Two years or so ago, my daughter was complaining about vision problems. She wants glasses and I assumed she was saying she had vision problems so she could have glasses. I took her to the optometrist anyway. The eye doctor checked her eyes and said that she was experiencing "rainbows" in her sight. They come and they go. The doctor said that sometimes they are related to migraine headaches, but not always. Basically these rainbow colors show up and are distracting to her for a while. They appear most often outdoors. So I had to ask.. do you ever see rainbows with people - yes. She blinks her eyes over and over to get them to go away.
A few weeks ago my daughter told me that her dead grandmother talks to her. You know me, I'm game. I asked her if she was afraid, she said no. I asked her what she says and she really couldn't put it to words. She said.. just talking. She also has a few other dead relatives around talking around her more than to her.
Her Dad takes her to church. Probably to overcome any bad influences I may have on her ;-) She was worried because she heard the Pastor talk about "demons speaking to people". She confided in him (the Pastor) about the voices. He told her it is demons. I caught her praying her little heart out. She was praying to God that he would make the demons go away.
Is this how we loose it? Maybe a moment some time in our lives where we noticed something different about ourselves. Since different is bad we just shut our eyes until it goes away.
I have to tell her now that the voices probably aren't demons. But what if they are? At 10 does she know the difference. Isnt it just easier to make everything unknown go away? I'm sure she and I will get this figured out. I'm just glad she did tell me about it.
