I have been taking baby steps to pick up the dream of my heart to be film maker that I had laid down before the Lord to pick of more of Him and His Word so that I would be established in my faith before getting behind a camera. I knew that the Iris Hollywood Artist Boot Camp would be a huge launching into this dream, but I had no idea how huge.
I now live in LA.
Interning with Iris Media.
Working on media projects for the Kingdom of God.
Say what...
Jesus says if you lose your life for Me, you will find it. Matt 10:39. I love how the more I get to know Him, the more I get to know myself. And the more I love to lose my life.
It has been an easy and hard transition into LA. Easy because God has given me amazing roommates to run along side with that I met at the Iris Hollywood boot camp and has allowed me to come here right into family. We have all taken huge steps of faith to come here and serve the Lord through Iris Media. These women are amazing. We are all so thankful to be here in this season and to be there for one another. Making meals together, praying together, encouraging another, and going on this adventure together has been amazing. And it hasn't even been two weeks.The hard part has been a new level of faith and new level of fighting for it.
When I got my final acceptance to the internship, I started packing my bags right away. I didn't have any resources to come but I knew that God would provide. And He did in the 11th hour. Actually exactly 24 hours before I was leaving, what I needed to get here was provided. I had an appointment to rent a car at 1 PM and at 12 noon was handed an envelope with $1,000 cash. And then within the next hours before leaving at 1 PM on Sunday, was given more with love to help on the journey, and also found out that two different friends had paid for hotel rooms for my mother and I.
It was amazing.
The journey here was incredible, the Holy Spirit poured Himself out without measure. The trip was gorgeous, the time with my mother, the time with my friends, seeing the country, was all so wonderful. The Lord was so faithful to bless my mom and I with a great time and great country. Utah is beautiful. The Grand Canyon is amazing. I'm in love with this land.
Since being here it has been a search for what I am doing. At the Iris Hollywood school, they prepared us mentally for the spiritual atmosphere that is over LA. Hollywood and LA hold so much influence over the world and there is a fight for it in the spirit. It's definitely been a battle to remain steadfast knowing that I AM SUPPOSED TO BE HERE. That I am qualified, I am called, and more than a conqueror in Christ Jesus. HALLELUJAH.
The internship is amazing and all that we will be accomplishing is powerful and fierce. I'm so honored to be a part of a team that will be using media to proclaim the Gospel and testify to what the Lord is doing all over the earth with Iris Global.
There are definitely things I am in need of to pray for. I have been sleeping on a mini futon in the corner of the living room, so a bed would be FABULOUS but there God gives grace to abound in little. I also could definitely use a bike to get around since I don't have a car, we have been walking lots and lots which is great but a bike would be useful when in time crunches. I am also seeking the Lord for the right job or the right provision that I can give more of my time to the many projects we have with Iris Media. We are also going to Mozambique this summer with the internship and am seeking God for how I am to be obedient to Him in that. So if you could pray for me and believe God with me! I know if I seek Him first all things I need will be provided.
Thank you so much for reading this update and what God is doing in my life. I love you all so much. Please let me know what you think and what you are hearing from the Lord for me!!
Love love love to you!! A video soon to come!!
