Last week, the optometrist discovered a virus on my corneas. I was grateful to have “unveiled” a reason for my blurred vision, but have wrestled with what that diagnosis has implied for my physical body and my ability to work.
The blurriness has subsided, but is not totally gone. Eye fatigue and eye strain have been continued factors and seeing detail, especially to read, has been nearly impossible.
Much of what I do in life and in ministry is dependent on eyesight. No matter how good a typist I claim to be, I need to be able to proof what I have written – whether for a blog post, a thank-you note, or the new book I’m supposed to be working on. There is much value in the Word that is written in my heart, but have been unable to read and study the Word as I would like, whether for a devotional thought or in preparation for the new book.
I have wrestled with feelings of guilt and frustration – mostly because, yet again, I have been focused on a dependence on my own abilities. I have been quite literally reminded that I must walk by faith, not by sight.
In what ways are you depending on your own abilities – your “sight” – instead of walking by faith? A challenging question for this Makeover Monday.

On Wednesday, I mentioned the crepes that mom would make us as kids to motivate us to get out of bed. Here is a gluten and dairy free version of the recipe below for your enjoyment.
Heat a non-stick skillet on medium/medium-high heat. The skillet should be hot before pouring the batter into the skillet to make the crepes.
For 3 large crepes:
In a 2-cup glass measuring cup, measure ½ cup of rice milk.
Add 1 egg and whisk briskly.
Add a dash of salt and generous tsp. of oil (I use grapeseed oil)
Whisk again.
Finally, add ½ cup of brown rice flour and whisk together.
The consistency of the batter should be thinner than pancake batter, but not too runny.
Lift the skillet off the burner as you pour the batter into the center of the hot skillet. Turn/roll the skillet as the way of spreading the batter to the edges of the skillet.
As the 1st side of the crepe cooks, the edges will start to lift from the skillet and the batter will start to turn shiny.
Flip the crepe and cook less time on the 2nd side.
Fill with whatever sweet or savory filling and enjoy!
