A project for the good of my Lord
April 21, 2008
So I, As James Paine, Have started a new project, Not some half hearted attempt at fame-dom, no, this time it is for nothing other than the fun of Honoring the Lord.
I was sitting in my youth group listening to a wise man tell me of how people should be using their gifts from God to Honor God, but i was dumbfounded, I couldn’t figure out what my gift was, let alone use it for the good of God. Well after a few weeks of listening to this man tell us all of gifts and of me praying, I began to realize a few of mine. And so as I sat in youth group once again, the topic arose of using our gifts to Honor the Lord. I had been kinda nodding in and out of this topic as I was probably tired and bored, but a few words popped through as I was gazing down upon a magazine I had brought with, “use your gifts for the Good of the Lord, To Honor Him”, And I knew what I had to do. I couldn’t take the normal everyday approach to this, I couldn’t just say “Hi” and be nice to those I normally wasn’t, no, I needed to do some extraordinary, I needed to use a gift God Gave me for the Good Of Him. And Then An Idea popped into my head, and I felt that this was put there by the Holy Spirit. After my youth pastor finished talking I went straight over to him and explained to him I felt I had just had a Calling. He was all for it and had me explain it to the whole group. God Has given me the gift of Film making and video Editing, and up until this moment of revelation, I hadn’t quite used it for the Glory of God, Yeah sure I had made a video for the church before, but it was more of a memento than a out-reaching Video for the Lord. So I created a Partial Plan with my Youth Pastor afterwards and Went home and started work On my Plan on how to do this right away. I feel that I have been called to do some work for the Lord, by Using an Unconventional mean to extend Christianity to Others. I can’t Go into detail about the project as it needs to be kept under-wraps until I get some stuff ready and done. But I can say that the project does aim at a crowd that generally has warped views of what Christianity Really is.
It Has been One week since I took a hold of this idea and turned it into a reality, And I have made a lot of progress, But there is still plenty of work ahead of me. But it feels good to know that God will be with me every step of the way.
I found your blog on google and read a few of your other posts. I just added you to my Google News Reader. Keep up the good work. Look forward to reading more from you in the future.
