10th Anniversary of briancarter.link

This year marks the 10th since starting this website back in 2015.  Wow a lot has happened in a decade!  God has been very faithful to my family and I and has marked our days with His blessings.  I hope this website is proof of that.  The biggest “Wow!” or SMOT – Special Moment of Today (or rather Decade), has been how the 182 was used throughout my and my family’s life.  From being the reason for songs I’ve written, discovering a gift idea, uncovering how an international community can interact with the Divine, to growth in personal faith and vocabulary, the 182 is more than Coconut Cove’s backstory or a connecting theme for random stuff I just made up (like “Sign Spotting Day”.)  

 
I’m excited to see what God has in store for my family and I as we are daily carving out our path with Him.
 
Another big “WOW!” or SMOD – Special Moment of the Decade, has been Spiritfire.  Uncovering the ‘why’ behind the teachings of Jesus has been so unbelievably powerful.  Every time my family gathered around God’s Word, we witnessed literally ‘how’ through Jesus’ work fulfilling the book of Proverbs (The wisdom of God through which He created the heavens and the earth), we are made into new creations, 2 Corinthians 5:17.  Another Way apart from the Law has been found to communicate the power of the Gospel, (I think Paul would’ve approved had he seen.)  Can this bridge the gap between ‘wisdom’ based religions?  Can Jesus’ fulfillment of Proverbs bring together future generations distanced from Christianity by the sacrificial system?  Or maybe letting pastor’s talk about their relationship with God through the 182 can be a helpful dialogue as sin is dismantling the unity of the Church?
 
I’m excited to see what God has in store for my family and I as we are daily carving out our path with Him.
 
It is no secret I am not interested in revivals.  They are too easily forgotten.  I am interested in opening a door, one that will change the system we’ve become too comfortable with.  A new door never seen before or even whispered about, from academic towers to poverty’s hovels and holes in the ground.  There is more than we will ever know and only seeking eyes will see it.
 
The 182 has always been a path of suffering leading to glory.
Spiritfire has been a path of becoming leading to new creation.
 
As you follow my family and I as we ‘walk on water’ after Jesus, may you also be blessed and…  excited to see what God has in store for you and your family as you are daily carving out your path with Him.

182 Converged with a Gift Idea

The word was yesterday’s ‘V’ word: Voyage.  I had no idea what I was in for as looked up for a verse.  I was immediately sent to a website called “Voyage & Verse”.  A book was on the front page by Jessica Watson, who at the age of 16 sailed by herself around the world.  I thought, “Hey, my daughter’s 16, and she likes to read.”  Watson’s book titled, ‘True Spirit’ seemed full of grit and guts to do the incredible.  I can’t wait for her to read it!

Last Night: God’s Planetary Septet

Last night, 7 planets were in alignment.  If you were able to see them:  knew where to look and knew what you were looking at, then you had the honor of viewing a celestial highlight.  My wife and daughter went outside and took a look.  My wife said, “The stars were very bright.”  I, however, missed it entirely.  

Today, as I think on it, I am reminded of witnessing God do amazing things.  If we are in alignment with His will, we get a chance to witness His heavenly events around the world.  That is where I want to be, and the 182 is helping to keep my gaze upward.
