The Blind can really see, I <3 BEVERLY

 
            Isn’t she beautiful? This amazing girl has captured my heart. Beverly is 16 years old and was born blind. But I am a witness, this girl can really see. And she sees beautiful things.
            Last Tuesday, we were scheduled to go to the special children’s school and I was super excited to see Beverly and spend time with her. Last time I saw her, I gave her a pair of my used capris that I brought to give to the kids. I was hoping that when I see her, she would be wearing them and we would have a great time singing, laughing and reciting alphabets and numbers in English.
            So with my hopes up and my spirits high, I went straight to her classroom expecting her to be there. But she was not there. My heart just fell to the ground. Even though I was surrounded with kids and played with some of them, my thoughts were about Beverly. So before we left, I wrote her a letter.
            The week after, we went back to the special school and this time I told God I really want to see Beverly. So with the same excitement I had, I went straight to her classroom. There she was!!!!! I gave her a hug, called her name and she responded with a big smile and with her happy voice said, “JAIMIE!!!!!”. I got happier that she remembered my name. Class was over so I asked her maestra if I can take her outside.
            We sat outside while the other kids played soccer or hung out at the playground. Every time I look at her, I see this beaming smile and I can’t help but feel warm inside. I told her, “I miss you Beverly” and she replied, “I miss you Jaimie”. I asked her if she got my letter and she said she loved it. I was so happy when I saw her that I didn’t even notice what she was wearing until she pointed it to me. God is really amazing! That was exactly what I prayed for last week and He knows when the timing is right and perfect.
            We sang, laughed and tickled each other until it was time for her to go. She loves Justin Beiber and she has such a beautiful voice. Every moment with her felt like a taste of heaven here on earth. Even though my mind told me she’s blind, her smile told me otherwise. It’s like I was in paradise and she gave me a pass to enter the garden of GOD and sit with our Father.
            It was sad to say goodbye to her and before she left, she gave me a big hug and whispered, “I love you Jaimie”. I didn’t want to let her go. As I watched her walk with her cousin back to her house, God whispered to me, “She is blessed, Jaimie. Don’t you even worry about her.”
            Because the truth is, her blindness is a gift from God. And our GOD ALWAYS GIVES GOOD GIFTS. The world says she can’t see but her Father says she can. She sees more than what our eyes can see. She sees our Father, she sees Jesus, and she sees the Holy Spirit.

P.S.

Much love,
