Susanna, there is so much I can write. I too found I was much stronger than I thought I was and that gives me certainty I can continue to be braver. Through Gods help. The accumulation of evil and insanity plus senseless actions finally woke me up in September of 2021 as to the author of this strange mass illness and yes, a kind of violence and assault to people by other people. It was frightening. The first time in the whole mess I was frightened. Not of the virus but of everything I felt pushing down on me. Family members disowning me, getting thrown out of places. Being insulted in public. I became comfortable with the idea I may have to find a happy life confined to wherever I would be, well, confined. I turned back to God and prayed for His peace and that wonderful gift settled within me. I then found Substack and writers like you. Thank you. Your post on Romans 13 is especially one that comforted me--I was not crazy!! I will check out your other substack. The betrayal of the churches especially hurt and I’m still trying to get a handle on it. God has more for you to do. Be still and listen. I’m kind of in the same place. God bless you. 💕🙏🏻
This won’t be over for me until they lift all mandates and admit the vaccines are useless. I want the lawsuits to start and I want Fauci in jail. While your average Joe has moved on, there are thousands, possibly millions, harmed by these vaccines whose lives will never be the same. As well as those that are no longer with us. There are still workers being fired from jobs because they will not comply. I still cannot travel to the USA to see my partner. I’m not sure things will ever be normal again.
I do not always adhere to what I am about to say (long story short I’m a fallible human complainer at times) BUT, here’s what I learned: that when I cling to Jesus I am typically much more mature. I don’t have to try to earn respect, it comes because I have chosen to follow Him and I behave differently. When I do my mind aligns to Truth and therefore without fail I grow and mature even without trying. I opposed the mandates at work in August 2021 and, instead of being vilified, I was promoted and given a position of respect and even a MEDICaL clinical position, not just administrative. The reason this is significant is we, in the anti-vax community are looked down upon and recently I read a January 2023 blog in “Medscape” (a mainstream online medical site) lumping antivaxxer together with flat earthers and reptilian conspiracists (not exaggerating and that was written by an MD). So to be promoted to this position was not totally akin to Joseph in the Old Testament being made second only to Pharaoh but it was still given a position where the docs accept me and respect me. This is God. I don’t always trust but when I do, I grow.
This is not even remotely over however....... I caution you and others. I know we must step back and stay out of the unGodly conflict, but we need to remain in the Godly fight.

I learned the same lessons as you, but was mostly a reinforcing of older ideas and mistrust, rather than a true enlightenment.
No real requests of topics of interest, you are the author, so whatever takes your fancy you should feel free to write about.
I’ve loved all your posts! I’m excited to sign up for your other ‘stack!
Thanks for writing this Substack. I really appreciated it during the COVID madness!
EXACTLY… and well said!
