That was then....this is now

Don't let the date of the last post confuse you. It WAS last year! I was recovering from shoulder surgery when suddenly had terrible pain in both my eyes and I lost my ability to see. I had a very sudden condition of the cornea come upon me that took away my ability to focus. Literally. Everyone looked like blurry trees. It was extremely painful and a medical condition that took months to clear up. Ugh! Needless to say, I wasn't on the computer or anything else. But....... that was then, this is now.

God is good. Even in the mix of bad days, bad shoulder surgery and bad vision he is faithful. I have experienced the grace of God in trials and tribulations. I learned to lean on Him like never before. It was a quiet time in my life.....on all fronts. Being confined to the house and not being able to drive or get around on my own much less be on the computer, or read or watch TV - gave pause to listen a LOT more. I heard God speak. He was gentle and yet firm. He was loving and compassionate. He spoke of things past and things to come come. I treasure this time. I am now moving forward because as I said... That was then....this is now.
