How have things changed for you since lockdown started in July (and church went back to online)?
Strangely, I’ve been reading a lot more books and have gotten into different types of arts and crafts!
How are you feeling about all the uncertainty? What are you most worried about?
I feel frustrated and helpless with all the uncertainty around these days. I mostly feel anxious about all the opportunities I’m missing out on, like placement, campus life, and going travelling with my friends.
How has God been encouraging you?
God has really shown me His complete sovereignty and control through these lockdowns. He has encouraged me to not hold on so tight to worldly commitments, but to look forward to the heavenly promise of a new creation.
How could our church be caring for you? Eg. Prayer, someone to chat with, financial help, groceries, a zoom dinner date, someone to play games with…
Pray for my frustration and anger with this whole situation. While I still hold tight to the truth of God’s control, I occasionally lose sight of the things God has given me and only see what He has taken away.
What are you looking forward to once restrictions ease?
I’m very excited to see my family and friends! I miss playing with my nieces and seeing my grandma. I’m also looking forward to my Melbourne trip which had to get pushed back due to lockdown.
