To, In and Through

Sunday was a good day for me. I had really been down about little things and upset that I hadn't been able to go to church for the last two Sundays because of work. My pastor preached about the three dimensions of Jesus revealed and it really made so much sense to me. When Jesus is revealed to us, is when we decide to give our lives to Christ and get saved. It feels so good to make that step but thats not where we should stop. We have to take in His word and His teachings so that He can be revealed in us. This is the step that I need to work on. I kept wondering why I was feeling like I was in a dead place and it was because I actually was. I was content with Him just being revealed to me, thats not good enough.
I want people to be able to see him through me (which was the third dimension) so that He can use me how he pleases. To do that, I need to get on my P's and Q's.

I'm Focused Man!!!!

Today, I finished two of my online stories and its a huge relief. I noticed that I had been trying to write too many stories at once. I need Ava's Story and the other pieces I am serious with to be top priorities so that the finished product will be what I want. So now that those are out of the way, I'M FOCUSED MAN!!! With Dynamic Image's site almost complete, I feel like we are in a good place. A lot of my writers are discouraged with the reviews, or lack there of, on some of the online sites we are members of. Once our forum gets up and running, I pray that we won't have that problem anymore.

I'm on spring break right now from school so I have a little more time to focus on my writing. Although this creative writing assignment is racking my brain at the moment, I'm sure I'll think of something great for it. I just ask that true prayers continue to pray for me and the health of my creative mind. In the words of Albert Einstein, "Imagination is more important that knowledge."

Message From Your Heart

While listening to Kina Grannis' song 'Message From Your Heart' I realized that this song is really true. A lot of times I ignore my heart to the point where when my feelings do come out, the come out in a crash of yelling and tears. We should be mindful of others' feeling yet we must own our own feelings. My problem is, I worry too much about what others are accusing me of, especially if they are doing the same thing. Ex. I have a serious attitute problem. I can be very sarcastic at times and it annoys a lot of people in my family, who have the same attribute. Instead of me worrying about why they are pointing out my flaws and not their own, I need to work on mine and leave them to theirs. I cannot change anyone but Christian and that is the only person that I wish to change. Her and God have some things to deal with that no one else needs to be aware of. We will work out our issues without anyone else's criticism or judgements. Hopefully, my determination (yet struggle) to change will liberate others.

My Prayer

I have realized that time is not slowing down for any of us. I have taken God for granted for too long and its time for me to live as He wants me too. Not only do I want to inspire people through my writing, but I wish to draw them closer to God as well and I know that most of my current projects are not going to accomplish that dream.

Ever since my car accident on Thanksgiving night, I've realized that all this could be over in a split second and I'm afraid that I haven't done what I have been designed to do. I fear that I won't get that 'well done'. So this is my prayer.

I pray that God guides my heart to him, that I become in line with his plan for my life. He has given me a creative talent and I pray that I learn to use it to glorify him and only him. I pray that when this life is all said and done, that I have changed even one person's life in the smallest way. We all have to start somewhere.

A new Month

Today, I've decided that my focus has been neglected for too long. I noticed that I care entirely too much about things no one else seems to even think twice about. I can never be a person that does not care about the people or things around me, but I am trying not to care as much. From now on, I'm going to strive to make God, school and my writing my first priorities.
