Of course you can't talk about anything 2019 and onwards without mentioning Covid as its still present today, but just looks different in how we have been dealing with it since some of the early events I will mention here. Even though I've been trained as a student of the bible, not just in a church context, but someone who has been to two different seminaries, I'm so tempted to just go into a deep deep language study of both how the Hebrew and Greek writers wrote those translations, different English translations, commentaries etc... But then I take a step back and I realize, this post isn't meant to be neither a bible study nor sermon on the passage of Matthew 6. My only reason for even including this passage as a reference is many because I had been looking for a personal space to do my own version of "my confession" regarding some of the regrets I have in my personal life, who doesn't have them? But also as a more universally comprehendable parting thought that should I find a way to leave Ontario prior to the end of 2023, there's a not here explaining why it may be part of "your kingdom come,
your will be done,on earth as it is in heaven." [Matthew 6:10] more than any one specific factor such as I just want to leave Ontario.
I found it extremely difficult to write the paper on helicopter parenting and its application, more so the second paper regarding application. Looking back I probably shouldn't have picked a topic that hit so close to home so close to the event that had caused me trauma. Similarly, writing about home is quite mentally taxing but I think it needs to be done.
First things first, maybe I'm just not Matthew 6:24–34 enough, that is, I don't trust God to provide for the future. I think a lot of it has to do with my conditioning as my biological mother's son that all risk leads to disaster. Although there are some events in my life that also didn't turn out the way I planned, it doesn't necessary mean they didn't go according to God's plan. Recently another passage was brought to mind that I mentioned to one of my profs GH:
[Post is in Progress]
