Those of you who have read my book this might not be new but those of you who haven’t I want to encourage you that it is possible to choose joy during this pandemic, to have a peace and a confidence that comes from our Almighty Creator. This pandemic is harder for some than others but it has ended life as we knew it for all and we are all grieving.
Some of us are already stayed a home and homeschooling out kids so this isn’t that much different during the week, some of us are not working from home and homeschooling at the same time trying to get everything done without help from babysitters, house cleaners and frequent take our, which is how we got it all done before this. Some of us are on the front lines watching the sick get sicker, seeing doctors throw up their hands as they come to the end of their knowledge in how to help their patient with covid-19.
Have faith. God is still here. As a result of the pandemic, many people are highly anxious. Fear is in the air. As I look around me, I realize that God had been preparing me for just this instance through the growth in me necessary to get my book finished and published. Something really bad is happening and had God not allowed me the blessing of writing my book, allowing me to soak deeply in an eternal perspective which taught me how to surrender my anxiety over to Him just before this happened, I would have ended up paralyzed in fear and anxiety. Without the work that God has done in me and the journey of writing the “Perspective” book, I don't know where I would be during the tragic time of global pandemic.
Friend I don’t know where you are right now but I want to encourage you that God is in control. God loves you and has a plan for you. We will have trials in this lie but God is bigger than all of it.
John 16:33 (NIV)
“I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.”
