Resources in the midst of chaos

The weather is starting to drop and chaos seems to be rising. In the midst of what society is putting a perpetual chaos storm, finding peace seems impossible.

No matter what is going on in your life, you are going to have to find or create peace, before life forces you to sit down and do it.

How do we do this? Well, I am not someone that has mastered peace, but I have had to learn to find and create peace over and over after crazy changes. In this

"I don't have time for it"

Listen, we all have something going on. Some of our schedules are more busy than others. Sometimes it is about reprioritizing, cutting things out or outsourcing what you can. Making time to excerceise and pray are two of the most important things. These are things that usually get pushed back. Start off with 10 minutes. Put a timer and your phone on do not disturb. Take 5 intentional minutes to pray/read your Bible and then 5 minutes in nature. It can feel really difficult at first. Especially, if you have a super cluttered mind Like I do. What I tend to do is put valming nature-instrumental videos to have in the background. Or i directly watch them if I need some nature, but the weather is not great/safe out. Here is the playlist I created. Creating a few minutes a day and increaing it as time goes on, is like building a muscle. It'll get easier over time. Now I do not spend a day without going outside.

I have too much going on I do not know where to start

One of the other organizations I am a part of has put together a resource list. This is related to home, food, life, and other resources. These resources aare to help you through tough times and / or get advice on how to work through them. Especially with so many changes in support, we all need to come together as a community and show each other how to thrive. Resource List.

What are you listening to and watching?

With access to so many things it can be a bit of a merry go round. At first it feels fun and freeing and then you feel sick to your stomach with all the sensations happen simultaneously. The music, the shows, the podcasts, conversations.... all of it. I have created 4 options for you to enjoy when you want to watch

first is the show The Chosen. It is the story of the Bible in tv format. It is a wonderful poduction!

***a reminder that these are sermons + songs that I have watched at some point in my journey that I enjoyed at one point or another. Churches, leaders, singers and pastors can change their viewpoints at any time. I am not indefinatly co-signing anything with anyone.***

Lastly,

Reminding yourself and those you love that we will get through this. When one does not have hope, have it for the other. Lean on one another and build each other up. Support where you are strong and ask for help where you are weak.

You are loved, you are important and this is all temporary. May you find the peace of God to help you in this time.
