Waiting In A Virtual Siberia

I'm not sure how I feel at this time. Anxious....yes. I have to admit that. Alone...yes. It's my fault though for this isolation. Scared...yes...at times I am. Yet I also feel strangely elated, like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders. I can't explain it. All I can say is that this mixture of feelings comes from the mixed messages I've been receiving lately. It's almost like I'm waiting in a virtual Siberia.

Siberia, as most historians and geographers know, is a desolate place. Back in the twentieth century (really not that long ago), children were threatened with the words; "We'll sent you off to Siberia!" This meant that you would be subjected to harsh punishment and be isolated from the world. Actually without the punishment part that might not be a bad thing. Being isolated, you wouldn't be bombarded by well wishers and advice. You'd have to work things out on your own. It might be hard though not to have human contact. I can only imagine what is going through the minds of those who are under quarantine right now. I know that they must be thinking that they are lost.

I do find myself praying for the Lord's coming on a daily basis. Yet I'm anxious that I'll succumb to the temptations and fears that are swirling around me. I know this "Siberia" time is for my good. I pray that I can be a light to others and show them God's love for them.
