Summary
THE WORD THIS WEEK IS: closer.
I know that might seem conflicting due to the circumstances we’re currently in with a nationwide 15-day quarantine over COVID-19 while learning the art of the new collective norm of social distancing -- but there’s some irony in all of this. Although we are social distancing in some aspects of our daily life, we’re also given the opportunity, right now, to become closer in others.
This week we break down some ways to grow closer during the push for distance.
So take a break, be still…& know that this too shall pass.
You are loved my friend. Go rise up. || xxE

| 0:06.7 | I pray that you're seeing God move and work in your life as you give gratitude and praise for the day that you're in, especially during these crazy times. |
| 0:14.9 | And if you're feeling like the world is crumbling around you, you're not alone. |
| 0:18.9 | Take a deep breath and let's unpack the word for the week together |
| 0:22.0 | as we jump into the good news. The word for this week is closer. I know that might seem conflicting |
| 0:28.0 | due to the circumstances we're currently in with a nationwide 15-day quarantine while learning |
| 0:33.1 | the art of the new collective norm of social distancing. but there's some irony in all of this. |
| 0:40.0 | Although we are social distancing in some aspects of our daily life, we're also given the |
| 0:44.8 | opportunity right now to become closer in others. Nothing on this earth lasts forever. |
| 0:50.2 | We all know that, not the coronavirus, not your earthly circumstances, not your stresses, |
| 0:55.5 | your school loans, your job, not even your time with your loved ones. |
| 0:59.3 | We sometimes have this exchange where we think that the word lifetime and the word forever |
| 1:03.5 | are interchangeable, and they're not. |
| 1:06.0 | There's a temporary nature and ephemerality when it comes to the human condition. But as I just keep watching these |
| 1:13.3 | mass media news stories from all over the world, mixed in with the conspiracy theories on |
| 1:18.3 | Instagram posts and the drastic economy pendulum swings, I cannot help but think to myself, |
| 1:23.9 | this too shall pass. It even just feels comforting, like a big hug even just saying that, this too shall pass. Although even just feels comforting like a big hug even just saying that, |
| 1:29.1 | this two shall pass. Although there isn't a specific verse in the Bible that says this two shall pass, |
