Hello Beloved,
I pray you are doing well and staying safe. My inquiry today is stepping back out into the crowd. The world is opening up quickly and constant changes are happening all around. I must be honest, I am still watching where I go. I still have concerns with large crowds and the cessation on mask wearing. The honor system is great. However, my concern is those who oppose the vaccine and refuse to be vaccinated, will they practice covid-19 safety? Well, things must go on and we will need to trust each other. Stay in prayer and trust that God is with us. God always has us in the care of his loving hands.
How are you handling your time at home? If you have been out and about since last June, how are you handling things now? I have toiled with the decision of moving and traveling with on the major transportation modes. I am not afraid, but I do question the sanitary aspect and what others are doing around me. I realized that I had become very comfortable, so much that it took me a minute to get use to wearing a full outfit, dealing with multiple people talking out loud, and walking in real shoes every day for 4 ½ weeks straight. I was pitiful, fidgeting and feeling overdressed was the worst. I had to laugh at myself. One afternoon I had some downtime between appointments and I recalled a few things I often said and was taught. Listen—if the Lord leads me to be still, then I must wait. But in the meantime I will trust and obey the guidance of the Lord. I have been slow to go and it has been heavy on my heart, so I shall go. At this moment I will go with great expectations. I have a few commitments and I will be traveling out of state twice next month. It is time to get to work on some new endeavors and get back to community work. The readiness of my spirit has been overwhelming and things are going well. Thank the Lord for his peace and assurance, all is well.
Our way of living is one of originality each day, there is no “new normal” but a newness each day. We must look upon each day as a great gift and with that gift how to use it carefully. It has been a challenge to be homebound and I am so over it. However, there have been some positive moments that have occurred while being on an extended staycation. It has been wonderful spending more time in fellowship and worship with the Lord. Leaving out my feelings and planned possibilities but going completely with the leading of the spirit and confidence in every promise guaranteed for me. Stay the course and listen for your call to go—God doesn’t make mistakes and does not fail. Stay in tune with the master and His plan, in due time it will manifest—go forward in motion on time. Pray and fast to discern when it is your time to take the next move. God’s time and opportunity with His promise will always bring success. Remember we all have purpose that is interconnected with others and your next move may not be with/during my time or your friends but at your designated time purposely. I encourage you to continue the mission and work until you hear the Father’s voice to do differently. God bless you.
