Trees Walking Around

"Some people brought a blind man to Jesus, and they begged him to touch and heal the man. Jesus took the blind man by the hand and led him out of the village. Then, spitting on the man's eyes, he laid his hands on him and asked, 'Can you see anything now?' The man looked around. 'Yes,' he said. 'I see people but I can't see them very clearly. They look like trees walking around.' Then Jesus placed his hands over the man's eyes again. As the man stared intently, his sight was completely restored and he could see everything clearly." -- Mark 8:22-25

My husband Mike has been blind for 12 years and has had no sight in his left eye for over 40 years. A couple months ago, and without any medical intervention, he began seeing glimpses of things out of that eye. On Thursday I witnessed him read five numbers off an eye chart. And right there in the doctor's office while he was weeping and the doctor was doing everything she could to keep her own emotions in check, God dropped Mark 8 into my spirit. It has been an amazing faith journey for both of us and in a couple weeks, with the help of a new lens, Mike will be seeing people "like trees walking around!" Just one more touch from Jesus and his eyesight will be completely restored. Just remember God does instantaneous healings (like my healing from MS) and he also does gradual healings. All are to be celebrated.
