Quarantine Days 1-24

Being in quarantine and in isolation is definitely not for those who enjoy being outside, an extrovert, a introvert who has become a social butterfly because of university, or even someone who has depression. So everybody! Well, maybe not everybody; not those who of the generation now that don’t find outside enjoyable but they would much rather look at their phones or video games.

However, everyone’s stories are different throughout their time in quarantine.

My experience started from my sister having COVID and us not knowing about it. We were all together on my birthday; that’s how we got exposed the 1st time. When you are exposed then you have to quarantine for 10-14 days; however that’s hard when you live will the people who was exposed as well. When another person got it in the family; we just added 10 more days.

This time is about family and the time to spend together. To take some time away from the office and the extensive workload that took you away from all the family functions and outings. Family means everything.

Throughout my days stuck in my parents house with them as they were going through there symptoms; I felt completely fine (or so I thought). I didn’t have any symptoms throughout the time until the time school started up again. I felt sick to my stomach to where I couldn’t eat or sleep when I laid flat on my back. Most of the time I didn’t sleep or I would just get a couple hours a night to where I was exhausted. I went to the doctor when it affected my lungs and breathing became a struggle. I still have trouble with my breathing after being tested. The weird thing about all of this is that I still had my taste and smell. This was a week before school started again for my last spring semester.

My family is competitive when it comes to card games or games in general; so we had played a lot of rounds of Rummy, ERS (Egyptian Rat Screw), Goldfish (we kept Daisy for a little bit), amongst others.

Family is important and always should be in your life.

Maybe this was a test from God to follow him or get right in your walk with him. I don’t believe that he created this hysteria that followed the crisis outbreak; however how many of you came to know Christ in this dark time. Did he become your light in this darkness and unknowing time? What did you find out about yourself? Any new hobbies or talents? If you have kids, what new things did they learn or your eyes was opened about them? Did they find Jesus and they brought you to church? What was your light in the darkness? I would love to know. Comment below and let’s talk about it.

All the love,
