Thirty Days Faithful during COVID-19 (ePub)

This little compilation of devotions was gathered from various journal entries that I kept as I cared for my husband during the long year of sheltering in place. I kept a copious diary growing up and took a few writing classes in my role of educator. One good thing about the pandemic is that it has afforded all of us more time to do things, like journal. So reacting to God's Word on paper was a natural fit for me during the last year. Sharing the many challenging experiences I have faced with others seamlessly followed. How often have I heard, "It's not what happens to you. It's how you deal with it."I am a firm believer if one takes this newfound, precious extra time that the quarantine has showed us to work on our relationship with our heavenly Father, then the work we face outside our bubbles and the stress it brings will be handled by an army of God, all dressed in His glorious armor! It was my desire that these devotions inspire you to put one foot in front of the other when you may feel the need to stop, sit, and sob, like I have wanted to do so many times.Walking on instead of stopping and giving up takes a heck of a lot of courage; as a matter of fact, when I reread some of these devotions, they sounded a little too easy to accomplish! And I think I know why! It is because God is fully on my side. He lives in my heart. The most important thing for you to remember is that your Father in heaven is waiting for you, and He is watching for you to call on Him at any time of any day. That, coupled with a family of faith, is just about all you need in the months and years to come.
