finding faith over fear

A New Year — 2020 Recap

Over the last few weeks I have tried to gather my thoughts on this year — 2020. It is hard to wrap my head around it all, the changes, the isolation, the fear and division we have seen, heard and experienced. Although we may have “been in this together” the effects of this pandemic have been drastically different for some more than others.

 

One thing I think we can agree on is that our new “normal” has been changed. From getting groceries, going to work, school, to how we interact with others. How we live our daily lives has changed, therefore our habits have changed — some good and some bad. I went back to a couple of my staple verses and reread my Faith over Fear blog (written ironically almost 6 months ago). It was a great reminder — from myself — of our role in all of this and the truth we stand on.

2020 recap
Feb 2020 – That time the girls actually went out to dinner for my birthday and joked we should probably celebrate all our birthdays because it takes months of planning — jokes on us!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

That time I started a blog!

 

 

 

 

That time we camped in the back yard in the middle of patio construction.

 

 

 

That time I discovered “quarantine coffee”

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

That time we were able to be with our loved ones

 

As we move forward into a new year, my hope and prayer is that we look for the good, that we be the good, and learn to love and listen better. To reset our expectations, live in the moment more, count our blessings, and let your faith be bigger than your fear. So here’s to having faith by remembering. Remembering what God has brought us through and that He’s not finished yet.

 

Happy New Year!
