What the virus did...

Awhile ago, i had many people telling me how lucky i was to be in Switzerland during the Coronavirus outbreak in SG... Now, the tables have turned... We are far from home, in a place where the upper management of the pandemic is questionable. This week, i was hit again and again with little waves of panic and fear. Many mummy friends texting me, each one slowly withdrawing their kids from school, panic buying, talking of returning home and leaving their spouses behind... It felt like one of those zombie apocalypse. I found myself distracted with the same worries and fears. I was worried we did not have masks or sanitizers, worried about racialism, etc.. I was even thinking about buying a second freezer to stock up food. This time, i really had to strengthen myself in the Lord!!

One of my devotional readings this week talked about Zechariah and Elizabeth. What really encouraged me was this, "When we pray, God hears more than we say, answers more than we ask, gives more than we imagine - in His own time and way." I need to pray with ceasing (1 Thess 5:17). It may be a good thing i have no sanitizer or extra fridge, then i won't rely on it to keep me safe. Now, i only have God.

Last weekend we took off on a short trip for the weekend to tick of one of our "to-do travelling" list. The virus had reached here but we went ahead anyways because we had already booked our stay and train tickets etc. God has been so good in keeping us safe. We had so much fun, made memories together and got back in a piece. Few days after we returned, the attractions we went to all closed down due to the pandemic. We may not be able to finish our list due to the pandemic. However, this latest trip will remain a testimony of God's grace to me. 🌈
