In an effort to secure my dream of becoming a Director/cinematographer I asked God to give me some encouragement. I had been feeling out of my league when it came to film and I thought maybe I would do better at just becoming a photographer. It's not something that I hate doing, I really enjoy it. I've taken thousands of photos and had so much fun with the people and exploring the places. But I know if I made it a career i would hate it and my work wouldn't be as good. Therefore I asked God that if he really wanted me to continue on this road he would have to open some doors and close some doors. The next day my sister received a call from our friend Ricky who was ecstatic with my stop motion project. She told me he wanted to introduce me to Justin Kintzel and the Director of the new film department at Liberty University! I'm completely stoked!! God is sooo good! Seriously I love that he can give this kind of encouragement. But I do have to follow up on all of this to make sure it actually happens. That's the thing, what I really wanted to talk about today. I'm watching all of my brilliant friends get stuck in small towns and losing their zeal for adventure and industry. They are so much more intelligent than they think they are but to put it to good use they need to be able to say goodbye to their friends and family. obviously not forever but it's not like there aren't other amazing people where you are going. There are millions of fantastic people with all sorts of personality traits and wisdom waiting to be your friend. People in your field of work and people who have traveled all over the world with a million stories! If you really want to do something with your life, forget the past! forget the present! start making connections and using the contacts you have to make your life happen (= There is no time like the present to get started. Don't be afraid, seriously if you aren't assertive people won't think you can handle anything haha. Get your name out there. Create something and tell others that it's important. You might even have to tell yourself that its important as well haha. Because if you have insecurities about your work others are going to see that. Be Bold! If you want something perfect take as much time as you need to make it perfect. quality is better. People appreciate hard workers. I'm working really hard to get where I want to be and God is directing my path and encouraging the work that he did in me to be shown in the world.
