[Faith-talk] developmental delay among the blind

[Andrew]

the one thing is we need to allow god to help us over come this
developmental delay and  embrace the challenges.  The thing is this
the professionals are certainly not god that is for sure  and can we
believe everything they say that is the thing i really don't know i
guess  bottom line is this what do they base their facts on   because
a text book can be wrong.  but we know god is correct in my personal
opinion. I also feel that there can also be so many miss
understandings which does tie in to people for example trying to pray
blindness out of you.  there may be miss understandings in both those
areas  they both have things in common  as we as  blind people could
be interperited as having very little faith if people  for example
pray over us and we don't get healed things like that  and a things
could also be miss interperited to be a developmental delay but i also
feel that  need to be on the ready and not be taken off guard as to if
somebody wants to pray it out of you how you are going to handle it or
how you will be able to address it if these things come our way  allot
is that  educating needs to happen as well to.
