An April Of Uncertainty

The question marks are not because I'm not sure if it's April or not, but because I have NO IDEA what will happen this month. In a normal year, baseball season is just getting started, it's almost Easter (which is my favorite holiday!), and outdoor things are happening. I would probably have some kinds of things planned with friends. My Nebraska friends were supposed to come out the week after Easter. None of the normal things are happening this year and neither are the things I did have planned. So what will happen in April?

Well, taxes are still due :) But seriously, it still is spring. Flowers will bloom, trees will get their leaves, the weather will get warmer. Easter will still happen, just in a MUCH different way. Jesus is still alive, whether we celebrate like normal or not. People will still have birthdays and it will still rain (it is spring, after all). I will still have meetings with my two groups of girls (just over video and not in person). I will still have my young adult group, though in a very different, isolated form. I'll be talking to friends over video, playing games with them and my family, reading books, and watching movies. All the while, hoping that this is over very, very soon and hoping that we don't lose anything more.

The biggest thing that I do every April I can still do - spring clean my room! I actually really enjoy doing it. As soon as I can have my window open, I'll get started on it. I do it over the course of about three days, so that I can still sleep and move around while cleaning. Quarantine doesn't change cleaning plans :)

I don't have a lot to offer. I can't make plans any more than the next person. I can only live day by day, hoping and praying to soon see the light at the end of the tunnel. We're a little over one week into our three-week quarantine here in Michigan. Maybe we'll have some more answers by the end of it.
