I managed to catch a breath from all the heaviness of work and 'assignments'.
Hello people out there? Anyone still out here? Oh, almost became a dead man's land... I'm sorry. Been away too long. I had to get away from blogging for awhile... needed to get REAL DEEP with God.
And God's been showing me so many things... and here I am... a work in process.
So says my MSN nick:
"was pregnant with vision. vision's been birth... now's only the beginning.."
My MSN personal message nick:
"mission: back to intimacy . training ground: media production . battle: the desire"
Was Pregnant with Vision:
Remember how I used to mention my burden for the media and entertainment industry?
I always had a burden and desire to see more and more productions.... more... and to be able to be of USE to God's Kingdom in this area...
Vision's Been Birth:
This year, as I was penning down my new year resolutions, one of them was to improve my media production skills... with the little that I had and trusting God to provide more.
I've been asked to make my first video for a Church event!! And... it's completed. I'm amazed... I almost gave up... I felt hopeless and helpless.. I got away from my computer and was literally on the begging need for Jesus to intervene. I needed to see where God was taking this to...
I was on the verge of giving up! I went to Church on Sunday with a utterly disappointed spirit. But as the service came to an end, Atieno walked up to me and we talked about one of the videos that we were created (my 2nd church video, but that, on a later note)... so... she said she was praying and sensed that God was going to use us, and see our faithfulness in doing what we have on our side. And God was REVEALING and FILLING THE GAPS for us.
Guess what... right after she told me that... I walked away and spoke to PS... and in my helplessness, I asked, "Do you know anyone who does video production in church?"
Cut the long story short, God sent Eddie to me... and he came to my place with Yvonne to look at what I've done so far. For some reason, I thought it was horrible... but he said, "It's actually really good."
I was surprised... somehow, when I was doing it, I felt like I was clouded by disappointment. But I couldn't get some of the effects that I wanted, and Eddie was able to direct me to the relevant places to get them... and he even introduced me to some awesome tools that was so USEFUL!!!
He also discovered some effects that I wanted that was in my software that I never realised it was there!!
PRAISE GOD! When he left, I felt so encouraged, I finished the whole video in the next 2 hours... and it was completed. I slept late that night, but it was finished. My first Church video assignment... wholly God's work in it... cuz when I looked back at where I began... and the resources I had... I thought it wasn't gonna work out.
God has His way of humbling me... and I found myself at His feet crying for His help in His calling.
I'm so happy right now - I'm filled with joy. I pray this video will be able to be a starting point, an impact to all the viewers.
It's not so much about this video... but it's really an affirmation of God's promises.
And I also knew how much the enemy worked his way into deceiving me that I was unable to do it... that I was exceling at nothing. Away from me, Satan~! Jesus RULES AND REIGNS!
Now's Only The Beginning
Yes... one production sparked the first sign of the promises of God. My next assignment is due next Friday... that'll be a second production in progress... I don't know how it's going to work. I'm waiting for God to lead it somewhere too.
For one thing, I know... it's not all MY effort... but it's God work.. and teamwork with other people whom God is revealing to me one by one.... the best work will never be produced by myself... but only by the BODY OF CHRIST - each fulfilling their own purpose and calling.
God... take this somewhere!
Can y'all please pray for me too? :) Hee...
