We had no explanation for “why” this was happening, and we didn’t know “when” it would end. Even if we had the answers to those questions, I don’t know that they would suffice. The answers would only bring a temporary and false peace for the time. We’ve had to choose to move beyond the “why” and “when” questions, and ask the important question: How will we choose to deal with this uncertainty?
It’s easy for anyone to get sucked into feeling lonely or depressed when messages of “social distancing” and “go home” are constantly bombarding us. I’ve felt my own emotions fluctuate drastically from day to day and moment to moment. It’s strange, and yet it’s all so real.

It’s okay that everything isn’t “okay” in this season of life.
It’s okay to not have all the answers.
It’s okay to rest.
It’s okay to reset even if that’s not what
everyone else is doing.
Truth is slowly being revealed through all of
this change.
