A new beginning
Wow...my first official entry. I can't believe it. After two days of hard work (and two years of daydreaming), my blog is FINALLY up and running. Actually, I'm beginning to think that FINALLY is an understatement. Oh well...
I'm going to start the day off with a trip to Mt Alvernia hospital. No, I'm not pregnant...I have an appointment with the eye doctor. If you don't already know by now, (you must be very slow...), I have been suffering from an eye infection since September. Hmmm, that's like two months ago? Feels like an awfully, horribly, terribly loooooonnnngg time if you'd ask me. A blind spot in my right eye, inconsistent headaches and two whole months with my speckys, it's hard to not whine...like a swine.
But as much as I would want the infection to disappear this very instant, a big part of me knows that it's all part of THE plan. You know, something that God wants me to experience. Once, someone said that when disaster strikes, it's like a double-edged sword - You can either see it as a blessing or a curse? Most of the time, we see it as a curse. Right? Right.
Blessings, to us, only seem to appear in the form of nicely wrapped packages, filled with warm and fuzzy feelings. Today, I have learnt to look at Blessings from a difficult perspective...like my eye infection for example. That could be a blessing in disguise. What is God trying to tell me? I don't know yet. I'm sure I will find out, in due time, and when that happens, I'll definitely share it with you.
