Now there is this pandemic panic. It spread like wild fire around the Globe. People are losing jobs, businesses are closing for good, store shelves are empty and we are only one week into this mess. The disease has been around for months but this panic is new and spread World wide. Fanned by fires of politics and greed. Track who is making money over this and what governments are taking control over their people.
Where is hope in all this mess? For me, I pray. I feel Christ peace. However, I know that not everyone feels this way. At a church gathering I shared an experience of feeling Heavenly Father's love and profound feeling of love from my Savior. During my speech a woman got up and left because the God she knows is a vengeful God and she does not feel any peace.
Where is hope? I discovered that within me is an invincible summer. I had a poster with part of this quote on my wall in high school.
“In the midst of winter, I found there was, within me, an invincible summer. And that makes me happy. For it says that no matter how hard the world pushes against me, within me, there’s something stronger – something better, pushing right back.” ― Albert Camus
Where is hope? My counselor helped me draw back the curtains that hid my childhood memories. They are horrific. I trembled, shook, and cried. On some of my worse sessions, my therapist gently reminded me, "You already survived this, you will survive remembering it, too."
Our hope is within ourselves. We lived through hard things. We will survive this too. I face this fear calmly and plan to spend my time at home to do things I haven't had time to do. My projects will last for months. We will survive.
