Embrace It
To say the last few months have been eventful would be an understatement. 2020 has truly been full of the unexpected. All of the high hopes, detailed dreams and anxious anticipations on December 31 were challenged by circumstances beyond our control. What even is a global pandemic? What does it mean to quarantine? Why would there ever not be toilet paper on the shelves? A mask being as necessary as my wallet? What the actual what? The crazy thing is that was truly only the beginning. The atmosphere was right. All of the proper ingredients were brewing. Fire was thrown to the flame at just the perfect rate came a seismic combustion of social justice set a blaze to the forefront of the world stage. Somewhere between the madness for hand sanitizer, madness of self isolation and madness of racial conversations(not to mention every life made in the image of God lost) I felt the stress, trauma and heartache of it all setting in heavy. I had to make some moves. Focus in. Care for myself and my family and listen for the voice that has guided me to this very moment in time.
