Lockdown 177

Lockdown Day 177 - 19 September 2020

Life in Level 1 is much debated since Mr. Prez has spoken. Especially since it looks like we're heading for round number 2 in Europe. Many countries are reporting higher infection rates than in April and have closed their borders once again. 

With our Level 1 starting on Monday the 21st of September, we all feel a cautious sense of relief. But again, it comes with a stern warning: the virus is still real and active and very much present. 

I frequently find myself in a conundrum-like position, like being in a check-mate position without losing or winning... just a blah place to be.

Today, a friend said an interesting thing : we couldn't find anything really special about this year we could be excited about. They were to be married the day after lockdown started and were horribly disappointed.  

And another friend remarked how we just keep reigning in  our thoughts, expectations and dreams  for fear of being disappointed yet again. 

Walking the Proverbs 3 road is proving to be the solution to my conundrum, my win-win out of check mate. I have started to recite it daily and have suddenly realised that I can release literally everything from my control into God's hand. 

The relief I felt was inexplicable and earth shattering deep into my spirit. For the first time in a long time I know for sure God has my dreams in the palm of His hand, waiting to move with provision way above what I could even imagine. 

So tonight I offer up praise to a praiseworthy God, a shout out from the rooftops for all who need to know they are allowed to let go, and let God.
