The Greatness of Our God

I feel like God has been showing me so much the past couple of months that my mind could explode.

First of all, I discovered that one of the main reasons I have a bad day or just plain am in a really bad mood is when I am in the flesh; when my focus is all on me.

As soon as I get the focus off of myself it's like a whole new world!

A couple of months ago a good friend of mine asked me to be her intercessor this year.

At this point in time I was experiencing a very dry season with God and couldn't figure out why I wasn't passionate about reading the Bible or spending time with God. (something I usually desire everyday) So I started to pray for her everyday. That was the beginning of my revelation.

I'm not the best at praying for people. I've always wished I could be one of those great prayer warriors that can pray for hours and hours and it's their prayers that kept someone alive or something like that. But I've never been able to do it consistently. I will get bored 5 min into prayer or run out of things to say or fall asleep. But I was determined to keep my promise to pray for her every day.

I knew it was going to take trying something I hadn't done before if it was really going to happen.

So I started reading scripture out loud over her, changing the tense or a few words here and there to make it apply to her. And I would just go through a book of the Bible picking out verses and praying them (out loud) over her.

As I prayed scripture over her every morning, I began to get more and more passionate about spending time with God. I started to be in a much better mood most days. And I started to become more and more passionate about intercession and learning all I can about what exactly it means.

So I started reading a book called Intercessory Prayer and it has been rocking my world.

I really wish I could explain the change that has taken place in me and in my relationship with God. He feels more real to me now than He ever has before. And the funny thing is, I have hardly prayed for myself at all in the last 2 months. The more I pray for other people, the closer I feel to God. It doesn't make any sense to my brain at all but it's true.

My God time used to be all about me reading the Bible for me and praying for me and what I can get from God and what God can reveal to me.

And theres nothing wrong with having times of that. I think that there are definitely seasons where we need a touch from God and we have to cry out to Him for ourselves before we can fight for anyone else.

But for me, it was time to go deeper, and having God time every morning for myself wasn't cutting it.

I think that if we will just get the focus off of ourselves and fight for the people around us, God will take care of us.

This is the first of many revelations I will try to share...

Hi My Name Is ZuZu And...I'm Addicted to Music and Caffeine

Why are all addictions so expensive?!

Yes, I admit it, I'm addicted to music and caffeine...

I'm currently getting a hold of my mountain dew addiction. It's been 4 days since my last sip of sweet nectar from heaven...

Coffee has been limited.

Music....oh music...

Some girls go crazy about shoes

Some go crazy about purses or other accessories

For me it's music.

I have to have music.

And it's not enough for me to just listen to it online.

I need to own it and have it on my computer for use any time and place on any device.

The problem:

This costs money. And as my parents have always tried to tell me, money doesn't grow on trees.

In conclusion, I need to either marry a very rich man or have a very rich relative die and leave me a hefty inheritance.

The future can be scary or exciting...Or BOTH!

It's been almost a year since I wrote on here last...

So much has happened in one year.

I've been thinking about the future a lot. Which makes sense seeing as this chapter of my life is quickly coming to an end.

I've been thinking about where I could end up, what I could be doing, who I could be meeting. Some days I get excited thinking about it. Some days I'm so scared I could pee my pants.

I know God is going to do something big. But I also know that it won't be anything like what I think it will look like. He's already started opening doors I never thought or dreamed of going through.

It's humbling. Knowing that I can think of about 30 people off the top of my head that are more qualified and deserve more to do what I want to do and might get to do.

But the funny thing is that God likes to choose the least likely person to do something huge. That's what scares me. Because I know that I'm not qualified at all and it would have to be God.

It's just crazy enough to be His plan...

Someone once said, "the path to your greatest potential is often straight through your greatest fear."

God's ways are not our ways...

It's humbling...
