Perspective

At the beginning of this year I, as many of us do, had this great plan of doing things differently. I mean, it’s the year 2020, and I am suppose to see things clearly, right? Well, maybe I am not too far off. It’s all about your perspective.

In January I had all the plans of what I wanted to accomplish this year: blog at least twice a month, declutter my house, spring clean, start grad school, help my grandson with his school work, pray and fast more for my husband and children, and step up my fitness routine. That all sounds great, right?

Since January, my mom was diagnosed with cancer. Her surgery was set for the day after her 70th birthday. I tested positive for the flu the day before and was not able to go back with her before and after her surgery. The lumpectomy was successful, thank you Jesus, and she is going through radiation right now. Shortly after her surgery, we were hit with a pandemic. Schools shut down, and people were forced to work from home. I was feeling overwhelmed. Cooking 3 meals a day, homeschooling my grandboys, trying to keep my house disinfected, and staying on top of my coursework. I felt like my mental state was deteriorating.

During this time, we have been able to spend quality time together. We got some decluttering done, my grandchildren are healthy and safe and received some one on one instruction from me, finished my course with an A, and I have been able to exercise with my husband.

God will answer our prayers in His own way. It may not be the way you expected, but it is the way He wants you to have it. It’s all about our perspective.
