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
