Tara checked my vestibular system. Blair asked to give brief background and what going on with dizziness. 

Tara said she could see my eyes skipping in exercises she asked me to do.  Amazing that she could see when my peripheral vision got blurry. 

Tara suggested I seek out a neurooptimologist. They specialize in vision problems. This helped to validate some of issues I’m having. Blair said this type of Dr would be good to have on my team.

Salt & Light

Matthew 5:16 – Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.

As Christians, we are to be salt and light in this world. As salt, we are to seek to influence others with our lives showing Christ’s unconditional love. As light, we are to be witnesses concerning the truth of the Gospel. 

Salt works internally while light works externally, affecting everything they reach. Hence, our lives should exemplify Christ both spiritually and physically with all with whom we come into contact. 

May our lives influence others in such a way that it draws them to Christ. Praying you have a dynamic day!🍁
