Looking for the Good in the Bad
Hey, my lovely, beautiful, and free followers!
It’s been a couple of weeks since I last posted! I decided to step away from blogging for a bit and give myself time to reflect/work on things that I felt God showing me. Being in quarantine has revealed to me pieces in my life I needed to fix. Already 3 months stuck at home away from everyone...it becomes tiring, and I’ve grown restless. I know that businesses and places have opened up to 25% capacity, but even then, it’s not the same. I still am unable to see friends or hang out with family like I usually would, and it really stinks. I had moments where I was upset because I couldn’t do my life as I had hoped.
Everything changed, and it took me a while to see the good in all this. You’re probably reading this and thinking to yourself, “how can all this be good?” I know that some of you may be working from home, not working at the moment or working, but the business has been slow. I know some of you are stuck at home with people that you rarely used to see because you were never at home. I know some of you had things to look forward to, and now because of this virus...you weren’t able to. Everyone’s world has been shaken, and I want you to know that it’s okay to have “off days,” the only thing is that you can’t stay in that negative funk forever. God has blessed us with the use of technology, and I thank God for that.
We are still able to stay connected with our loved ones and friends...and I know it’s not the same but, it sure is better than not seeing anyone at all. If you just think about it for a second, being at home has reconciled families to become “closer” and united again. Family members are learning to work through their differences and love one another wholeheartedly. More people have started eating at home more and have now sat together like the family that they are. Some people have learned to enjoy each and every moment because you don’t know how this life will play out. Lastly, the most important thing that I have seen through me and through others is that their relationship with God has strengthened or has become a part of their lives to pursue.
Through this, I’ve learned that God is the only person I can fall back on and have confidence that he will pull me through. God’s pointed out to me that my unwavering faith can be a stumbling rock in my walk with him. It’s hard to believe sometimes that God is going to have my back through everything. Still, in these times, I have noticed an abundance of God’s favor over my life because he has indeed shown me that he is continually going to come through. Sometimes I just need to let go of the things that I cannot control. God is showing us that through this whole pandemic he is still good, he is working in our lives and making everything whole again on the inside.
The little things that are essentially working together for God goodness are the things that he finds significant.
