Wow is life crazy right now. So, it's been longer than I wanted it to be. I had a podcast ready to post about insecurities, but the internet wasn't working, then it messed up, so I'm planning on just making a separate blog post about that topic. But today I wanted to write about the events happening in this world right now that I know no one wants to hear about, but trust me, you're gonna want to read this!
Everyone already knows about covid, which in my opinion does not deserve to have a capital c, and everyone knows why we have to wear masks and such. Basically, I'm not going to explain what happened to give me the idea to write this blog entry, but I am going to dive into what I wanted to write this about.
Everyone has different thoughts, ideas, and beliefs when it comes to the coronavirus. Some people absolutely despise it, some might not care, and some might actually care about staying safe and all that. In other words, this pandemic has affected everyone differently. Now, getting to the main topic...
TRUST. Yes, things are hard right now, but we have a choice to react negatively, or a choice to react positively. Whichever one you choose will probably end up affecting your mood and the way you act towards others.
It's really really really important to trust in God right now as everything that is happening in the world makes us unsure, or confused.
I remember the last day of middle school before spring break. I was super excited for spring break because it would be my birthday, and I was going to Lauren Daigle's concert, but I never would have thought that that day would be my last day of middle school. I remember learning we would have to stay home for the rest of the school year, and feeling so confused and sad and mad. All my emotions were everywhere. I didn't know how I should feel. I definitely do remember feeling sad though.
And throughout the whole summer I kept feeling sad about school, and then mad that this happened. I really didn't understand what was happening. I still don't really understand how this could have happened like this.
What I have been reminding myself for the past couple of months is to just trust in God through everything that is happening. I don't want to be afraid of the coronavirus because I know God has everything in His hands. You can choose to trust in God too, and not be afraid. I'm not saying stop wearing a mask, and cleaning your area, and being careful of germs. I'm just simply letting you know that you can place everything in God's hands. You don't have to be afraid. You don't have to be worried. You don't have to be scared of touching every single thing someone else has touched. While following the safety protocols, (even though they might seem stupid) you are still able to place everything in God's hands.
I choose to trust in God and place everything in His hands because I know He has a plan, and I know that He knows what He's doing. His plan is good. Right now, I feel very discouraged because I have to wear a mask everyday at school, and etc, but I trust God. I know everything is hard right now, but I also know that I don't have to be sad alone, and I don't have to feel discouraged alone. God is with me and you and everyone else in the world, and He knows. He knows what's happening right now, and what's going to happen tomorrow, and the next day, and the next. He knows what's going to happen already. So, that tells me He has a plan for the coronavirus. I don't know what His plan is, but I still choose to trust in Him through everything. Trust is basically my best friend because it's stuck by me this whole time, and so has God. (The coronavirus won't last forever.)
So, will you choose to be positive or negative? Will you choose to let God take the lead, and bring you through each and every day? You have a choice, so what will you choose? ~Ella
