COVID-19

I wasn’t gonna join the “corina virus hype” but here I am… saying something about it anyway.    

I’m not fearful but I’m concerned about COVID 19.    

I have an immune compromised child, I have a grandpa that’s up in his 90’s and I have a newborn grandchild that hasn’t had a chance to build an immune system yet.   Not to mention the rest of my loved ones I’m as equally concerned about.

BUT……

Faith and fear do NOT co-exist!    That’s such a powerful statement!

HEBREWS 11:1 

I fully know and believe that God is still working behind the scene.  

I choose to demonstrate faith and put it into action with much prayer.    I will NOT be fearful of the virus that is sweeping over the world.   

My faith is not in men but it’s in the full power of God.  

1 CORINTHIANS 2:5

God’s Word tells us that He does NOT Give the spirit of fear but of power, love, and sound mind.

2 TIMOTHY1:7

He tell us that no evil or plague will come near us.    I believe His promises through His word.   

PSALM 91:10  There shall NO evil befall thee, neither shall ANY PLAGUE come nigh thy dwelling. (KJV)

But God has also given us sense to demonstrate wisdom to protect most importantly our child that has a compromised immune system.   

I’m like a lot of others and I choose to laugh at some of the memes that are going around…I mean c’mon…they’re funny!   
The Bible tells us that a merry heart does good like medicine.     

PROVERBS 17:22

At the same time I’m cautious to take the necessary precautions so as not to expose my child to something that can potentially be EXTREMELY harmful to him.    The thought of him going through being so sick and the thought of me not getting to be with him if he’s hospitalized breaks my heart to the point that if I dwell on it then the devil can cause me anxiety, fear and panic.    I choose to do as God’s word instructs and cast down those imaginations and bring all my thoughts into the obedience of Christ.  

2 CORINTHIANS 10:5

I choose to show faith over fear and continue to pray PSALM 91 protection over my husband, kids, grandkids, myself and my entire family.    

I choose to prepare for what could be a long couple of weeks, months or whatever the time frame….but I prepare with the assurance of knowing that God is still in control!

That brings peace in this time of confusion and chaos.   

My heart is so deeply burdened for those that have to be quarantined.    My hearts been heavy for those that suffer from depression already and that being away from people and quarantined to one place has the potential to make their depression worse.    I pray that those people suffering are able to use this time of quarantine to dive into God’s Word especially when they’re feeling overwhelmed.    Remembering always how loved they are.    

This time isn’t easy, but we will get through and it will eventually be a vague memory.    In the meantime….  we are building our immune systems with all natural whole food products and Sambucal and we are keeping our son away from large crowds.    We are limiting our own contact the best we can and we are sanitizing and washing hands like crazy…. and we will continue to laugh at funny “COVID19” memes.   

Because we choose to demonstrate faith over fear.
