Disconnected

Happy April Family! There’s a saying “April showers bring May flowers” and boy has it been raining! It’s still raining COVID-19, quarantine, isolation, social distancing, curfews, and shut downs! But, I am believing in the May flowers! They will sprout in Jesus name! 🧡

I missed you all so much last week, but ya girl has been so disconnected. Over the last week I’ve felt myself disconnected from everything happening around me. I’ve kind of just been in my own zone of nothingness. Does this ever happen to you? Like, there’s nothing “wrong” per say, but you’re just not yourself. This is where life took me last week and I didn’t feel compelled to force myself out of it. Honestly, I was really just letting me be.

Allow me to explain a little more. I slept more than I worked out. I crafted only if I felt the urge to; I didn’t take any custom orders last week. I ate sandwiches and chips more than I probably should have (which is completely out of my norm), I wasn’t productive with my time outside of work and I binged watched way too much television (which is also abnormal). While I’m being honest, I can add that should’ve and could’ve prayed more and had more intimate time with God.

This week, however, I’m back to give you all what I’m carrying in my heart. Though I wouldn’t say I’m 100% back to myself, I am making a conscious effort this week to set my mind on the word and promises of God. Here’s my scripture of the week.

“My health may fail, and my spirit may grow weak, but God remains the strength of my heart; he is mine forever.” Psalms‬ ‭73:26‬ ‭NLT‬‬

No matter how disconnected I may feel from the world around me or how spiritually weak I believe I am, God remains the same through it all. He‘s consistent with his love, protection, guidance, favor, and grace. He continues to pour all that I need and that which I didn’t know I needed in my heart. There’s no doubt in my mind, that he’s with me in the midst of this nothingness I’ve felt. I also know that this too is building my character and overall creating a better me. Though I can’t see it now, because of my blurred vision, this too is working for my good. So, instead of criticizing myself, I’m going to accept what was and pray for a more connected and productive week.

Music has always been a big influence in my life, so I’d also like to share with you, my song of the week!
