These last few weeks have been quite difficult. I never would have dreamt the world would be in this situation. I remember where I was one year ago and it was in a completely different frame of mind and stage of life.

My sisters and I were having a lovely weekend. We took some time to relax and enjoy our friendships. We spent quite a bit of time crafting, shopping and just laughing together.

Oh how I wish we were doing that this year too. My birthday is on Saturday and last year we were celebrating, but this year it will be very low key and sedate. But I have come to the conclusion that this is the time that I must take refuge. I must take refuge in my God and in how He takes care of me. I know that I cannot change the circumstances of this world and where we are now, but I can rest in the fact that God is in control.

I can take rest in His strength in this time of trouble. As Psalm 46 says. I can be still and know that He is God. He will be exulted among the nations. I am excited to see how God will work in this time of turmoil and uncertainty.
