Three years ago, you end up finding one of the best mission trips you could ever find. You realize that your a little too young to go on it, but it is amazing. SO you decide to start prepping for the opportunity to go. You begin planning everything around this trip because the trip will be eleven months long. So there are some metal, spiritual, physical preparations you have to do.

     Three years go by really fast, you’re now only a semester away from finally reaching your goal; matter of fact you’ve raised the majority of the money to go. You also take your last seven classes for college just so you can actually go on this trip. Then a magic disease goes worldwide, shutting things down. 

     You still have some hope though because your trip isn’t happening for a while, you still have about five months. So you just have to stick it through. Then you receive the email that you’ve been dreading. You’re notified that your trip is canceled and will be moved back. So you have some more hope, maybe if you just wait for the allotted time that they have given you, you’ll finally go. The time is getting closer and closer, and no negative emails have arrived. Then two months before going, you’re notified that it’s been moved back again, now you aren’t leaving until January.

I would ask what you would do in this scenario, but I merely described what I went through; if you would like to answer that question though, you may. So how is Covid both positive and negative? Well, Covid hasn’t removed God from His throne, as a matter of fact, it has only shown how much power He does have. 

     He is so powerful that he chooses to use the terrible nature of Covid to grow and strengthen His church. I was specifically strengthened and grew in amazing ways; ways that I never imagined would happen. When I was pushback, I learned to depend on him; when I began doubting, He reassured me; when I stressed, He reminded me of His sovereignty. Through all that is happening He has and is and will always be Good. This doesn’t mean that situations still don’t suck, but we just have a God that loves to take broken things and make them new. I pray that everyone can see His goodness and sovereignty.
