Welcome to the real world of broken things broken people, broken dreams and dark seasons. But, it is all-well! Don't give up; your journey can be bright. The pain of not being able to do things as I used to, travel and enjoy the scenery never crossed my mind that I would switch worlds that quickly. I find it to be a different world, and very stressful when you don't want to accept it. In the year 2002, after having surgery on my eye followed by two series of Laser interventions. I had to face reality and the fact that after working as a nurse for thirty-seven years, I would no longer work at my career. I can still hear the surgeon saying to me after my recovery, 'I don't expect to see you except for your annual check ups. There isn't anything more we can do for you.' I remember walking out of the office looking across the parking lot for my husband's vehicle. I could hardly see! Blinded by the sunshine I looked up to heaven and uttered these words, 'God, I thank you! You said what is impossible with man is possible with you! With tears streaming down my cheek, a car drove up . . . . .!These are comforting and inspired words of Jesus, 'I have told you these things, that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.' Having to face these periods of adversity and brokenness matures us and prepares us for greatness. It also makes us a witness of his abounding grace to others. Let Him become your only source.This book: 'If I Never See Another Sunshine.' will encourage and empower you though there will never be a tomorrow.'
