Day to Day

Over the last week I have had a familiar feeling, the emotions of taking it day by day; the feeling of being mentally tired. 10 months ago, Adam had to stop working because he was in the midst of a mental breakdown. OUR world shut down. Summer break was about to start for my girls and I didn't know what was coming next for us. I wanted to keep things normal for them but yet handle what emotions came with how my husband was feeling that very day. We had no choice but to get through it hour by hour, day by day. Our church leadership sat with us to help us think through what this time would look like for us, served us in ways we will forever be thankful for. I had friends ask me what I needed and because I was so overwhelmed I couldn't think past that very moment, sitting in chick-fil-a while our kids played.  I distanced myself from many people because my husband and girls needed me. I needed to draw close to my solid source of strength, Jesus. The only thing I was sure of, was that God was going to show himself through all that.

Now here we are, in the midst of COVID-19. Taking it day by day, my husband in a MUCH better place mentally, still able to work through all this. My girls on spring break, but we have been able to still have fun. Our beautiful church body continues to reach out and serve in any way needed.  I am socially distant but not emotionally. My wonderful friends are reaching out, and I am not overwhelmed by that. The comforting thing is that I am not alone in all this. You are not alone. People all over the country and world are taking it day by day. I can't promise you tomorrow, I wish I could. But I can promise you that God is good regardless of all this fallen world throws at us. 

You will be stronger because of this.
