Glaucoma?!

I have had to wear glasses since the sixth grade, ugh. So I am very familiar with going in for an eye exam every year to every couple of years. Well, today I went in for a regular eye exam and to get contacts. Everything was going as usual, then the Dr. tells me my eye pressure is very high. Then I hear the word, glaucoma. I don't have glaucoma (thank you Lord!!!), but I am at high risk of getting it in the future. I don't know too much about it, besides it can cause blindness (I think). While I wait for my next appointment (in 4 months), I will surely be looking into it. I looked it up once today as soon as I got home and what I read made me kinda scared. As I sat here wondering if one day I will become blind or have to have some kind of eye surgery, I looked over at the calendar on the wall. Do you know what it said? At the bottom, it has a verse of scripture: 2 Samuel 22:33 God is my strength and power; and He maketh my way perfect. I thought, how silly I'm being. I was getting myself so worked up over what might one day happen. If it does or doesn't happen, God will be there giving me the strength to get through it. 

Thank you Grandma Spence for sending us those calendar's every year!!!!

  1. Wow! I can understand your concern, but you are right. The Lord's will be done and He will give us exactly what we need to get through it. It is easy for us to get worked up with the "what ifs" in life, but we just got to hold fast to the promises of God and be anxious for nothing. We'll be praying for you. Love you guys!
