Over the course of these past two weeks, I’ve had the privilege of putting my talent and passion for videography into practice in new ways. As some of you may know I have a YouTube channel where I mainly just do vlogs. I have seen how God is and wants to use that as ministry to bring Him glory. One thing that has constantly held me back though, has been worrying what others think or say when I’m filming. I have allowed that fear to keep me from further branching out and stepping into more uncomfortable situations with videography. That fear I have held on to for so long also bread doubt in the ability God has given me to create. God has given me crazy ideas, but I have procrastinated because I didn’t feel that people would understand and accept the vision God has put in front of me. I no longer want to live in that fear and doubt because it is just the devil wanting to keep me down. I would much rather choose to be firm in my identity and who God has made me to be. Something God has been teaching me lately is that in order to see the things I desire to happen, I must be be bold and voice those desires. For those things to come true, I must stand up and take action. I can’t wait around for God to put it in my lap. Yes God is our provider who wants to bless us with amazing things, but He also wants to empower us to take our lives and fulfill our callings. God has created each and every one of us with a purpose and calling, but in order to fulfill that; we must step up. Through Him we have the authority to be bold in the things He places on our hearts. Since I have begun to realize this and take authority over my circumstances, I have had some crazy opportunities come up. Instead of sitting around upset about what I wasn’t seeing happen, I decided to take a step to see what I could make happen. Through simply stepping out on faith, God has catered to these things I wanted to see happen more than I thought would have even been possible. Behind the camera I have been able to meet and interview several people and hear their stories and hearts for Costa Rica. Now me and my storytelling partner Izzy are working to put the finishing touches on what we are hoping will be some really awesome videos. Hopefully we will be able to share something with you soon. With that I would like to ask anyone who reads this a few questions.
1. What dreams or desires make you come alive?
2. How can you serve God with those dreams?
3. What is holding you back from stepping in to those desires?
