Popcorn everyone loves popcorn; at least I would assume everyone loves popcorn. You have movie popcorn, kettle corn, caramel popcorn, cheese popcorn I could go on forever with the different flavors of popcorn. The sound of popping, the smell I’m getting hungry just thinking about it right now. Let us pause for a popcorn break…………….

Ok I’m back now, sorry about that had to pause for a popcorn break (kettle corn if you are wondering which flavor). The thing about popcorn is that when it cooking or popping whatever you call it. It never all pops, if you try to get all the kernels to pop you end burning some.

It’s kind of the same thing in your ministry not everything is going to work out the way you intend it. But we learn and continue to forge ahead and not be discouraged by those that don’t pop but be encouraged by those that do POP!

How did I come up with the title It’s Not About Me. I’m 33 years old and I’ve spent 30 of that just thinking about me. Everything I did every decision I made was about me. Weighing out all the option and how those options affect me. If I don’t want to do something I didn’t do it. I was the center of my own universe it was the Vince Parker show, and if you didn’t like it I didn’t care. Yes I might have done things that seemed nice but it was about me. Truth is it’s not about me not even close. See this is not one of those feel good blogs where I say their people out there who have it worse than I do and we should think about them. This is not about comprising on what movie to go see. Truth is when you are a selfish person like I was you easily see when others our being selfish and they don’t even notice it. You could be the most giving, kind, thoughtful person on the planet. It’s still not about that. Fact is any and everything you do should point to the Glory of the one true God. What will people say when they look back at your life will it point them to God or will it point them to you and the type of person you were.
