Crowned Amid Covid
It is my prayer that you are safe and in great health amid this Covid pandemic. As I was traveling I realized that this presents an opportunity for me to teach and educate individuals on how to live a crowned life amid covid.
Jewel #1: Pray. Do not allow the chaos of this world to cause you from basking in the creator of the world. The blood still works, God can do anything, and he can turn this thing around.
Jewel #2: Connect and check in with someone that lifts your spirit. This allows us to connect with a friend, aunt, uncle, or mentor that we have been meaning to connect with for some time now. I have been checking in with people and people have been checking in on me. If you don't know where to start with people to check on here's a list of people :
Check on 2020 graduates
Parents working from home with kids
Human resources professionals
People who work for the state, aviation industry, medical professionals
Senior citizens
Small business owners
Jewel #3: Turn the news off, don't sit glued to the news it can be depressing. Once your spirit has had enough don't be afraid to change the channel and watch something that brings you joy
Jewel #4: Use this time to organize the room or cabinet or photos you have been meaning to do.
Jewel #5: Create a playlist that brings you peace and serenity.
Jewel #6: While you have the time, check the mail for 2020 Census information and fill it out. The Census is vital to our communities and it comes around every 10 years.
Jewel #7: Exercise - YouTube or use Instagram to learn effective home exercises. Use your breaks throughout the day to exercise or do yoga to center yourself.
Jewel #8: Open blinds. Open windows. One of my favorite pastimes is sitting on the couch in my front living room with the blinds open reading or just looking out the window. I am a firm believer in allowing natural sunlight in the house. My Mr. Knox is a native of California, he loves letting fresh air in so occasionally he would open the window
Jewel #9: Open hearts- this world is chaotic, open your hearts to show compassion towards one another.
This is spiritual. God is using this as an opportunity for us to turn to him, to seek his face. God is calling on our nation and his people to rise to be more like him. 2 Chronicles 7:14, " Then my people, who are called by my name, will be sorry for what they have done. They will pray and obey and stop their evil ways. If they do, I will hear them from heaven. I will forgive their sin and I will heal their land. (ICB)
Covid is not bigger than our Lord Jesus Christ.
