The Reason…
Jul 31, 2009 Blog
So the website is slowing coming up to completion…well…what i can say is ‘completion’ for now. I’m sure that over the coming weeks i will be my own harshest critic and change everything around…just because.
I guess one of the most important things to do before i begin on this journey is to explain my stance on the whole blogosphere phenomena that seems to be taking over the world slowly.
To be honest, i’ve never really been a big fan of blogs…(yeah..bad timing for that one, after i finish my beautiful new blog). Seriously, i have always seen blogs as an outlet for people to vent their opinions. I’m not a fan of opinions. Wisdom backed up with scriptural evidence and hard data, thats the information i want to hear. It’s revelation that really inspires me.
This blog is not about venting opinions or rambling nonsense…although at times im sure i will find myself in a rambling mess (apologies in advance on that one).. My heart is that this blog will inspire you to grow more intimately in your relationship with our creator. It’s my prayer that the things i learn about and post would inspire you to be continually learning and growing. I don’t claim to know everything (no way!!) but i hope the things i do learn would give you some valuable insight!
Please feel free to join in the conversation by leaving your comments and thoughts as we head off on the journey together!
Be Blessed!

Photographs
Jul 21, 2009 Blog
A couple of years ago we had this great game we played whenever we went on trips to big cities. We would walk around until we found some tourists taking a photograph and ‘conveniently’ position ourselves so that we would be in the background of all the photos they took, doing something random of course. The other day a friend i haven’t seen in years posted some photos on Facebook from about 8 years ago! As i sat and pondered what could have possibly disturbed a person enough to wear some of those clothes, i was drawn to a completely oblivious person sitting in the background of the photo and wondered. Does this person even know that they are in this photo? Would they still be doing what they are doing if they knew that in 8 years from then, everybody would be looking at this photo on Facebook? I also wondered how many photos am i a part of all over the world, and what am i doing in those photos? It scared me!
We live on a platform! Everything we do in this life tells a story to the people around us. It doesn’t matter who you are or the influence you have, whether great or small, your life is a stage and people are watching the way you live your life.
Just like that horrible photograph which popped up on Facebook for all to see, if you knew a photograph was being taken of your life right now and that would one day it would be shown for all to see, how would you live your life? Romans 14:12 says that “each of us will give an account of himself to God”.Whatever you do, remember that people are watching you. Your life has influence, even to the people you least expect.
The best part about it all is that unlike an embarrassing photo that keeps resurfacing that someone holds over you. God tears up the photo when we ask forgiveness and disperses it never to be remembered again. What amazing grace!
