He brought me out of Egypt to the promised land.

And it really is the promised land.

No, I don’t know how things will really turn out. But I have more faith, more hope, more trust and joy than I could have thought possible.

And I am discovering that even the things I love, the passions I have, they are expanding too, along with the faith and trust and hope.

There’s more to me, too. I don’t JUST want to write (I will write, I must write, but I want to do more too).

I want to see people reach their true potential. I want to see people rise from the dust of their lives and face the sun, face the truth of who they are, the best of themselves. I want to see the world changed by people waking up and being emboldened to live gloriously, unselfishly, not settling for ordinary but fighting for extraordinary and positive change.

Maybe I’m just a dreamer.

But it’s a lovely dream. Don’t you think?

Today when I awoke I had to fight again to keep the hopeful feelings going. Sometimes facing the unknown is really hard. Especially when you know the journey is not likely to be predictable.

It will take dedication, perseverance… trust.

I’ve begun to re-write my most recent short film in the hopes of telling it better. I want to ensure that the artsiness of it does not take away from telling a good & moving story. I have a talent for imagery, and am determined to combine this with good narrative. I really want this film to be one that will move people, and that is also doable, shootable with a low budget.

It’s an interesting process. All of this. Daily I feel simultaneously equipped, ready, full of purpose, and useless, unprepared.

But I can’t seem to help it. Where I am on this journey? It’s crazy. I am birthing so much. I can feel it all kicking and urgent in my belly and soul. The need to write better than I have ever written. To be a leader. To communicate truth. To pray and fight. And hope.

To step into full capacity in all things.

It is overwhelming at times. But with God’s help, I will succeed. I have to.

This time is what I was created for, what I have longed for.

I am flying. And I pray I have what it takes, with His help, to step into destiny properly, knowing that even if I fail I will still have my identity, but also that in some sense failure is not an option…

Once the birthing process begins, it cannot be stopped. It is inevitable.
