This virus has taken our lives and turned them upside down. The mood of the day depends on which news outlet or social media platform you happen to visit. The biggest adjustment for me has been the isolation side of it. My routines that I took for granted such as, coffee with a friend, church or just a basic trip to the grocery store all look different now.
What is the big picture in all of this chaos? What are we supposed to walk away with? I really don’t want my time in quarantine to be wasted filling my days with Netflix, Hulu, or CNN. The other side of this event has to hold something bigger, right?

I strongly believe God is re-routing our lives so that we have no choice but to stop and think beyond ourselves. Wouldn’t it be a great testimony if we walked away from this pandemic with a story to tell future generations about how God showed up in the midst of this horrific situation?

- I will make a way for you
