            As I listened to the tape multiple times, I realized that even though I had been raised in a faith filled environment and had seen neat things pertaining to healing, I was battling doubt that God was going to heal me. Hopefully the eye drops would keep the pressure down, but maybe I would have to live with the blindness. Healing is the children�s bread. In this message, I thought I had found the answer. I had believed that God could heal. I knew He had the power to heal. I knew that He had healed other people, but the question was:  Would He heal me? I knew that God could but I did not know that he would. When I listened to the tape enough to get it in my spirit that He would heal me and that it was his will to heal me, I just knew it was going to happen any day. I could see where I had misunderstood, and I was thanking God that I now had the key. Days passed, then weeks, then months and as time passed neither the eye drops, nor the prayer, nor the key I thought I had found seemed to work, and the pressure in the eye began to creep up again and surgery was inevitable. I did not understand, but I did what I could.   

            I knew what high pressure in the eye could do and I did not want to lose more sight, so I opted for surgery in October of that year. The surgery was going to help open up the area that was blocking the flow of my fluid in the eye. I was assured by the doctor that the surgery was going to work, and I would not have to suffer with the pressure rising again until later in life. It was a laser surgery to open up the area in the eye to allow the fluid to move more freely, and it was also a common surgery for glaucoma patients. For those that want to know, the surgery was called a tribectelectomy. I was ready to get this behind me and felt as though God would guide the hand of the doctor and exercised my faith in this direction.
