Yesterday, I went out to one of the big box stores for household items. I am not sure if it was the stress of trying to function in a pandemic with a public without masks, the shopping crowd, or the complications of going out with a disability, but I was overcome with stress! Although the country recently marked over 1 million deaths due to COVID, we must trust God completely! All of my fears and challenges are real, but I must combat your fears with faith. Otherwise, fears will stop us from living your blessed life! I can’t stay home because I need to interact with my family, friends, the public, and I also made a commitment to God that whatsoever state I am, I will teach, preach, and share the good news of our Savior! I must walk it out! In order for us to walk out of our situations, we must stay focused on God, not live in fear, and know that God is faithful!
The following scriptures will help you to walk it out! According to Jeremiah 7:23, but I gave them this command. Obey me, and I will be your God and you will be my people. Walk in obedience to all I command you, that it may go well with you. II Corinthians 5:7, For we walk by faith, not by sight. Colossians 1:10, so that you may live a life worthy of the Lord and please him in every way: bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God.
As previously stated, I was so distracted by my physical walk that I almost missed the joy of enjoying the present! Therefore, please don’t allow any obstacle to prevent you from walking with the Lord and enjoying life. One thing that we have learned during this pandemic, we can’t take a day for granted. I am blessed to have a wonderful support system (thank you Larry for getting me out!). I found a great parking space and an electronic scooter. I can walk this out! As a colleague often quotes her mom, “it's as simple as that!” You can walk out your situation, no matter how hard, if you trust in the Lord!
Thank you for your love and continued support! I am so thankful for each of you in joining me on this journey to re-imagine contentment in 2022!
Always look for the Remarkable in your life!
Dr. ReShone
