Global Hiatus

“This is not a time for pleasure, but for prayer.” Charles Stanley

A surge of immobility,

A moment of rest,

A test,

Evidence, demonstration of the character already within.

Each of us, individuals and families together, are being shown the true person within; the state of discovering the results of panic,

the choices of unassigned time,

the realization of how much endurance, faith, and morality has been wrought over the years.

We are in a moment where we choose how to react. We choose how we spend time without dictated structure.

Why do we choose comfort over investment? We have been given the opportunity to rearrange the cornerstones of our lives:

our faith, our mental and physical beings, our relationships.

We finally have time without an agenda to become the people we want to be.

The human response is to dread the timing we can’t control; if we did not choose the hiatus, we do not desire it. That response is not using uncontrollable events to our advantage. We cannot choose external circumstances; we can only use them as a negative or positive influence over our lives.

What will you choose to do?
