It’s been a while since I’ve journeyed into blog land but when all my social avenues are closed for now, what does one do….turn to blogging.

I feel I’m on Mr Toads wild ride. The path ahead is a little blurry and unknown, for many of us. When thrust into something we never saw coming our world gets topsy turvy and very unsettled.

When I moved from New Mexico to Arizona the one word I kept hearing in my head was “different”. This is how the Lord speaks to me, either one word or a short phrase. Such as walking into 2020 I kept hearing “Eyes Wide Open”. So here I am today walking with eyes wide open to a different world. And different it has been….everything. New beginnings can be rough but throw in world hysteria and oh my. As an introvert by nature and an extrovert by necessity (past life) social distance should be easy (one would think) but that little bit of extrovert is craving human interaction. When I leave my bubble (home) and see people in panic mode, something in my mind separates. It’s like living in a movie…very surreal. However, very real.

When all this started I had no doubt, this is all part of God’s plan. For those of us who are true, deep believers are looking forward to Jesus’s return. God is a very ordered God. He doesn’t do things on a whim, he’s calculated, planned, very timely (His time, not ours), just, purposeful and so much more. His ways are not our ways, God is His own person, he does know what’s happening; he does know what he’s doing. Now comes our part…Trust, faith and maybe a little pixie dust…to get us through.

So for now, I’ll stay in my bubble, not worry where my next meal will come from (my kitchen or take out), or what happened to all the TP???, be aware of my surrounds…but not saturate myself with media drama (some is good but too much is not), and pray….a lot. Different=yes, eyes wide open=yes, scared=absolutely not.

Let the peace of God reign in our lives. God will heal our land, when we finally turn from our wicked, unruly ways, and seek Him in truth, trust Him with our whole hearts and not respond in fear.

God has provided for me in ways no person ever could, emotionally, financially, carried me when I thought I just can’t take another step, He’s cried with me and I think at times for me. He’s stood by me when others couldn’t handle my grief. I’m not about to start doubting Him now. He is here and only a breath away.
