I have good news about life but I don't know how to share it. I don't know the ends and outs about marketing this message. We are at a time in history where we are shut down because of a virus. I have to tell you that I am starting to feel the limitations to my character.
I don't know why I stopped writing on my blog. Maybe it was getting to be too much for me. Maybe I hadn't reached the goals that I wanted to reach with it. I definitely don't have the readership. I want to help people but I think that I am offering my unsolicited advice to people who don't care what I think. They don't care because they have there own cares, their own worries, their own issues that keep them too busy to slow down and hear any good news about this whole living.
I come to realize that I need to keep writing because the message is for me as well.
Slow down.
Slow down and learn the meaning of life. . .
I feel like I want to start the next section like Oprah always ends her magazine, there are things I know for sure.
What I know for sure is that this life is not the only life to live but we shouldn't let it go to waste. Things change, circumstances change, routines change, and inconveniences happen; it is our job to role with the punches. It is our job to keep going because someone who is younger and looking at us need to see that we can adapt, that we can be strong and get through it. Someone who looks up to us wants us to be strong in the face of adversity so that they can create a story of triumph in their lives.
What I know for sure is that we need to show up for the people who we love and for the people who love us. We are all influencers. We all matter. It doesn't matter who sees our strength or perceives our presence on the internet. We need to be good people all of the time.
What I know for sure is that God didn't design his Kingdom for every individual to be the leader over the whole body. No, he designed his Kingdom with citizens who are unique, with different talents and different strengths. People are uniquely designed to be productive within a specific territory. So, I have to start at home first. My home is my territory. Then we grow from where we are planted.
What I know for sure is that Jesus loves me and he will never leave me nor forsake me. I will hold on to that promise forever and ever.
Somethings I don't know for sure but that is okay. I find joy in the promise of everlasting life. This is what I teach my children. The joy of the Lord is my strength
I don't have a plan of action for the Corona Virus because this has never been a thing that has happened to many of us before. I don't know what to expect from this quarantine and I find myself at a loss. I actually just finished crying after watching Britney Runs a Marathon on Amazon Prime because I was supposed to be better than getting into my PJ's at 5 o"clock in the evening. I was supposed to be stronger than eating a half a pack of delicious Shop Rite sugar cookies. I was supposed to be smarter than ignoring my kids for half the day because I was too lazy to plan quality time with them. I let them be on Netflix all day, or video games, or what ever else they found to occupy their time. But friends, I am a miser like everyone else. Me being a believer in Christ doesn't make me better, wiser, or unaffected by the events of this present time. I am just making it through with Jesus and asking him to navigate me through it. Thank you father for direction.
What I know for sure is that the Lord is with us and he works everything out for the good.
