Isaiah 43:19

For the past 3 months, it feels like our world has been turned upside down. After the initial shock wore off, I began to notice a change in some of my daily habits. The routine of life that I can sometimes go through robotically had been turned sideways, and I had naturally begun to do things differently. I found I had time to just sit on my front porch and enjoy the sights and sounds of nature. I had an extra moment to read and reflect on morning devotions when I would normally be rushing around to get the kids to school and me off to work. Just this week, I challenged my daughter to a card game when we would normally have been running from one activity to the next. Despite the challenges we have experienced in the past couple of months, there has been some good habits that have come from it.

As we begin to return to some sort of normal life, we have an opportunity to do so in a way that will create a new routine. I have been reflecting a lot on the habits I have created during this season that God wants me to keep. Ways I can take the good and keep it going.

Questions:
What are some good changes you have made to your life during this season that you think God wants you to keep doing? What new routine can God use to help you grow in the coming weeks and months?
