My apologies I was being flippant with the "Prison Camp" phrase. Australia's Covid Measures have been so full on that people have referred to the whole Country as being like a Prison Camp.
You certainly have been copping it from all angles. I bet you must sometimes feel like Job....every time you look up there is another trial on the horizon.
I try and meditate on ones like Joseph who had to put up with so much for so long before he saw any light at the end of the tunnel. Can't imagine the pain he must have felt sitting in a rotten Egyptian Prison and thinking about his family and Potiphar's wife.
Moses had to endure 40 years before he got clear direction as to what his flight from Egypt had meant. An 80 year old man get's a heads up from the Almighty after fleeing his royal position 4 decades previously and then he had to go another 40 years in a mobile tent city in the middle of Woop Woop.
Our trials are very much training for bigger things to come. It's so encouraging to see you keeping your faith alive and leaning on Jehovah. I buried a Romantic interest 7 years back and it's a completely different process to other deaths I had experienced. Time is definitely a healer but it was pretty shabby for a solid 18 months or so. The Sun keeps coming up and eventually the good days start to outnumber the bad. Small comfort I know but it does get better.
