I originally started this blog because I wanted a place to vent all the fun and frustrations associated with making what I call movies. It is actually taking my photographs, adding music, transitions, journaling and burning it on a DVD. Movie making is my favorite hobby these days; I can spend hours working on the smallest details of each slide.
My family reunion and finding my mom's hand written book made me see the importance of leaving a record of my time here on this earth. I treasure Mom's book and can only hope my family members will find my story half as interesting.
But then I noticed that no matter what I tried to write, it ended up in some way involving my walk with God. After struggling with this a bit, I have surrendered. Walking with God isn't only what I do, it is who I am. It is impossible to separate what I do from who I am - a child of God.
As a result, I have a new challenge. I want to write about daily life, relationships, good times, not so good times in order to show God's presence in our everyday life. Emmanuel, God with us. And He is with us in every aspect of our lives, through every valley and up every mountain of course, but also in the daily activities that take up the majority of our time. He is interested in everything we put our hands to; even making movies, even leaving our story for others who come along behind us.
He will never leave us nor forsake us and He is a Friend that sticks closer than a brother.
