The diagnosis of COVID positive is unnerving and frightening enough as it is. But if you are a nationally known recording artist who JUST released her first full album in 5 years, and both online and live concerts on your calendar, it's a LOT to take in.

Just is the case with Natalie Grant, who disclosed to fans that she has been diagnosed with the CoronaVirus. 

UPDATE: Natalie posted this update on 11/2:
Feeling better today, HALLELUJAH!
Still low grade fever that comes and goes, and the exhaustion situation is REAL 🙃. But woke up feeling my best yet, so woohoo! But I still can’t smell or taste a thing.
Bernie is still struggling, though so please keep praying for him!
All of our kids are healthy which is such an answer to prayer!!!

Well, a positive COVID test wasn’t in the plan, but here we are.
I’m terribly achy, extra tired, can’t taste anything and just super bleh.

While the natural inclination would be to run to the pity party and possibly panic, Natalie does something unnatural to our flesh, but completely scriptural in nature - she lists what she is thankful for!

I’m going to recover.
I don’t have an underlying health condition.
I’m not having lung/breathing issues.
I have medical insurance.
I have a loving family.
I have a supportive husband who is stepping in to fully take care of the kids.
I have an incredible church community that is praying, texting and offering to help in any way they can.

Well, a positive Covid test wasn’t in the plan, but here we are. I’m terribly achy, extra tired, can’t taste anything and just super bleh. Though I realize I’m only at the start of it, these are the things I’m incredibly grateful for today: I’m going to recover. I don’t have an underlying health condition. I’m not having lung/breathing issues. I have medical insurance. I have a loving family. I have a supportive husband who is stepping in to fully take care of the kids. I have an incredible church community that is praying, texting and offering to help in any way they can. My thoughts are with those who have it and are alone. I’m thinking of those right now that are having so much difficulty breathing, and are afraid. My heart is with the single parent that has this stupid virus and is panicked about who is going to take care of their kids. I mean, how do you even isolate? So then you’re afraid of getting your kids sick. Single parents - you’re heroes. And for all of you that have lost someone you love to this, I’m just so sorry. Most of you never even got the chance to say goodbye and I’m grieving with you. So yeah, I have Covid. But somehow I’m feeling incredibly blessed in the midst of it all. #perspective (And if you’re willing, pray for protection and health over my sweet Gracie, as she is an asthmatic.❤️)

Our prayers are with Natalie and her family for a VERY quick recovery and no further infections.
