I'm trying to stay off social media these days. First of all because I gave it up for Lent, and second of all because every time I get on social media there seems to be more panic and chaos. It is such a trying time right now for the world. In many ways I am writing this post, to have something to remember. To remember that on a daily basis more and more things were closing. To remember what it was like to be told I needed to work from home. To remember when bars, casinos, schools, churches and restaurants were told to close down. I want to remember. Because when we get through all of this, I want to be able to look back and see just how it all worked out.
Right now there are so many unknowns. For myself I don't feel too much worry. But looking at our world right now, I just can't help but wonder how this is going to impact us all in the long run. I am lucky, my work is continuing to pay us our normal hours, and I can work from home. There are not a lot of hourly people that get that privilege. But so many businesses are going to be in trouble because of this.
So... it does at times make me question God, and my faith. But then at other times it makes me feel Him even more. Just so many ups and downs right now.
A lot of solitude.... and I feel like that is going to be good. I want to take the time to just pray and journal. Take the time to ask for answers to things that I have been thinking about, and then wait to hear. Taking time to just turn off everything... all the noise that interrupts my day, and just be.
So... for now I am waiting just like the rest of the world to see how all this plays out, but I am thankful to have faith in a God that is in control.
