prayer focus

CHRIST IS THE HEART OF THIS INTERNET SPACE!!!

No but in all seriousness, take some time to pray the following. Not only for you but for the world we’re living in. I would add: pray for the airspace. It feels like everyday we’re getting news of mishaps related to flying in one way or another.

In the name of Jesus it will never be you or anyone you love and care about who falls victim to the evil going about in the air. You’re a child of God, no harm can, and no harm will, ever come to you. In Jesus name, amen.

alright. you can kind of just do things.

I love peppermint tea. I love spearmint tea. And I love this Tazo tea called Organic Zen. Usually I have separate cups throughout the day to get all my favorites in. Then I thought - what if I just put them all together? Now I'm addicted to this blend.

I could've been doing this the whole time. I can kind of just do things.

my personal ipo

Let me explain the Instagram situation. My private Instagram - where all my high school and middle school people are - gave me major posting anxiety. When you're trying to show up as your new self, getting just 2 likes from people who don't even know your new life is kind of crushing. It's like the external validation of your growth just isn't there. So I just stopped posting.

That fear carried over to my public Instagram (@zozoshumba) in every possible way lol. I am confidently in the 4 likes a post club and I don't really care because I get the vision. If no one else does, we don't see the same future and that’s okay!

Everything changed when I started looking at all my social media as more of a media company than just me posting. That niggling posting anxiety? Gone. Maybe it's a writer thing, maybe it's a creative thing, but reframing it completely changed how I show up online.

Because I'll never find the people I'm supposed to find if I don't just kind of do the things I want to do.

if you don’t leave yourself alone you’ll stay stuck

You'll always be stuck in a place you don't want to be in if you don't move. The same goes for you. The same goes for your life.

3 ways to start just doing things

Pick 3 areas in your life where you feel stuck:

• Health

• Career

• Finances

• Relationships

The antidote to stagnation? Kind of just doing things.

If you feel it's a spiritual problem you can’t address, start filling yourself with spiritual knowledge. The Holy Spirit will start working on your mind and bringing you solutions - whether those be men and women of God, or sermons, or whatever. You'll get what you need. You just have to start doing things.

Remember:

1. God can only bless the work of your hands

2. Stop being so afraid of existing. You exist. You're already here. You passed that little measure of a "test" that validates your body being on this plane. You get a body. You get to use it (not in a nefarious way). You get to do what you want to do, so long as it's in the will of God.

You don't have to be so afraid. The world isn't against you. In fact, it's waiting for you to participate.

The world is like a dance circle. No one actually cares what you do in there - as long as you dance. That's really what it's about. As long as you dance.

Before the week ends, kind of just do something and see how free you feel.

Love you,
