Reset

Y'all - what a super weird season we are living in.  And there are so many emotions and worries and fears that seem to flood my heart and mind all day long.  I had time to talk to my counselor on Monday and one word she kept using was "reset" and that stuck with me.

Reset (verb) - to set, adjust, or fix in a new or different way

She and her family live in Europe, I was living in East Africa, but am temporarily back in the U.S. but this current pandemic is impacting the ENTIRE world.  She helped me process through the emotions of living a disrupted life right now.  We all are.  All of our schedules and routines have been greatly disrupted and some of us are coping with that better than others.  Some of us have embraced this slowed down, quiet season and others of us are climbing the walls.  Wherever you fall in that spectrum, first let me remind you that it is okay to feel however you feel.  None of us have ever done this before so we are just trying to figure things out one day at a time... one hour at a time.  And I have found that my emotions can change multiple times throughout the day - and that is okay.  

My counselor talked about how the world is being reset right now and it started me thinking about what the Lord wanted to reset in my life right now.  Remember 8,329 days ago when it was January 1st and we all had high hopes for 2020 and goals and plans for being intentional and driven this year - and then March came and hit the pause button on literally every single thing.  I took some time over the weekend to look back at my prayers and goals for this year and reset my focus on some things that I felt the Lord was calling me to be intentional with during this time.  I don't know what that might be for you - maybe it's something new you wanted to start this year, maybe it's a rhythm you wanted to put into place, maybe it's something you wanted to learn more about... whatever it is, maybe the Lord is also calling you to reset your focus or maybe in this season He has brought something else before you that He wants you to press into.  Do it.  Take one step today.  How great would it be if we came out on the other side of this with growth and depth in areas of our lives that need a reset.  

What is something the Lord is calling you to reset right now?
