Minding my own business and got off the bus and a fellow commuter out of the blue asked me "You're not afraid?" I said "No, I am not." He seemed baffled by this and said, "Everyone is afraid." But no, I'm genuinely not filled with any fear despite being surrounded by it daily.

I am concerned with what is happening in the world and my heart is with every person who is impacted, but I am not afraid. If anything, I am calm and peaceful despite all this madness around me telling me that I shouldn't be. I feel a peace unshakeable in the midst of chaos.

I told him that I believe in God and that He's got me and my family. It was at that moment that Philippians 4:6-7 hit me. All my life, I have never fully understood these two verses until this very moment.

What surprises me is that I can be an anxious and fearful person but once this pandemic started, I told myself that this is the season for me to decide what to put my trust and faith in - fear or God. I can't serve both.

I have chosen to serve God. I gave Him all of my fears and He has given me a peace that transcends all understanding.
