First
Draft of the Freedom ART Project Online SRS (System Requirements
Specifications) and flow chart has been completed. Meetings
ensue with Jack regarding the functionality of the site
and the change that the site has taken since studying the
Microsoft model.
What
has resulted from this is a new animal. And I mean an animal
seeking to be fed, seeking family, offering to be a mascot,
an ally, a friend. The web site has become a separate living
entity from the Freedom ART Project and even, in some ways,
separate from myself. It is still in the developmental stage,
however, the main focus has shifted off of me and the ART
of the Project, and shifted to Glorifying God and developing
a faith filled community online.. The idea is to use the
Freedom ART Project and my life as a vehicle - as one more
example of God's activity in our lives. The difference in
this example is that it will be ongoing and close to real-time.
Part of this is to reveal myself as an ordinary person,
walking with God yet often tempted by the world to places
of doubt and even personal failure. To show God's Grace
and Mercy through this unfolding journey. To show His triumphs.
A journey I am hoping that others will relate to with their
own personal walk with God. And for those who have not come
to know our Lord, may they come to see that we are all children
of a personal and interactive caring God - well, let's watch
His hand in action. The site is for believer and nonbeliever
alike.
Plans
for the site are to invite others with callings to share
the ways that their lives have been touched and guided by
God - as a way to celebrate together how God reveals Himself
to the world today (as He chose the Israelites as His chosen
people through whom He would reveal Himself to the World,
as one God, as He blessed them with His Grace, as He still
interacts with His creation - as "He became flesh and
dwelt among us" (John 1:14) - as we are to serve as
lights to the world (Mat 5:14-16) in our love and reliance
on Him and His Holy Spirit.
The
Freedom ART Project Online is planned to include contributions
from Pastors and Theologians and experts in their fields
to discussing FAITH as it is found through out the Bible,
and / or essential themes of the Biblical books. There will
be a section in phase two of the site development (2002)
called Walks of Faith which promises to be quite communal
and inspirational.
All
in all, this is meant to be a site where we can witness
the Spirit moving, and restore our faith when we fill that
God has been absent from our life. I am hoping that this
will become a place where we will feel free to be real,
to share our love, and pay tribute to His Love. I will start
it with how God is moving in my life, my strength my weakness,
God's molding and growing and revelation. The rest will
be up to ... you.
