Life has flown by, I can’t believe it’s already 2022. I haven’t been very good at keeping up my blog. Let’s see if I can do better now.
2020, went by in a blur, with the Covid -19 virus, killing so many people and leaving scores of others with long lasting health issues. We stayed home, as much as possible, wore 😷, wherever we went. All the regular family traditions were spent alone, in our individual homes, Thanksgiving and Christmas, the family did not get together, but as we each had our meals and opened presents, we joined in ZOOM, so even though we were all in separate houses, we were together via technology. I’m so grateful for technology that provided a way for us to kind of be together.
The sunday after Thanksgiving, I was released from serving in the YW, in my church. It was an extremely hard time for me, there were some very hurtful things that happened, some betrayal etc. I was very grateful to not be able to go to church in person, because of Covid-19. I struggled a lot all of 2021, went down a dark “rabbit hole”. It took me a long time to be able to talk to our Bishop, and to trust several people, I still have trust issues with them.
Looking back now, I have been able to see the Lords hand in those dark days. He never left my side, and although I kind of forgot Him for a short period of that time, He never forgot me I have realized He is who got me through that hard year. He usually did it through other people, who knew what had happened and how I’d been treated and loved me and helped me come out of those dark days. I’m so grateful the Lord put them in my path. I love Him, and I know He loves me. It was also a learning time, learning to forgive and let go of hurts. Learning to see my own sins, and repent and humble myself. Dad died also in January of 2021. I am grateful for the lessons I learned, for the hand of the Lord, for the people that were His hands.
Now on to 2022………………
