My family and I were infected with COVID-19 for about 3 weeks. I believe with all my heart our faith carried us through.
My husband’s symptoms started 2 days after we got home from his mother’s funeral in Miami, then mine two days after his. They included fever, shakes, body aches, headache, fatigue, loss of taste and loss of smell. Our daughter’s diagnosis came a week later. I prayed constantly, “Lord be with us and bless us.”
We kept working from home through this, resting when we felt exhausted. After the 1st week, I had one good day then the symptom came back full force. I was so tired I would nap between Zoom meetings! For about 3 days I could do nothing but pray. I could barely get out of bed. I slept a lot and prayed almost every waking moment. I prayed we didn’t have to go to the emergency room. I prayed for healing, for more faith, for our lives to be spared, and for salvation if they were not.
I actually prayed for faith the size of a mustard seed.
Let’s think about the size of a mustard seed. Write the word faith on a piece of paper with a regular pen or pencil. The size of that dot above the letter i, is the amount of faith we need to move mountains!
I am so thankful to be here to tell my story. We’re alive! I’m thankful we didn't need to go to the hospital. I’m thankful for God’s grace and for that mustard seed sized faith that I was able to cling to!
My prayer for you this Advent, is that when obstacles present themselves, you will find that mustard seed sized faith to cling to. That tiny bit of faith that moved this mountain!
