I had my blog pre-written for this week. It was exciting and celebratory and I was going to tell you that my bubble went, “POOF!”

The last time I had gone to see my surgeon that’s what he had said to me.

“The gas bubble I had to put in your eyes to operate, will continue to dissipate down to the bottom of your right eye. It will then look like a pebble and, “Poof,” it will be gone!”

Yesterday marks 7 weeks into my recovery… I have been waiting for two weeks for the “Poof”, and it has not happened!

I am still in the waiting. I have a gas bubble in the bottom of my right eye that still impairs my vision and leaves it blurry. It is moving constantly and as a very good friend of mine described it, it is like the bubble in a level! I am waiting for balance to return back to my vision!

Know, if I have come off in my blogs sounding impatient…that’s because I am! I was told it would take 6-8 weeks for the bubble to fully dissipate, but I was completely leaning on the side of six weeks, not seven and moving into eight!  

I want to share with you that I have learned to be patient… But I’m not sure that I have I also want to share with you that I have learned great perseverance… But I’m not sure that I have? And I would really love to tell you that I have learned to be content in all situations… But let’s face it, I’m not the apostle Paul!

But what I can tell you is I have learned to walk side by side with my God.

He truly has been the only one that I could see clearly during this entire seven weeks! I have been gently reminded by Him that His desire is to walk with me, to talk with me and to just be with me! He doesn’t require me having 2020 vision, or being whole or even healed, He just requires my presence! 

“And they heard The sound of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day…The Lord God called to the man and said to him, “Where are you!”

Genesis 3:8-9

From the beginning of creation God has wanted to walk with His children. God was walking in the garden in the cool of the day, this was no first time occurrence, it was a regular occurrence. It was obvious that God expected His children to be there waiting for Him and looking for Him.

When He did not see them He called out to them!

God created them out of nothing and He put His own breath of life and His very own spirit into them, and then He wanted to walk with them!

One of the greatest lessons that I have learned from this frustratingly long process is that God is also waiting for me. He is waiting for me to slow down!

He is waiting for me to stop focusing on what I want and focus on desiring Him! He is waiting for me to take my eyes off of my circumstances and look to Him! He is not only waiting for me to, “BE STILL AND KNOW.” He is also longing for me to walk with Him!

Walking is an action, it is a movement, and walking together means we are in sync with each other! We can walk and communicate with each other or we can just walk and simply be together.

I am in awe that the God of the entire universe that created every living being desires to walk with me! 

While I am waiting for my bubble to go

“POOF,” and long after it is gone, I will walk with God!

I praise God for the quiet that has been forced into my life and caused me to realize my great God desires to walk with me!
