Debbie Fike

Here is a note from my cousin, Deb:

"My eyesight is getting worse. As you know, I am already blind in my left eye. I purchased bifocals for my right eye a few months ago and they were perfect. I had great vision. Now, my vision is growing worse and I am trying to get an appointment with the New York State Commission for the Blind and Visually Handicapped. A person has to be 51 years of age to get in to an eye doctor that specializes in legal blindness, etc. I need to see such an eye doctor, and ,hopefully, after talking to the NYS Commission I can get in for free. Otherwise, like I said, you have to be 51 years of age. My current eye doctor is the one who gave me their phone number.

"I would appreciate if you all would pray for me right now. I've always said if I lost anything, I would rather lose my hearing than my eyesight. I have always been a complete 'bookworm'; the thought of not being about to read God's Word, my devotional books, and additional reading (Karen Kingsbury,the Thoenes)is hard. I know God does all things well; there is a 'purpose for everything under the sun'. I don't want to be insensitive to what He is doing in my life; I just want to be clay in His hands so I can be completely molded into what He wants me to be. He has been so, so good to me. He has given me a wonderful family, a wonderful husband and son, and He has been there every single step of the way. I have no complaints!! He's a wonderful Saviour to me! :) There's not much I can do for Him, but one thing I know . . . He has ALL of me! Thank you for your prayers! You all are tops, in my book!"

Thanks for the update on Debbie. I think of her often and wonder how she is doing. Very sad. What a testimony for her though, after all she has been through and to say she has no complaints! WOW! Makes me think if it were me, would I be able to say that! I'll say an extra prayer for her now and in the days ahead!
