Had a long weekend this weekend... because I took Monday off to get my eyes examined! Well, actually my eye lids, seemed to have developed some sort of rash over the past month... not sure if it's an infection or allergic reaction, but anyway, it is a lot better now.
Over the weekend I finally finished the website for TG and a simple demo video showcasing one of the songs. It's not the best website in the world nor the best video in the world, but I tried my best! Hopefully we'll find more members joining to help out if they have a common vision! :)
Speaking of visions, Pastor Jim delivered a pretty weird sermon last Sunday. He had Terry Crews do a funky robot dance... not as crazy as the movie I linked below, but still pretty out there for a sunday service for a church...
And then Pastor simply did an interview with Terry, letting him share his testimonies of how as an injured and retired NFL player... ended up working as a secruity guard... to gradually having a great career in Hollywood! He achieved all that simply be acting justly, loving mercy and humbly following God! Even as a security guard, he worked passionately as if they're paying him $1million!!! ;) And he moved up by people slowly noticing him. He now works with Chris Rock and Adam Sandler...
I also found out on wikipedia saying that Terry actually went to the same high school with wife... and he got scholarship for it too..., I'm just not sure which program he was in... probably acting.
But anyway, so the moral of his story is that:
1) We gotta set clear goals for ourselves. Faith in Christ really isn't about what we can't do, but about what we CAN do! Don't allow religion to become a bondage of you can't do this or do that..., dare to dream dreams! And of course God will prepare for us something even better than what we imagined...
2) We gotta connect with the right people. Are the people around you good influences? And are you always the one teaching/preaching? If so, it's time to make new friends... to learn! I've also heard that Obama is a person who'd actively seek out mentors to learn from. For sure this is an area I'm lacking... and I'm for sure too passive when it comes to meeting new people.
3) Work hard/have discipline. Just like Joseph, no matter how bad things get, we still gotta do what God called us to do. Like Terry said, even if the job is lousy, still work at it as if you're getting paid a lot! That kind of attitude and discipline is important if we ever want to be truly successful. People are always watching... whether it be coworkers or your family members. Being a Christian isn't really about talking the talk, but walking the walk!!!
4) Balance living. We also need to balance our lives well. Our priorities ought to be God, family, yourself, work, etc. We better NOT lose focus of what's important in life by focusing on the wrong things!
To get to where we want to be, sometimes we like to avoid paying the toll by taking the shunpike, but there's always price to be paid I suppose. There's a price to pay when we do things God's way, there's also a price to be paid when we do things our own way. King Solomon lived his life doing things both ways... and in the end, he realized God's way is better.
He's supposedly the wisest man on earth, but may we all capable of realizing this truth before its too late...
