Lima, Peru
“I’ve lived here for 2 years, and I should be used to the feeling of missing my family by now. But the minute they shut the borders due to our lock-down, it felt as if distance was stabbing my heart. Like the rest of us, I just want this to end – even though I know things will never be “normal” again. We’re on day 20 of a 28 day lock-down, which quite frankly is the strictest thing I’ve ever lived through. Some days make it hard to see the good. But I’ve learned that just because I don’t feel the hope we have in Jesus, doesn’t mean it’s not there. It means I’m choosing to ignore it. Ask me if I’m doing anything during quarantine, and I’ll tell you I’ve been choosing again and again.”
