Everything we see, touch, feel, smell, wonder, enjoy, soak up, marvel etc… was and is built on time. Now and days it seems like time has slowed us down. The whole world was going so fast then I guess God said “Slow down” then we slowed down. I always thought time was against me or I was trying to catch up with time, but time wanted to me to just be with me. Can I go as far as too relate time to God? Well God did make everything including time so that previous sentence would suffice as this. I was trying to catch up with God but God just wanted to be with me and so it was. I believe God has a message for each person at this moment in time. Is it scary? Yes. Is it confusing? Yes. Is it boring? I’ve learned well it’s up to you. You see before this virus I was working as a waiter that was my survival job. But my real job and passion is that I’m an actress and singer. So, I was suddenly halted in my boots of suspension like millions of Americans due to the fear of this virus. So here I am writing to you about what God has given me through this time. Somethings are uncertain but there’s one that is certain and will never fall away and that one is Jesus. He says, “For I know the plans I have for you. Plans not to harm you but to give you and hope and a future” (Jeremiah 29:11). So, if you are a child of God. He won’t just sit by and watch you drift away and leave you. No. He knows that time and seasons which He created has its purpose and there is purpose for you in every season. He tells us this is not the end. It’s just a matter of time. This is too will pass. There is light at the end of this tunnel. He is the God of hills and valleys. We must trust in Him in all things even the bad, rough and don’t know where to turn times. But when you’re down there is the only is up. Look up for where does our help come from? Jesus. He wants us to be with Him to include in our daily lives that we’ve forsaken Him in. We must ask for forgiveness and include Him. We just never know what He is up too in this season. I know for me redirection. A reset. My passions. My gifts. Also new beginnings have been birthed in this odd season and I’ve come to like it. Now I am a self-published author of my first book called My Hephzibah “God’s Delight Is In Her” and blogger of faith, life and love. He’s given me hope and a future just like He promised. This reset has refreshed in what I was made to do …. not just being a waitress even it does pay the bills. God says “to everything there is a season” Ecclesiastes 3:1. Can we trust that God makes all things work together for our good for those love and obey Him? Can we trust that He is our hope and times of uncertainty and delay? Can we trust that He has our future in His beautiful yet mighty hands? Yes. For me yes. How about you? He loves and cares for you. Spend this time as He slowed all the world down. He wants to speak. What’s He saying? I know it’s something good!
Love always
