I have been in quarantine for a whole month and already so much has happened that I can’t help but be grateful for.

I don’t think I have ever felt this productive in a while. 

I am in the last inning before I am all done with my Bachelor’s. One month to go.  The days are going by so much faster than I anticipated. Each day is filled with so many tasks.

I am so grateful for leaders who have pushed me in my current ministry. So I am currently working on prioritizing “non-negotiables” and managing my time better.

Today, as tough as it was mentally, was one of my favorite days in quarantine.

I was serving for church all day long. Somehow i had time to have my morning devotionals. I had time for breakfast. I had time to lead my Bible study. I was able to do homework. I had lunch. I got ahead with some projects while serving. Then I worked out with some friends.

I am writing this because I had a bit to reflect on the good of today before jumping on a conference call. When that was over, I had some personal time with the Word and worship. 

Here I am, writing about my day.

Today, I was reminded of my why. In the midst of feeling hurt and heartbroken, I found joy. I found peace. I found contentment. I am so content with where I am.

As my church held baptisms in the comfort of our homes, I watched lives of all ages be transformed. I get to be at the forefront to display the Lord’s work for the world to see. I get to serve the Lord in every capacity.

This season has me growing and stretching in my task management. My days are filled with tons of responsibilities. From doing schoolwork, helping my dad with work, cooking (I’ve learned to cook so much!!), cleaning, hosting a Bible study, having team meetings, going to therapy, serving the church throughout the week, and somehow finding ways to take care of myself physically and spiritually.

God and I are currently working on my emotional health because that got shaken up this week (a story for another time).

Regardless, I know and trust I am becoming the woman God has called me to be. I got a vision of her and now I am watching her unfold before my own eyes.

If I place myself outside of my body, I can tell you without a shadow of a doubt that God is real. God is good. God is working. 

I have come so far in less than a year. My therapist was so right when he said God is putting me on the fast train. 

Let’s see where this goes… !
