Hey fam! Getting a pulse check of this group. How are we all doing? I’ll start - I’ve been struggling with the day to day, staying motivated, and feeling connected to others. I’m just very over this virtual world and I miss in person worship and gatherings. This bowl is a safe space, so feel free to share any and all ups and downs! Thankful for you all

Hey! Thanks for sharing and being open! I personally have been struggling as well. Mostly because I live by myself. So unfortunately it’s a lot of alone time with me and my thoughts. I do think I have grown spiritually but I do feel like I’m in a bit of a lull for right now. I guess it’s comforting to know this too shall pass and God will get me through it

I’m doing ok but my wife is struggling. She lost her father to covid early in the pandemic and we still haven’t had a funeral. It’s been really tough.

We’ve always been on the same page with faith but I find her not as engaged with watching mass at home and less active in getting our kids ready for it (for reference, getting three boys under 5 ready for church either in person or virtual is a massive undertaking).

We still have a great relationship but she’s stated she’s feeling a bit more distant in her faith. She’s an excellent wife and mother but I just wish I could take her pain and make it all better.

Hey D! Same here! Can’t wait until I can go back to my locality and hug and share a meal with my church family

Right here with you. While definitely staying safe I long to be around people to chat and hug and share a meal.

Same! I miss being able to being able to worship and being near people. My church has virtual connect groups where people are bonding over mutual interests virtually so I’m excited for that but virtual life definitely has me losing motivation and I definitely have to be more intentional about being positive and showing care to my teams and myself.

IMO God isn’t happy with our lack of communal worship. We should fear Him above man.

I am now actively looking but how do I explain to other employers why I am actively looking and what do I put on my resume? I have never had to deal with this before.
