Today I did the blindfold challenge and it was really tough. It stung my eyes a bit and my eyes got itchy at times.
We had breakfast and my shower without my blindfold on, which was a relief to me!
I went to church with my blindfold on. Mum helped me around the house and getting into the car. I noticed that it was not easy to be blind. It was a little bit scary so it was nice sitting on her knee at church.
I did a couple of wooden puzzles and managed to feel my way to put things in the right holes. I drew 1 lovely picture for Mum and a whole lot of lovely writing with my blindfold on.
The worst part of the challenge was getting caught in a big rainstorm. I had to rush and take big steps over over-flowing gutters and it was scary, tiring and cold.
After the first hour and a half, I was getting really bored so it was good to play some games in 'Kids Church'. This photo is of me in 'Kid's church' playing 'Simon Says'. It was the only time I was happy to not be able to see, because I couldn't get tricked by the actions, and just focus carefully on what was being said, so I did quite well at that!
I felt so relieved when I got to take my blindfold off after 2 & 1/2 hours. I sung a song when I was finished " I love my life, I love my Mum, I love the Lord, but most of all I love to see!"
It felt soooo good to look around. I hope what I did helps many people in Jerusalem see (Zachariah).
