Breathe….

By Jill Rogers

I remember the day well that the reality hit me. I heard on a private Facebook post that a conference with 4000 people had been cancelled. I instantly realized this was a big deal. I instantly thought, “My thirteen year old granddaughter is not going to be able to fly to the other side of the nation right now!”

I remember voicing that to different people and sounding crazy, but I knew that I knew…this was BIG. I had to wait…I had to let the process hit other people the way that it had to hit me. I needed to pray and let go!

Something that I have learned is that I cannot control things. I have to trust my Father, that is Large and in charge of it all. As the days went by that week, more and more happened, and finally at the end of the week hardly anyone was flying and she stayed home.

We really have to hold onto everything with open hands! Even now as we are about six weeks into this thing, every time that our lockdown gets extended and every time that we hear the numbers, I have to stop and think, “What are we heading into?”

I’ve seen this so many times in my life that everything has to just blowup in order to fall into place. Change was definitely needed in our world, I knew it, you probably knew it… but sometimes it has to get messy before it can change!

That’s where we are today in the messy! We will get to the other side of this thing! I know that we will! We just have to focus on just one day at a time and see what we have to do that day! I joined an online Bible study called Be Still, that just happened to come across my path by some “coincidence.” This will be once a week through May.

We just have to readjust, think of the good things about these times of not being so busy. Pray for the people that are ill and their families, and I am so sorry if one of your loved ones or someone that you know has been affected by this dreadful illness.

Keep our eyes on the Father, stay focused on our dreams, and Breathe! One thing that we will always have on this earth is death and trials. No way around it, we just have to learn to trust our Father, know that He knows best, and take every thought captive that would tear us down! It’s a battle but we can do it!

If you need any help or need someone to talk to please get ahold of me!

We really are in this together!

No time to give up now!

Keep on believing!

Keep pressing onto your destiny!

He makes a way where there is no way!

You got this!❣️
