Seeing Vividly

From the time I was seven years old I had bad vision and wore glasses.  Each passing year, my vision worsened.  The alarm clock sat less than a foot away from my face with numbers two inches tall, yet I had to squint to see them.  I couldn't see to swim since it is not wise to swim in contacts or eye glasses.  I could not see in the middle of the night when my babies would cry.  Not having vision is a very hard thing.  I went twenty long years like this.


Five years ago this month, I was blessed to be able to have lasik eye surgery. {Stop counting.  I know I just gave my age away, I will soon be 32}  Finally after all these years of living through life blindly, I could see!  I could see vividly.  It was an incredible feeling!


I feel like it has been this way in my walk with God as well.  I followed Him blindly.  I knew where to go and what to say and do, just as I did without my glasses.  But to truly know Him?  I didn't.  I couldn't see Him vividly.


The past couple of years my prayer has been, God let me see You vividly.  Let me fully know You.  Let me experience Your presence.


I want to experience His presence vividly.


What about you?  Are you going through life blind?  You know where things are and where to step but are your eyes open to Him?


Sweet Blessings~
