Certainly the "Covid-19" has become a daily challenge for humanity. The normality of life changed dramatically with the appearance of this disease. We enjoyed routine freedom to enter a home prison cell. The current reality leads us to plan a set of activities that are subject to four walls for the fulfillment of a quarantine imposed by the governments of the nations as a preventive measure of protection for their citizens.
Leaving home is no longer at the will of the person, but at the will of the government authorities. However, we cannot lead a life with our arms crossed and wait for this plague to pass overnight. We must in one way or another be active and dynamic, because we are not ordinary people who belong to this world, but our citizenship is in heaven.
The Christian should understand that his daily quarantine work schedule differs completely from the daily schedule of someone who does not know Christ. In this sense, throughout this period of quarantine I have dedicated myself to carrying out activities focused on the kingdom of God, such as devotionals, and taking advantage of the flexibility of quarantine that the government of my country allows. These two elements constitute the heart of "My Quarantine Diary".

Quarantined Devotionals
Every start of a quarantine day, I start doing my devotionals. Talking to God through prayer is relevant and of great interest to start a day in victory. When it is five in the morning, I am already in my secret place talking to the heavenly Father. This is something that the Lord commands us in his word: "Pray without ceasing."
At the end of the prayer period, I take up the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God, and spend a relevant time reading and meditating on the word. When doubts arise, I turn to Christian bibliographic sources and delight in research. This helps the Holy Spirit to give us more revelation of the word.
The quarantined Christian should take the time to speak to God and meditate on the word. This is a way of managing time in the daily life of the quarantine and helps to break with fatigue and weariness, because when we seek God, we fill ourselves with new forces and feel joyful.
What to do during the relaxation of the quarantine?
In my country, Venezuela, the national government, allows the flexibility of the quarantine day, where children, young people and the elderly have a time allowed to leave their homes at a specific time to carry out recreational and sports days. This relaxation is carried out on weekends under the respective security parameters to avoid the spread of "Covid-19".

In my particular case, I take advantage of these moments of flexibility to carry out the "Family Altars", in which we spiritually support the people who participate, both from the community and family members. Members of the local church and HeartChurch Ministry participate in “Family Altars” activities.
Family coexistence is the most noteworthy thing in the relaxation of quarantine. We gather to celebrate “Mother's Day”, “Father's Day” and special events such as the birthdays of a family member. It should be noted that due to the economic situation in our country, these celebration activities have the support of the brothers who belong to the HeartChur International Ministry in the Cantaura area, who give their financial contribution to cover the food expenses of each exercise. In this regard, the solidarity of the HeartChurch Cantaura brothers is shown and we thank our apostle @ darlenys01 for his consistent support that he has always given us.
In my quarantine journal, I dedicate time and space to maintaining my home's garden and other activities, such as going out to buy what is necessary for the home.

In general, "My quarantine diary" I end up doing my activities related to creating content to be published on different social networks.
When night falls, I evaluate the work done during the day and I thank my God for his love and strength that he gives me. Each Christian is responsible before God for what they do in these days of exigencies of the pandemic, because the people of God have a great commitment to pray for their nation and for all men as the word demands, so that man repent and receive Christ as savior.
Thanks for reading and your valuable comments.
Special blessings for all communities that support original content creation.
