For Real, Like What Is This?
What. Is. Happening?!
What. Is. Going. To. Happen?!
How. Long. Is. It. Going. To. Happen?!
These are questions that I'm pretty sure everyone is asking but guess what? No one knows the answers...well, we know it's COVID-19 but that's it. Another thing that I think we're doing is looking into the future a bit too much. This summer has been on my mind a lot lately and thoughts of "will I have a summer job? Will we be completely fine by then? If we're open but coronavirus is still around, what will I do?" Of which are legit questions and I think I've come to terms with the worse reality that I could have this summer, or for the most part. My mind went farther, "what if it lasts until the fall?". I began to think about how I'm once again going back to school. A new school in a different town, and really, it'll be a fresh start of college. Or will I? My mind went to a "what if" that's honestly probably not even a possibility so I reeled it back a bit. The worst that could happen is they'll offer more classes online, which would actually be great for me.
Afterwards, I remembered a devotion I read a few years ago that said, "In truth tomorrow will never arrive because when it comes it is no longer tomorrow. In one tick of the clock it has become today." Later it posed this thought, "Are you trading the rewarding moment of today for a fading picture of yesterday or the unpromised dream of tomorrow, perhaps to escape today's reality?" (Quotes from Fulfilled: devotions for single women.)
I find it so easy to think about the future instead of the present and I think it's even easier for people now with COVID-19. Is there anything that you've been putting off because you haven't had time? Maybe this, right now, is your chance to do those things. Maybe this is your chance to stop and breathe. Enjoy the present. Reel in your thoughts and don't worry about the future. Easier said than done, I know but we can at least try.
