Questions



OK more answers to questions coming to my email.
Why don't I wear glasses if I'm blind as a bat? I did wear them for several years as a child but Drs. finally realized that glasses did no good with the condition I have. I've been to many Drs. some came from other countries even, and my parents spent most of their savings probably, to find out there is nothing that can be done.
What was life like at a child? Well, thanks to very wise parents, my life was pretty normal. My parents actually put me in Pensacola Christian which was the toughest school in Pensacola, and I'm sure they spent many nights praying that I would make it there. I've never been able to see the chalkboard or for you young ones, the white board. God always provided dear friends to help me. In kindergarten, He brought a lifelong friend. Her name was Angela. She would tell me what the assignments were for the day , get me to my bus and help me around the halls until I had them memorized. Angela went on to achieve her PhD and we are still dear friends today although we live on opposite sides of the U.S.

Here is a link for those that wanted the Ocular Albinism link from the NOAH organization.

For those parents who have written and feel overwhelmed with your child's condition, I just want to say that there are many success stories from those of us who have OC. My parents learned early on to take each day as it comes and let your children try new things within reason. More on that later.
Pastor Traylor said in his sermon Sunday that the statement "God will never give you more than we can handle" is NOT a true statement. God sometimes DOES give us more than WE can handle, but when we rely on Him, He gives us the strength to handle it.

Thanks so much for posting on my blog...I love meeting people that I can go to when I do have questions...my motto in life lately has been to "let go and let God"..I too have concerns about my son driving and obstacles he and I will face as he gets older..but it is in God's hands...
