See this optic nerve is thick as a rope but my right one looks like a string! |
I was born with my right eye blind. So I can only see out of my left eye. And now I can see a little bit out of my right eye. So I am going to tell you guys the story about My Wonderful Eye.
Mom told me that when I was 2 years old we went to the doctor and they said I have what's called a lazy eye. So they told my dad to patch my good eye! It was like turning the lights out, so I feel asleep alot. So then my dad didn't do it more than a couple times.
Then when I was 4, my mom took me to the eye doctor again and they took pictures of my optic nerve and discovered the one on the right was almost nothing. That's when they knew that I have Optic Nerve Hypoplasia, where the nerve that connects the eye to the brain doesn't develop. I don't know what happened next so my mom is going to fill in some gaps:
When I took Edyn to the eye doctor that day, we knew that she didn't have a lazy eye. What we never could have expected was to find out that her condition was congenital, and that there was no cure and no operation to fix it. It was like getting punched in the stomach. I remember calling her dad at work and explaining what the doctor said and we cried together on the phone. It was devestating, and we were sad for several days. But the next phone call I made was to my mom, Edyn's Grenna, and she said what I knew to be true, that just because the world didn't know how to fix her eye, didn't mean she had to live with it. My mom began praying immediately for healing and so did I. It has taken some growing in our faith, but in the past couple of years, both my husband and I have been living and walking in faith more and more. So, as Edyn's spiritual journey has progressed, I knew it was time to explain to her what it meant to truly have faith in God's Word and His perfect plan for us. That was about three months ago, and since then she has been trying to confess God's Word over her eye. She can tell you the rest.
My dad showed us a video of Christopher Duffley and he is autistic and blind, but in the video he was singing a beautiful worship song called "Open the Eyes of my Heart." This really touched my heart because he was completely blind and was facing lots of challenges, but he was full of joy! I thought he was so sweet cause I don't know any other blind kids. And I almost wanted to cry because it touched my heart so much.
When I was little I didn't really care much about my eye because I didn't know what was going on but as I started to get older I realized what was going on and I was more concerned. Then 3 months ago my mom said every time I think about my eyes I say " I am healed in Jesus name."
Then two days ago I realized that I can see out of the corner of my eye. Before that I could only tell if there was a light on. I told everyone in the house 'cause I was so excited! And everyone was just excited as I was. We have believed that God's word is true and never fails! And we command our bodies to line up with God's word! I guess my eye finally decided to obey!
Edyn, what an awesome testimony-and so beautifully expressed! The day is coming when you will have perfect vision in that eye, praise God!

DeletePraise the LORD!!! I agree with "Grenna" - that IS and AWESOME testimony. I'm also in agreement with you that You ARE HEALED and your eye is completely lining up with that truth - in Jesus' Name!
