The secret of adaptation | Jeff Bracken | Usher Syndrome | Deaf and Blind

Jeff, a public high school teacher, shares how hearing impairment was no longer an obstacle once he gave his life to Christ. Yet once over the hill, there's still another mountain to climb.
September 19 is Usher Syndrome Awareness Day. Usher Syndrome is a rare genetic disorder primarily characterized by deafness due to an impaired ability of the inner ear and auditory nerves to transmit sensory (sound) input to the brain (sensorineual hearing loss) accompanied by retinitis pigmentosa, a disorder that affects the retina and causes progressive loss of vision.
Why September 19? This day falls near the autumnal equinox in the northern hemisphere, marking the start of days that contain more darkness than light - a powerful metaphor for Usher Syndrome.

Praise God! Jeff, your story is amazing. Keep sharing it. It has reminded me that the trust and closeness God wants us all to have is always there if we are willing to see it. It should be no other way.
