I feel bad about the Murder of George Floyd's death and it is good that people are taking a stand against police brutality, and inequality of injustice against our black communities. What I had seen on the news of a number of people protesting against police brutality. While watching that made me think that if hundreds of people are out there around each other knowing that a virus is still spreading. Why am I still in the house? The enemy was tempting me to go back outside and do the things that I always did every summer before this pandemic. I felt like taking long walks again because I really enjoy walking and I also felt like hanging out with my boyfriend again once week going places. I had gone to the lord with that problem because that was bothering me. God gave me the wisdom that I still need to be still. Joining my church's conference prayer line weekly is being an encouragement to me to stay put, and to not engage in what other people are doing in the world because that is ungodly. Stay at home.
How I feel about the looting, rioting, and how people are going against the laws of the land? I feel that the looting rioting is not justified. It is ungodly of those who are destroying properties like restaurants, grocery stores, and banks.
On the 1st of Monday was when I got my monthly check to pay me and my mother's rent. I had gone to Chase Bank on 95th n Stony Island. There were glass windows and ATMs that had been demolished. It was only two ATMs that were working at the time. I had to wait in a long line and made sure I was not close to anyone. I thank God at least one bank was open because paying the bills is important.
I was hoping that a grocery store was opened as well because my mother had kept badgering me that all the stores were probably going to be closed. We had driven around all the grocery stores in town. Jewels Osco, Save A lot, Dollar Tree, Ultra Foods, Pete's, Family Dollar, Aldi's, and Walgreens were all closed. Some stores that we passed by were set on fire. God help me because this pandemic seems like it is getting worse. I kept praying and hoping that it would be one store opened and it was. It was a mini-market that was opened on 75th n Jeffrey, which I do not like going to because it has a lot of gang activity going on in that environment. I did not have any choice to go there since all the other grocery stores were destroyed. Thank God that I did find a store that was opened because I really needed food for me and my child. God will always make a way for us. God will always do the impossible, believe that.
