Book Description

People ask me, aEURoeHow did you do it having six children and raising them totally blind?aEUR I always give them the same answer. aEURoeWith the help of God.aEUR This is the gospel truth. I donaEUR(tm)t know how I would have done it without His help. It was not easy, but I was determined to have children with or without sight. I always wanted children, even when I was a little girl. I was always around them. I was the youngest of three, but when you come from a big Italian family, there are always kids around; and more than likely, a lot of babies to take care of and play with. So taking care of babies was not hard for me. I was always very comfortable taking care of my own. How would you feel if a doctor told you at the age of twenty-three that you are going to be blind and there is no cure? I was a newlywed at the time. Would my new husband want to stay with a blind wife? Would I be able to accept living in the dark in a sighted world? Would all my dreams of a home and children go up in smoke? I never wanted to be a burden to my husband. ThataEUR(tm)s when I drew on my faith and trusted in God. If God got me to it, He would get me through it. You will read about the miraculous ways God worked things out in my life. The way in which I had my children was miraculous. He said, aEURoeFor I know the plans I have for youaEUR (Jeremiah 29:11). God is always in control. When I was a young girl, I was very insecure and shy. But with this change in my life, I had to toughen up, and thataEUR(tm)s exactly what I did. I went through a lot of hard times in my life, but a lot of happy times too. The secret is how you deal with it all. There was fun and lots of laughter, and a lot of surprises too. LifeaEUR(tm)s journey is very simple. You just follow the Lord and you canaEUR(tm)t go wrong. I am still following that path today, and I can say that, aEURoeYes, indeed, I walk by faith, and not by sight!aEUR (2 Corinthians 5:7).
