“Inspired by God”

Dr. Javnyuy Joybert, CIO (Chief Inspiration Officer)
Javnyuy Joybert fought depression after graduating from high school with no clear goals, no clear path forward. He and his mother couldn’t afford college. But within this search to move forward, Javnyuy found a “spark” as he called it. He decided to become his own CIO — Chief Inspiration Officer.

Javnyuy started working odd jobs to earn money. He worked in construction, at a car wash, being a motorcycle courier, working in bakeries, bar tending — in short, anything and everything he could get work at. He earned enough to apply to a university. He went on to go to college, to earn a doctorate degree in business administration, entrepreneurship and investments; and he suggests that hiring yourself as your own CIO is something everyone needs to do.

He says he was “inspired by god” to pursue a positive future.

The “Jesus Revolution”

Published on by GMHLeave a comment

Released on Feb. 24, 2023, the film, “Jesus Revolution,” has very quietly slipped into movie theaters throughout the US. It’s not a documentary, but it’s based on the true story of the 1970s events in which Greg Laurie and a sea of young people descend on sunny Southern California to redefine truth through all means of liberation. Inadvertently, Laurie meets a charismatic street preacher and a pastor who open the doors to a church to a stream of wandering youth. What unfolds is a counterculture movement that becomes the greatest spiritual awakening in American history.

Allison Rizzolo

From TV station KVUE in Austin, Texas comes the story of Allison Rizzolo, who was in a bad crash and needed a blood transfusion from a donor. Now she donates blood and hopes to inspire others to give.

Allison was in a road rage incident while on her way to work. She said a car sped up to get in front of her, cut her off, and hit the brakes. Allison’s car crashed into the back of the car, and her car flipped five times. She says she is lucky to be alive after losing half her blood volume in the aftermath of the accident.

“I just lost blood so quickly and so fast. I was, fortunately, able to get to be transported to the hospital very quickly, and they were able to give me that transfusion and enable me to survive,” she said.

Now she hopes to inspire others to be blood donors, knowing it can be life-saving. It was for her.

Little Leaguer Hit By Pitch Consoles Pitcher

See story, video clip at ESPN

Well, it doesn’t get much more inspiring than this. If you pay attention to news or sports, you probably have seen this moment, when Texas East Little League pitcher Kaiden Shelton becomes visibly upset after hitting Oklahoma Little League batter Isaiah Jarvis in the head. In a lesson many can learn from, Isaiah shows incredible sportsmanship by walking to the pitcher’s mound from first base to console Kaiden.

Isaiah noticed Kaiden was upset by the errant pitch and was crying. Isaiah walked over and started talking to Kaiden and embracing him trying to let him know he was OK. Others, including Kaiden’s coach came to the mound to show support and the coach, who was miked up for the game could be heard saying, “Look at me. You’re alright …” Kaiden can be heard sobbing.

We’re inspired by Isaiah’s sportsmanship, and his actions in trying to comfort Kaiden. That’s why we’re memorializing this little story.

As far as the game went, Texas East ultimately won, 9-4. But that’s not the important part of this game. It’s the display of sportsmanship by Isaiah. Way to go, Isaiah.

We think doctors can at times be miracle workers. We don’t disparage them at all. But in Natalie’s case, her parents didn’t want the doctors to define Natalie’s outcome from a medical spinal cord issue by limiting her to their admonition that she never would walk again. Said Natalie’s mother:

“Doctors are not God. They are human just like all of us. They make mistakes and they cannot tell what the future holds. Don’t ever give up on yourself or your child.”

In this story from the Epoch Times, you’ll also find a compelling video of Natalie walking in a therapy session.

We’re almost at a loss for words after seeing this amazing story. Almost. Two words come immediately to mind, though” GO NATALIE!
