Hello Friends!
I hope you are all doing well and are having a great start in the new year! I am on the mend right now, I tested positive for covid yesterday. So I am at home quarantining myself, resting, and making the most of this time. I will be honest, I was pretty upset when I found out that I had covid. I thought it was just a sinus infection because of the weather changing back and forth. I was coming home yesterday from the doctor asking God, "Why?" A couple of days ago, I kept reciting Psalm 23 over and over again. I kept thinking in the back of my mind, "Okay, Lord, what are You trying to tell me?" Well now I understand, He was letting me know that I was going to go through another tough time, but that He would be with me. Today I wanted to write about God being with us no matter what. So, without futher ado, let's begin!
As I said, I went to the doctor to see about this sinus infection and it turned out that I tested positive for covid. Now put all politics aside, this is the third time that I have had covid. Each time that I have had it has been different. The first time, I felt deathly ill, the second time I lost my taste and smell and I had some sinus issues, and now the third time, it feels like a full on sinus infection, I still have my taste and smell, praise the Lord! As I was sitting in the doctors office, the nurse came in to swabbed my nose for covid and flu. I had to wait thirty minutes to find out my results. As I was waiting, I was texting my family giving them an update and asking them to pray. I started praying as I was waiting and I told God no matter, I trust You. Little did I know that the test was going to come back positive.
The doctor came in and told me my results and my heart sank. I couldn't understand what was happening. I told her that I have been wearing my mask, I have had my vaccine, I had done it all. I couldn't understand why God was allowing this to happen to me again. Also, I am the type of person that doesn't get sick that often and I do not like being sick. I walked out of the doctors office disappointed and upset. I called my family and told them what happened and they reassured me that it was going to be okay. I on the other hand didn't understand why. That's when it hit me, I am not supposed to understand why, I am supposed to trust God no matter what. No, it doesn't seem fair or right, but He has been with through covid the last two times and He will see me through again.
No I do not like having to isolate myself from everyone, but what if it's God's way of seperating me to Himself. What if He wants me to be more focused on Him right now? What if He wants me all to Himself? Is that possible? With God, anything is possible. So, even though it looks like all is hopeless and lost, it isn't because this is part of God's plan even if I don't understand it. So I just want to encourage you that if you are going through something that doesn't make sense or that doesn't seem fair and you're wondering where God is? He is with you no matter what! He is with you through the storm, through the valley, through the darkest night. He is with you, If you feel hopeless and there seems to be no way out, He is the way! He is right beside you leading you out of whatever you are facing today. Be encouraged my friends! May the Lord bless you and keep you! Shalom, until next time!
