My personal journey of low vision and encouraging words for anyone who is facing disability.

It is how you run the race, not when you cross the finish line
I don't mean to complain, but sometimes I get tired of all the focus on "miracles". I believe that miracles happen, but when you have dealt with something for 22 years and have come to terms with it, it gets really grating to hear all the complete heeling's and deliverance's. I think it is great for those who receive them, however, when you are one of the one's who doesn't have one it can can make you feel left out. And it is even more depressing when no one speaks of examples of those of us who have learned to continue our journey in spite of our obstacles. Seriously, I have to rely on God and lean in to Him daily, because truthfully no one in my life can support me the way my creator can and will. I have a awesome joy filled life and have learned some amazing things and met cool people on this journey, but the focus continues to be for those who get "healed". I am wondering, and fairly certain, there are more folks like me than in the 'miraculous group'. Again, I am not getting down on those who have been healed, more power to ya! I just think there are a lot of folks out there,like me, that could use the encouragement and inspiration of those who have gone before us and know that in spite of illness or disability there is a great life to be had. I don't need to be reminded of what I don't have, I need to be spurred on about what I could have without healing or deliverance. Let's face it, life really is about the journey not the finish line. Anyone care to run with me?
