2014 Day 26 – Never Stop Growing

26 Sunday Jan 2014

I saw this picture yesterday and I just needed to post it. You see, I have been waiting on God to show me what I need in order to be truly happy. I keep looking for what I need in my life to reach the place where God can bless me and use me fully. The truth is captured in the picture below; we never reach the top and we never stop learning and growing. It is all about the continuous relationship building we have with God. Instead of being frustrated in that thought, I should celebrate that God will always give me more.

Jeremy Cowart is a world class photographer. I recently started following him on Twitter and a new iPhone app called OKDOTHIS he recently launched. A few days ago he Tweeted about a special moment he had with actor John Schneider (the original “Dukes of Hazard” and “Smallville”) during a photo shoot for a TV show. I was not prepared for what I was about to read. I hope you see why I think this was worth sharing. You never really know what is going in someone’s life at any moment.

This is a commercial produced by P&G. As I watched it I could not help but find a correlation to how God works in us. No matter how many times we fall, He is right there to pick us up and help us learn from each failure. He loves us and ultimately wants what is best for us.

2014 Day 5 – John Piper – Don’t Waste Your Life: Risk

I love listening to John Piper. In this short video He talks about taking a risk for the Kingdom. This does not mean we should be be dumb about this, but we should be daring and trusting in God that He can do a might work through us and for His glory. Romans 8:38-39 says, 38 For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, 39 neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

2013 Day 365 – The New Year

Google publishes a video each year reviewing the most popular searches on their site from the past year. I thought it would be a good video to close 2013. Not everything in this video is positive from a believer’s perspective. While we face turmoil in our world, it is important to remember that God is still in control.

Happy New Year!!!

From the video’s description on YouTube:

“John 3:16 – The Story of Love” came from the movie Most (The Bridge), a beautiful Oscar-nominated movie and winner of many prestigious film festivals that tells the story of the close relationship between a bridge operator and his young son and the fateful day when both try to head off an impending rail disaster. This video is narrated by Reggie Dabbs through his sermon at Planetshakers Conference 2007.

2013 Day 355 – John Piper: From Darkness to Light

In today’s reflection, I came across this short John Piper video where he explains what it is like to come out of the darkness and into the light of new birth. When God opens our eyes to Him, He is no longer irrelevant to us. Having eyes that are open brings us out of the darkness and into the light of fully experiencing God.

I love the heart behind this video. Instead of spending money on meaningless advertisements, they decided to spend money by creating some Christmas magic for a few of their customers. Such a great example of serving people in a way that impacts them the most.

2013 Day 341 – Christopher Maloney’s X-Factor

I don’t typically watch shows like the X-Factor, but I happened to see this clip and it made me think about the power of positive encouragement. I think too many people are quick to criticize and find fault in others. We all need encouragement at some point in our lives. We should all work towards helping to push others along rather than tear them down. I hope you see the implications of this video the same way I did.
