Quarantine

This is one word that most people do not like to hear. Simply because it is associated with Covid which has changed the world. Quarantine has become a new normal for the world.

Quarantine for me is a challenge. My nickname is “Busy Bee” I don’t like to sit down. Being busy is a part of who I am. Work has always been my escape from reality. I work to keep myself busy. Working helps me avoid dealing with me. It keeps my mind off my issues. I stay busy solving a companies problems instead of my own.

I have dealt with Covid twice. Once while I was pregnant and recently my household was impacted by it. Of course after receiving the news we were told to quarantine. I was not excited either time.

During my most recent quarantine I had to tend to my son. This was a challenge because I am a new mother. I learned a lot about him and myself. It kept me busy in a different way. I was fulfilled in so many ways.

During this time I decided not to pout. I took this quarantine period as an opportunity. I spent a lot of time with God and my family. I was led to relaunch this Blog and plan for so much more. My purpose came alive again!

Psalms 91 was a guide for me during this time. I was able to rest knowing that we would get through this. Psalm 91 is a must read! It was also one of my Grandma’s favorites!

I am a firm believer that everything happens for a reason. So if you and your family are under quarantine right now I encourage you to use your isolation time to find you again. Spend time with God. Try doing something that you put down and you know you are supposed to do it again. Breathe again! Live again! Thrive again! Be strong again! Don’t leave your quarantine the same way you went in it!
