Quarantine Day 30ish

Today is April 6th!
I haven't worked since March 6th.
I was home with Wyatt from March 9th - 14th. He tested positive for Flu B.
March 16th-20th was our first e-learning week due to the lockdown.
March 23rd-27th was Spring Break. We had to cancel our trip to Ohio. We were going to the Ark and Creation Museusm. We stayed home. We did our usuals. We cleaned, ate, played outside, watched movies and youtube, had lots of church and worship and prayer time! My children have begun seeking the holy ghost!! Revival will break out in my home!! We did manage to get out and have a small picnic lunch at a nearby park (that wasn't closed yet...) and went for a walk.
Aside from being to a handful of stores; I have been home. I'm thankful to be home. I love being home! I really have not had any issue being home, aside from the occasional anxious waves of uncertainity of, "WHEN WILL THIS END!"
Our kids seem to be doing well really. They miss school, church and our family and friends, but they have each other and that keeps them busy and distracted! Samuel keeps asking when we go to church or see Mamaw and Papaw or Momma Jill. :(
Today makes 1 month of being quarantied basically. Sigh~
Many prayers for our country, covid victims and families, healthcare workers, schools and teachers!
Our school has been amazing! They have pick up breakfast and lunches daily for all 5 of my kids! Every teacher is working hard to provide e-learning lessons for my children! I'm so thankful for such a great school we have! I know it's hard on them and their families as well.
So...basically 30 days quarantiend.
My last church service I believe was...Sunday, March 15th! I miss my church and church family immensley! Like I said before, we are having church at home. I'm thankful so many are producing online services and sermons, BUT I miss my church!!
I haven't seen my Parents since....???? March 16th!? We usually have lunch togetehr every Saturday! It has been hard! We have started praying over the phone together each evening though! I've only seen my Momma once during all this, I believe. :( A good friend of mine had a new baby a week ago today!!! He may be sitting up before I get to meet him!! :(
I don't mean to make this a sad post, really. I'm just being real.

God is moving through all of this though! He is still in control and still sits on the throne!! He has allowed this virus to take our world by storm! Jesus is coming back soon and He is being merciful to us! He is allowing a shaking, an awakening for people to look up! To restore our faith and hope in God alone! I have always said God sometimes has to use drastic meassurews to get peoples attenttion! There are many souls to be won yet! The time is coming very soon though! No matter what storm comes our way though, it's for our testing of our faith. Rejoice in the testing! The fire brings forth purity and strenght and growth! We have to be tested! We have to grow! We have to rejoice in the pain! We have to rejoice in the uncertainty! So today, I may be sad. Today, I may be overwhelmed. Our govenor has placed the lockdown until May 3rd now.

Hopefully, this virus will leave and never return! Plead the blood over your house! Pray, repent, believe and be diligent to prayer! We must pray the hard prayers! We must pray that the Lord will use whatever it takes to save and deliver our families! There is nothing more important than making heaven!! We will spend ETERNITY somewhere and there are only 2 options. We must pray God's will. As much as I just hoped that this virus will leave and never return again, we must pray God's will. It's hard telling how many souls will be won through this outbreak and that will be worth it! I still have many loved ones who needs saving!! I'm so thankful he has sent a storm to shake us! He has given us another chance and day to return back to him! I'm thankful for the backslidders who are returning back to the Lord! I'm thankful for the revival that is breaking out in people's homes and in their own hearts and spirits!

I have always believed we will see some sort of tributlion in our lives. It makes sense that God would give us a reason to have to depend and rely on him. We have it too easy here!

Many will lose their faith in this battle. Many will return to the Lord. Many will be deceived. Pray and fast! Get a hold of God! Do whatever it takes to reach heaven! We can't be lukewarm! We have to be hot and on fire for the things of God; not of this world! I believe God is separating the wheat from the tares. The harvest is ready!!

What an exciting, uncertain and sometimes scary time that we live in! We are about to see and meet Jesus!!! Oh, what a glorious day that will be!! When my Jesus' face I shall see! Don't miss it!
