I wish the Lord himself can write out this section of my blog. He knows me way better than I know myself……..*starts praying for the Holy Spirit to intercede*.
You probably thought I was trying to be funny but I really needed help from the Lord to write this……………okay I was trying to be a little bit funny too. I’ll leave it there haha. But seriously I have a hard time talking about myself. The only way I like to do that is when I talk about what the Lord has done in my life. I had to ask a lot of my friends what to write for this because I wouldn’t even know where to start. But here I go…..
Hi 🙂 My name is Serena pronounced Seh-De-Na or Sir-Reh-Na in english. I spent my whole life having to correct people on my name, I’m sure a lot of you can relate. Thank you Ma for my name but you just had to make it complicated. I blame Americans for pronouncing it like it has two e’s in the middle of it when “Serenity” is completely different. Okay I’m done ranting about that haha. I’m already getting off track from what this is supposed to be about! Okay okay.
My friends came up with the new spelling for my name to have people pronounce it that way and I loved it. I loved it so much I came up with the fun idea to give the videos I make a production name called “a Sehdena production”. I love making videos. One thing my friends know about me is that whenever they see me with a camera out they know it’s not a picture I’m taking but a video. I have thousands of videos on my phone just for the memories like my own little documentary. I know for sure I have enough content to make one! I realized I have a passion for capturing things that people can totally pass by and not think anything of it. I love being able capture something to share with everyone so they can see what I saw. I love filmmaking and telling a story through them. But more than ever I love capturing anything that has to do with light. Ironically enough I lose my phone ALL the time. To the point where I had to write a note in the back of my phone with my mom’s number and my name to tell her that they found my phone. Yes it’s been called a few times. Sorry Ma! It’s a blessing and a curse to be able to detach from my phone once I set it down somewhere. I can go many hours with out noticing I even I lost it. See why it’s a curse haha.
I love music. I love that certain sounds can express what you’re feeling more than words can. Romans 8:26 “In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans.” I believe with music and sounds He can do the same things. I play guitar and a little bit of drums. I’m trying to pick up the wooden flute! A lot of my videos and stories are inspired by the music or sounds I hear. I usually can play out a video in my head to a song I hear and that’s how I put them together. Without the music I really wouldn’t be able to put my videos together.
Everything I love and everything I do, it’s all because of Jesus and who He is within me. I want nothing but for Him to be glorified. I gave my life to the Lord at 15 choosing to live out my faith as the only Christian in my family for a while until my older sister just gave her life to the Lord not too long ago. Praise Jesus! But I’ve come a long way in my journey with him and could honestly say I didn’t truly surrender my whole life to him until recently. You think you do until you really get revelations about what he talks about in Matthew. I have a heck of a testimony and I would love to make a video about it one day but for now I’ll share it whenever the Lord compels me to. If you want to have a little more insight to what I mean about that and how I got to this point in my journey with the Lord and deciding to go on TWR read my blog “Not My Will, But Yours Be Done”. It really shows where my hearts at and what the Lord is doing in my life now.
My goal is everything in me and of me to be of the Lord. To keep being renewed and transformed by him and become more and more like him through his Spirit errrrday maaaan!!!
Thank you for reading if you made it this far 🙂
PS: Guys don’t give up on your family! The Lord can move through even the toughest hearts! Proclaim it over their lives and have faith in the Lord to prevail in them!
