...so I decided to open them wider, only to find that I still didn't see...
...so I closed them, only to see the back of my eyelids...
...so I just kept them the way they were supposed to...
...decided to go for a walk...
...slow down...
...quiet down...
...speak slowly...
...and guess what!
...I saw the trees, sun, cars, sidewalk, homes, children, parents, and birds.
I saw the world moving on even though I couldn't see.
There is someone much bigger than I, who works the mornings into evening.
I could stand still as much as I wanted to, try to see, stretch my eyes far ahead to see what's before, but regardless of my tiresome ways...God still works in the world and in me.
Lord, I know that you will let me see whatever you want me to see.
Protect my eyes, ears, mouth, and soul.
Make me a "good tree" that will bear "good fruit".
Even though I can't quite see and I don't quite understand, I know you are near me.
So even though you gave sight to the blind man, I hope that I would be a woman who could remain "blind" and trust you enough that you will allow me to "see".
These are insane words...because what if I do become blind?
All the more to lean on you Lord <3
Keep me Lord!
=)
