Going Blind

Hey Guys this is kunoichi,

I need some prayer with this...cuz its putting me into depression. I just did it anonymously cuz i'm too lazy to login and making this fast cuz i'm at work.

Long story short, I was born with detached retina and i have vision in one eye and blind in the other. Its been fine until about 6 months ago when i started to get flashes and floaters. Went to my specialist and they said that something is pulling on my retina which can either detach fine or can detach my retina, making me blind.

If my retina detaches, i have a very very small chance of getting my vision back and thats if i can find a surgeon who would be willing to touch me.

Last few weeks my flashes have gotten increasingly worse. And i'm starting to get tremendous amounts of floaters. I can't go to the specialist because I can't afford to...

I trust in the goodness of the Lord, but i'm scared. Please pray that i will have courage, even if i must being physically blind for the rest of my life.

My special thing this Lent is to pray for one person especially of the CAA each day from Ash Wednesday until Easter...and I'll be praying for you especially tomorrow. But just the same, you most certainly have my prayers starting now and even beyond tomorrow as well.

I assume you have been tested for eye problems that can cause this?

I will certainly be praying for you. Healing in God's name.

*Hugs Kunoichi* Eye problems are so scary :( I have this genetic eye condition that skipped everyone in my family pretty much and showed up to me. Something also dealing with the retina. There was a 75% of not getting it and a 25% of getting it. I guess I was the lucky one to get it ^ ^; Anyway, the result seems to be the same. It is scary, but all we can do is pray that it doesn't turn out that way >_>

*Hug* I'll be praying for you :hug:

Stay strong and never loose hope (means the same thing, but yeah) ^ ^

Will have courage? It looks to me that you already have it. You are like the perfect example of how a Christian should act and feel in times of trouble - humble, faithful, and still loving the Lord. I pray for your courage (John 14:27), but your words have touched me so much that I'm going to have the audactity to pray that you see out of both eyes perfectly. And with the same love I pray for Tsukuyomi and truthobjective. I thank God for your passionate faith.

Not to be rude or derail this thread, but if you're blind, how could you have used the Internet to find this forum and read this thread to write a reply?

Or do you take dictation?

I'm not able to drive too much right now, only as much as I absolutely have to for work.

For those of you that are praying, I thankyou. For those of you who are offering advice, I thankyou.

I'm currently getting some books on braille and doing research. I will trust in the goodness of the Lord, no matter the outcome.

And there are resources available for you to help. Just don't be afraid to ask!

*hugs*

My heart breaks for you Kunoichi. Any problems I have are minor irritations and I think about all the ways I've taken my body for granted.

The Lord knows what you need and he knows how to take care of you, no matter what condition your body is in. I'll be praying for you.

Truthobjective is my good friend so I'll reply to this because I know the answer. Some computer developers have been hard at work on screen readers that basically convert any body of text into spoken audio, which allows blind people to use many of the features formerly only available to sighted people. We talk over AIM all the time, and Truthobjective is quite the computer aficionado. And as to how he registered, because the CAPATCHA is a living nightmare to the blind, he asked me as a trusted friend to input the information to register his profile.

"Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven." - Matthew 5:3

Sometimes hard to come to terms with, especially when depressed, but a fundamental truth nonetheless. For the impact you've had on people via CAA, your reward is great indeed.

Hey guys,

well i have my family mad at me cuz i'm staying at the job i am in. Because it does not require a degree, they do not deem it owrthy. I feel abandoned, frustrated, sad, angry, with out hope, and just all arund miserable. Maybe it makes me weak, aybe it makes me a whiner but so be it. I do not care anymore!

I can't deal with this anymore.

I have cried out to God and he remains silent, I have tried to see if he would direct my path but all he says s follow him. I'm so confused, so lost. If i didn't have such a repulsion to it, I would start drinking to just easte some of the pain away.

Sorry again for the mispellings, can't see this to type it so if it is kinda jarbled then i apologize. I'm so stressed with my financial situation at the moment (lots of medical bills) and school, and work, and home and family and life. From teh grace of God alone I have not gone into suicidal thinking but i want to run. I want to just get away as far as I can . I just can't handle anything anymore....and worse yet, I may be getting fired cuz all of this is making me incapapble of doing my job which I love to do! .....I have no where to turn and no light to lift my spirits.

I can see why Jesus in his anguish, cried out to his father in the midst of his suffering an dsaid, "Father why have you forsaken me." Maybe that is what I feel. I am humble before God cuz I can't control oa lick of this but I too question, "why? " i do not have any strength left in my body. I have none. I am getting devoured on all sides and I can't not lift a hand to fight or raise my spirit. I am done.

Don't give up, Kun. God will meet all your needs --He's still good no matter what circumstances we find ourselves in.

Philippians 4:19
"And my God will meet all your needs according to his glorious riches in Christ Jesus."

Keep us update. Love you.
