Especially this verse she shared from the Message translation:
"And don't be wishing you were someplace else or with someone else. Where you are right now is God's place for you. Live and obey and love and believe right there. God, not your marital status, defines your life. Don't think I'm being harder on you than on the others. I give this same counsel in all the churches." - 1 Corinthians 7:17
That ties in perfectly with my word for 2020 - LIVE
I spend far too much time waiting around for the next thing in life. The weekend, my next trip, my own place, finally being in a relationship, etc.
This year, I plan on going to more concerts and events, going on more trips, and doing more spontaneous weekend day adventures,
Here's my reality now, though...
As I write this we are in the midst of a pandemic and are half a week into our 2 week minimum quarantine, so going on adventures is basically impossible right now.
But living isn't just have having great experiences. It's practicing practical and health self care, it's getting back to all of the creative things that I used to do and have left on the back burner for far too long, it's reigniting my relationship with God, and so many other simple things that I can put into practice while I'm stuck at home for 2 weeks (or more).
These next few weeks, and this year in general, and going to be interesting to say the least. I am goint. I am going to do my best to make the most of them. (Great time to write and have several posts ready to publish, right?)
Before I go, I'll leave this verse for you as comfort and a reminder that God's got us right here in the middle of all the crazy.
Philippians 4:6-7 - Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
Stay Safe,
- Tierra Rose
