The Eye of the Storm
A few of you read a post on Twitter about my eye and have asked. On Saturday morning I was mistakenly told hydrogen peroxide disinfectant was contact solution. I spent most of Saturday in a lot of pain and had an eye flush done at the ER. It was all extremely painful and something I never want to go through again. I’ve always heard mace is the most painful self-defense tool; now I see why.
By Sunday, my eye was beginning to feel better and is almost completely healed today. The human body really is amazing. The doctor in the ER told me our eyes can reproduce all new outer cells within two days. Incredible! Here’s a pic of what it looks like today:
That’s one big eyeball pic. Some of you have written that Lisa and I are being attacked by Satan because my eye was burned and our stuff was broken in the move. I definitely believe there is a spiritual battle going on right now and that we are being attacked. Whether my eye was part of that I’m not sure. If it was it backfired because God really used this to remind me of the brevity of life and why we’re here. Please keep us in your prayers as we start our first big ministry week.
Thanks,
Josh

Lisa and Josh…praying for you guys! And Josh I am so glad your eye has healed. I can’t even imagine..I mean that’s your eyeball!!!!!
That was such a weird moment. We were all carrying on like normal Then all of a sudden Josh starts YELLING ” Oh, Oh my gosh!!!” At first i thought he dropped something on his foot or something had broken. Then the yelling continued and we all knew something was wrong. We all ran to the bathroom to see Josh hunched over on the floor holding his eye yelling “What was that stuff???” Apparently like he said a solution was mistakenly given to him in place of contact solution. Josh is in so much pain that Jake could sense something was wrong and started balling. I had to run over and comfort him telling him daddy was going to be ok while hugging him tightly. Josh continued to flush out his eye while we are all scrambling calling poison control, the eye doctor, looking through the yellow pages. It was so scary.
I’m so relieved that after all the pain he went through there is no permanent damage and that the redness is subsiding. He is on antibiotic eye drops just to make sure nothing gets infected.
Although there are things like the furniture and Josh’s eye – we are still in great positive spirits and know there are great things here to be done that GOD has called us to join him in. Thanks for all the love, care and concern for us.
