I would love to take a break from it but that’s impossible when life is on hold until this bullshit ends already. I have no idea what the future holds so I can not make any decisions about anything that allows me to move forward with my life.
You sound like someone who already lives someplace where you're insulated from this bullshit not having to focus on escaping your home as the foundations are being dug out from beneath you.
Those people that stuff happened to them like tsunami and earthquakes, they also did not know the future. Just live in gratitude. Moving forward is about taking a risk. Pray and ask your Holy Spirit to guide you in the right direction.
Read Matthew 6:25
25“Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? 26Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? 27Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life?”
As I already stated, this BS is going to continue until God changes things. Until then, we may have short periods of respite here and there, but those periods will always be temporary. I too am looking to have one of those periods of respite - at least for awhile. But I also know it will not be permanent - nothing is except our Creator.
God said every inclination of the thoughts of man's heart was altogether evil all the time. When man is in the driver's seat apart from His Creator, the end result will always be the same. Evil will not be eradicated by man. Only God can thoroughly subdue evil. Until then, that evil is part of our reality. Our job is to fight back against that evil placed here in order to challenge us and bring us closer to God. He is in control and nothing happens in this world that is beyond His reach. That is the bigger picture. Our Master told us to occupy until He comes and that there would be difficulties.
We should not put our life on hold to wait for some imagined world designed by man. We cannot stop moving forward while waiting for something that may or not be. Life is too short. We still move ahead with the life we have been given and try to make things better, while at the same time, having a hopeful anticipation for a future reality made by God that is our ultimate destination.
I know this is probably not what you want to hear. But I also have to remind myself every day of this reality. It is too easy to become absorbed with worldly events that can cause us to become paralyzed - afraid to go one direction or the other - so we end up doing nothing. Do what you can with the hand you have been dealt and continue to move forward within the operational space your situation allows. That is all we can really do. Good luck.

Why is life in hold? I see where its headed and am positioning myself.
