βPEACEβ de resistance: think about it this way…
Honestly, todayβs been HECTIC.
Officially, Iβm off of work for 2 weeks with pay. And the climate out in the world right now has matched what theyβre now calling this PANDEMIC; itβs truly causing PANIC. Despite my post to you yesterday about not worrying, I fell into some of that today, and itβs hard not too when everyone around you is scrambling for food and toilet paper, or when the kids at your job seem to be creating a chaos and panic all on their own.
I definitely had to clear my head β had to shut off the social media narratives about whatβs happening, had to assure myself of Godβs control in this situation despite what it looks like right now. So, instead of dwelling on such matters, my desire for the next two weeks is to get some serious creative work done ππ¦, and rest my little body and soul up because working the way Iβve been working gets tiring after a while.
Despite the circumstances, I am truly grateful for this two week break. And maybe this is one reason why God allowed all of this to happen: to allow the world to stop for a moment, and focus on whatβs really going on in our lives. Iβm not saying He desires for us to horde food and toilet paper from those in need, but maybe every single one of us has something in our lives that we needed God to stop our little lives, our little worlds to get our attention for.
I wonβt make this post long, just want you to think about this whole COVID-19 situation like this…if youβre taking a break from school or work for a week or so, what in your life could you focus on working on in the days to come? What is God saying to you? What is He bringing your attention to? What can you work on β your passion, yourself, your relationships, your dreams?
Donβt spend so much time focusing on this pandemic, that you miss out on what God may be wanting to show you in your own life! And, if you somehow wind up getting ill within all this (although I pray you all stay healthy and safe! ππ½), He still has something to show you! Stay hopeful. Pray constantly. Have faith that Heβs going to bring you through this!
This concludes my βπ½PEACEβπ½ blog series! I hope you guys have enjoyed it, and shared it with a friend or two if you thought it would help! π Gonna keep this blog thing going tomorrow for yβall! Sweet dreams! ππ΄π
