GetChristLike.com Journal 002

I’m back working again after a week in Florida
Been trying to focus on Getting Christ Like
Watching what I say to others
Careful of my thoughts of others
Not focusing on breaking down others
But building them up
I had a guy from Scotland compliment the brand
I had an inspiring conversation about www.GetChristLike.com
They loved the T-Shirts
I know there will be some with negative thoughts
They say you should not have to advertise your Christianity
But as I walked around Universal Studios, Downtown Disney and Coco Beach
I seen that the Get Christ Like on my chest was not for me
In comparison to the name tag shirt a young man wore that read
“Hi! I’m...” HORNY
I imagined it felt good to look at another person
And be inspired to Get Christ Like
To know that there are some who still believe
It was fun when the lights went out on the virtual ride
And the shirt remained glowing
I also noticed that the bigger part was to live the brand
It would be very difficult to wear the shirt
And be seen cursing your kids out
It would be awkward to wear the shirt
And walk past someone who has fallen
So as we prepare to launch the online magazine
I can’t help but wonder who is willing to “live the brand”
While it would be great to have millions of people sign up
I know that this is a narrow path
A path that few have chosen
Wearing the clothes causes me to hold myself to a higher standard
I do not want to shame God

I look at relationships a lot now
Entering my 7th year of marriage this month
The ability to love someone for who they are is so important!
To expect any kind of change is setting yourself up for failure
I know people like to believe they can mold a man or woman
But only God has that power
We can only “influence” or “inspire” others
Both of these qualities require setting an example
Remaining obedient to God’s Word
Submissiveness is a rare quality
It requires letting go of everything we know
And excepting those traits, qualities, and tasks that the Bible Outlines
I learned a long time ago to focus on my own submissiveness
I witnessed a person focusing on their own while on vacation
I noticed how hard it was
Noticed the amount of stress it caused
But I imagine that Christ was stressed as well
Day after Day teaching people who did not want to change
Loving enemies and friends alike
I call it “Taking One for the Team”
And we do a lot of that each day in our lives
We do things in order to keep peace
We should never yell the first thing that comes to our mind
We always think first and then speak
Words have so much power
They can destroy and uplift in the same breath
It only takes a few words to destroy a relationship
But something as simple as “I love you” can give it new meaning!

My vacation was so necessary!
I had time to meditate and think on where to go from here
I’ve always asked for purpose in life
I’ve always requested God allow me the power to change the world
And I realize that we all have that power
If we affect one person who in turn affects another and so forth
We could be looking at “inspiring” millions of people of our lifetime
Unseen glory... The kind you cannot brag about...
The kind you never get public credit for
Thats how we change the world

We inspire one person at a time to Get Christ Like

7:56am and its like vacation never happened this morning! So much work to do for so many people! Lets do it!!! Thanking God this morning for always being there!

10:16am and I'm back from a wonderful vacation with Bear Glover and the Glover Family! Where we filmed the Man vs. Orlando Show (video coming soon!)

GetChristLike.com Journal 001

We are preparing to leave tonight
Two.5 families headed to Florida
Got my www.GetChristLike.com T-shirts packed
A few SupaDopeFresh.com Shirts packed
House Sitter arranged for
Deoderant, Dental Floss, 2 Razors, (buying a toothbrush there),
Clothes, Socks, Underwear,
Cell Phone Charger, Laptop, Flat Panel Monitor,
Drawing Pad, Pencils, Pens, Crossword Puzzle Books,
MP3 collection, PSP with the Kung-Fu-Hustle Movie,
portable earphones, and hard drive? (thinking I should only do school work - no hard drive needed)

I want to focus on Getting Christ Like in my daily life,
The best way to market a brand is to be the brand
So I'm asking all my business partners in particular to...

BE THE BRAND!

We are "www.GetChristLike.com"
We realize that There is only so much time left...
Each of us has a day set that we leave this earth
It's up to us to use that time wisely
Not wasting it speaking foolish words,
Consuming alcohol until we can not think straight,
Having sex with as many people as we can,
Destroying earth with waste and pollutants.
We are more responsible than that
We have more respect for God than that
We have more respect for ourselves than that.

They say its hard to walk upright
Too difficult to Get Christ Like

I say anything worth attaining is worth fighting for
I say that if you dont stand for something, you will fall for anything

I'm leaving for a minute
I have a lot to think about
Have a lot of meditating, fasting and praying to do
I'm looking for a job now during what is the worst economic state I've ever seen
I can't give up on the family business
So a job will offset the financial burden
Friends and Employers both look at me like "Why?"
Like I'm too good to work in a warehouse
Or take orders
I dissagree highly!
I've been bred to work
My daddy and his daddy before him worked until they could not anymore
And when they found more work they went back and did some more
They were providers

I remember one of my friends describing me as a "Provider"
(http://ping.fm/vYjck)
"Providers take it upon themselves to insure the health and welfare of those in their care, but they are also the most sociable of all the Guardians, and thus are the great nurturers of social institutions such as schools, churches, social clubs, and civic groups. Providers are very likely more than ten percent of the population, and this is fortunate for the rest of us, because friendly social service is a key to their nature. Wherever they go, Providers happily give their time and energy to make sure that the needs of others are met, and that social functions are a success. "

So there you have it
I am what I am
Without the ability to be that, I am but lost soul
They once said that until you can help yourself, you can not help others
I've seen that proven wrong on many occassions
I've watch my father and grandfather carry entire church congregations
While they struggled each day at home
Struggled with finances, health problems, and broken dreams.
But yet they remained strong
Leaders amongst men
So I continue to press forward
Following in bold footsteps
Knowing that this race is not giving to the swift nor the strong
I'm definitely not the fastest nor the strongest
But I'm the one that never quits

I got tired of running some time ago
I ran from problems
Ran from relationships
Ran from crowds
Ran from truth

But today I'm no longer running
I'm standing firm
