WE’VE HIT A WALL.

Can you feel it? They tell us the Covid peak is over and cases are dropping. Slipping ...
BUT SO IS OUR PATIENCE, TEMPERAMENT AND MOOD.
Conflicting information and emotions are everywhere.
I’m SHAMED with raised eyebrows for wearing a mask and SHAMED by others if I don’t. I can’t win.
“Mom are we there yet?” We begged the question on car trips as kids and we’re feeling it now after weeks of isolation.

WE’RE IN AN EMOTIONAL AND SPIRITUAL FUNK.
Burned out, angry, bored, lonely, feeling survivors guilt, battling anxiety, depressed and just really ... really craving a beautiful not-thinking-about-germs heartfelt hug.
IT’S A YO-YO BETWEEN HOPE AND HOPELESSNESS.

I’m not alone am I?
Here’s a thought. We’ve been here before. A crisis in our life where we didn’t have the answers. Didn’t know why. No end in sight. Now it’s a new crisis happening both on a global scale AND in our individual lives.

THIS IS WHAT I KNOW.
We CAN DO hard things.
We’ve all fallen to our knees for help with past hard things. God whispered and angels held us up as we rose to our feet and took a step forward. Now details are different. Unprecedented.
But the PATTERN is the SAME.
We can cower and wait for blue skies to be restored or we can pray to recognize a silver lining in current storm clouds.

TAKE A LOOK AT THAT WALL.
Partner with God. He’ll help you climb it. Embrace your faith.
YOU ARE HARDWIRED TO DO HARD THINGS.

See you on the other side ...
