April 2020: My office is a laptop on a tray table in my in-laws' house. My husband is in his 3rd month on crutches after his accident in February. He hasn't worked since before lockdown.

My 7 year-old son spends most of his day on zoom school. My sister-in-law has been laid off due to COVID. Our church is meeting online only. I am wrapping up with an organization I hoped would be my future. I have just joined a startup.

Life is uncertain, but we have each other.

I'm utterly exhausted.
I'm weary beyond measure.
I'm nurturing a seed of hope.

That's when I started listening to this song.

Rest, sanctuary and peace are all things we seek after.
Where we look for them makes all the difference.

Where are you looking today?

Lyrics:
You are my ecosystem
You are the air I'm breathing
In the endless wasteland
You are my rushing fountain

You are my ecosystem
No matter what the weather
You are my better option
No matter what I'm facing

You are water from the rock and I'll thirst no more
You hold up my arms when I'm battle-torn
Oasis within me, You're the oasis within me
You are colors in the sky after forty rains
In the thick of the night, You're the break of day
Oasis within me, You're the oasis within me

You are the thing I've needed
In each and every season
And I really mean it
Yeah, I really mean it

Storm or drought
Surrounded by fire or flood
With You, I'm never without
So if I go or stay
I know that it's all the same
It's You, You are my escape
