The April Fool
I wish it were all a joke, but reality is sinking in. All I did was eat, drink, sleep, play video games, and entertain the dogs. I attempted to clean my room then proceeded directly to my slowly growing Animal Crossing addiction. It's alright though there's a pandemic going on in the world. Where fear, darkness and chaos seems to be ruling over people's hearts. On the b-side there are people holding hands and praying over the neighborhood.
We are afraid of becoming sick with a strand of flu that is invisible to the naked eye. "Only by God's grace will we protected". Amen to that brother. Yeah, right now business operations aren't normal. So when this thing blows over you will feel the rush. "I don't think this virus will be ending anytime soon". I'm grateful for my health. Thankful that we are fully staffed and the company is responding quickly to protect the workers. God bless the advancement in technology to hold video conferences and basically affirm the gamer lifestyle. Companies are now taking a look at e-sports like it's an art piece. Why it's important is because lots of commerce is shut down abruptly.
If you believe in prayer that's the best you should do. Pray over everything. Pray that our light shines brighter then this darkness. Pray for unity, power and protection against the evil. Also spread love over the mounting pressure of hate and dislike. Stand up linked together for righteous things. I wish it was all a joke right now, but reality is sinking in.
This situation may reoccur and government's are "stepping in to help" and "government's are reporting it all".
I'm doing my best to bite my tongue. Not to lash out of my ignorance. Doing my best to keep my ecchi thoughts too myself. Sexualizing things seemed to have become the norm. My mind cannot stop thinking of others safety. And how much I miss church even though my interactions are already minimal. This stress test is showing how people operate when pulled from two sides. I'm probably going to break character soon if it keeps up any longer. Only time will tell. Only God can prevail. Is it the end of the world? I've been preparing this thought since 2004 when I started going to college. Was never good at being a Christian. Always something brought me back to this foundation.
With the connections I have and confirmations from strangers. It feels as if Jesus is saying come take comfort in me for my yolk is light. Also, call upon my name with a faith of a mustard seed and it can move mountains. As everyone waited for that last season of Game of Thrones. I believe deep down in my numbed heart we are reaching a final call to the finish line. As with life I have pulled through when it counts.
I think I understand my role here. It is to grab my partner and lead the light.
