Do You Hear?

Do You Hear? is Elevation's 2008 Christmas series all about hearing from God. This past sunday was the second week of the 3 week series which will conclude with Elevation's first Christmas Eve services, which will be held at Belk Theatre in Uptown Charlotte at 3, 5, & 7 p.m.

It is going to something you won't want to miss - if you're in Charlotte for Christmas Eve, you should be there!  You can listen to the first two weeks of the series here (week 1) & here (week 2) or go to www.elevationchurch.org to watch the video online.

Here is another piece that was used during the worship set this past week.  People really responded well to this unique element.  It is awesome to see God reach people in a way they didn't expect when they walked in the doors that morning.

When We Can't, He Can

So, this morning on my way into work, I was thinking about my previous day at the office and how I really left at the end of te day feeling flustered. We did a shoot for a trailer for an upcoming series which I knew was coming up, but found out that morning that is was schedule for 2 o'clock that afternoon. Naturally, I felt a little stress because of it coming up all the sudden, but nothing that I couldn't deal with. Then, I was a bit late meeting up with Larry when our videographer showed up because of another project I was helping with. THEN, when I thought that I was going to have a little staff support during the shoot, something came up where Larry and Wes couldn't be there during the shoot. I was just me, our camera guy, and our actor.

"Great" I thought to myself. I don't really have any experience directing a shoot, and I instantly thought to myself, "I can't do this, I'm an animator, I animate, I don't know how to direct a shoot." And so the shoot didn't go as smooth as I had hope, I left late to our staff workout, and I just felt flustered as I rushed out of the office not really knowing if I had accomplished what I need to for the day.

As I said, I was thinking about all of these things on my way into work and God just really called me out. Of course I can't do it all. If I could, why would I need God in my life. If I could do it all, where are the challenges? Where's the growth? The truth of the matter is we can't do it all, but He can. God really showed me through that little experience yesterday that when I feel like I can't, to call on Him and ask Him to step in and take over, and through our weaknesses, there lies His strength. When we can't, He can.

Little Superstar

I love dancing. I'm not the best, but I feel that I can hold my own on the dance floor...but compared to this little guy, I ain't got nuttin' - an oldie, but a goodie.
