I think this is a great testimony considering peoples attitudes towards blindness is usaully a negative one.  But please read this ladies testimony.  And I hope others will gain the same attitude she has.  Including myself.

Testimony 

I did not go to the school for the blind. I have only lost my sight
 about 1 1/2 years ago.  I am diabetic, and survived many physical challenges as 
a 
child,  I was 12 when I became diabetic.  As I grew older, my doctors felt most 
of 
the  problems were regulated.  But about 6 years ago, a retina detached in my 
right  eye, they could not repair it,  so I became completely blind in that eye.  
About  1 1/2  years ago, the other detached, after 7 hours in surgery, they were 
able to reattach it, but because I was under for so long, there were other 
 complications.  I am learning to live a NEW life now.  I have about 20/100 
 vision in that one eye, but that is with coke bottle glasses..smiles.  
However,  God has blessed me in so many ways since I lost my vision, I feel that 
this 
was  just another door opening for me...it sounds odd, but I am happier now than 
I have ever been...but I am also closer to God, and heaven than I had ever 
been as  well!  Bless you all
Julie
