Lockdown 27

Lockdown Day 27 - 22 April 2020

Today started with a completely unfounded "woe is me" feeling. Nothing happened or upset me. I just felt that way. "It could be an unexpected hormone change," my inner scientist speculated, adding, "or maybe the brain got too little oxygen." 

It took a stretching session, 2 cups of green tea with orange and ginger and a rehydrating therapy session in the shower for my spirit to come to the party, "Look outside and see how the sun comes up everyday." That was it. The sameness of everything. I needed to change the way I was looking at it.  Finding stability in everyday things is what makes it easy to continue. These are the miracles. Waking up, opening my eyes, I can see, feel , hear, taste and touch. Choosing to appreciate the mundane and seeing the extraordinary in the ordinary things of life. I am once again reminded of that ancient proverb that says, "Chop wood, carry water, walk the earth." 

Stay real in an unreal world. And how unreal it is. The only real and constant in the world is One who has the earth firmly in the palm of His hand. Who has entrusted us with incredible design and ability to keep going no matter what. In the words of Hebrews 13:8, who is "eternally changeless, always the same yesterday and today and forever." 

God, the omnipotent and omniscient trinity, is always the same! Therein lies my peace tonight. And of course He's GOT THIS!
