There is so much uncertainty right now with jobs and illness and everything really. Yet, as I sit here eating my toast that reminds me of mornings at Grandma Margaret's house, I am finding God is bringing his blessings of this past week to my mind.
For one, I have learned that I have work FOMO. I really really do and I have been placed on medical house arrest (okay dramatic an all but its how I FEEL). And they've shut down. Which I could let scare me OR I can take that as a guilt free time to sit at home and write.
I went to target and met some truly lovely people. And God saved me food He knew I was wanting. Like taquitos! He saved me one box of taquitos! (The chicken and cheese kind AKA THE ONLY GOOD ONES). And even though the milk section was cleared out, He had saved some Almond Milk! There could have been only soy or nothing, but he saved me my favorite kind of Almond milk that I normally do not allow myself to buy because of price.
HE IS SO GOOD!
Even though I am frustrated my daughter doesn't seem to want to be born anytime soon (even though her scheduled eviction is in like 9 days away) I am enjoying the quiet with my husband.
I know this early morning blog is a bit scattered but here is what I am trying to say.
There are SO many reasons I could be anxious or afraid or angry or worried or annoyed. And there are times that DOES creep in.
But there are so many things beyond those feelings.
God has not given up on his children.
He really hasn't.
He is with us in the dark times.
The sick times.
The uncertain times.
The good times.
The quiet times
The loud times.
And the precious few times you get up early to enjoy toast and cuddles with your puppy curled up on the couch listening to the rain bring in a new day.
Don't let fear control you.
Be calm and trust God.
Enjoy the time you have, guilt-free, to spend with your families.
Enjoy the slowness of life in the midst of a busy world.
Do a puzzle
Read that book you've set aside.
DO YOUR WORK FROM HOME IN YOUR PAJAMAS!
Live life how we were wishing to live life while we were busy.
Time is precious and we now HAVE time to spend doing things we like with people we love. (Even it is limited to stuff at home.)
Be crafty and artsy.
Try that new video game that's been sitting on your shelf for six months because you had "too much to do" and didn't feel like you could actually spend time to play it!
Color in a coloring book.
Live life like we did on a Saturday morning back in the nineties to early 2000's.
Eat dry cereal while you watch reruns of the Animaniacs on Hulu.
Enjoy this slow time God has given us.
Turst him to provide ALL your needs.
Band together with friends and families and help each other out.
Fear is deadly.
Don't let it consume you or control you.
Be safe you guys.
Trust God.
I will talk to you all soon!
