I’ve been meaning to post an update about whats been going on as of late. For those of you that don’t know, I’ve recently moved to California for two reasons. To pursue work in the Film Industry to be “Salt and Light” to the film crews out in the trenches. The other reason, was to come out to Simi Valley and get plugged into Cornerstone Church.
God has really been blessing me tremendously and has given me alot of early confirmations and successes. I could write a novel about these last two months, but I’d think it’d be more fun if I list off (in no particular order) what all God has done with my life in my first two months in California. (Some of these are pretty ridiculous)
Got my first film gig via CraigsList in under 5 minutes
Watch God save (dude was dead!) and transform a homeless man with no prospects
Arrived at Cornerstone Church right as Francis Chan announced God was calling him away
I know people at Panavision and Warner Bros now (crazy!)
Got promoted from Production Assistant, to Grip & Electric, to Head Editor on my first California film.
God provided an amazing apartment in Bakersfield
Set up my first C-Stand and Flag
Seen giving a bottle of water and a prayer to a homeless person, can actually change their life
Seen over 100+ people baptisted at Hingepoint & Cornerstone combined.
Francis Chan crossed his arms and squinted at me
Working as an Assistant Camera Operator on a RED Feature film in Bakersfield in July
Successfully navigated LA traffic
Got to thank the guy (Jeff Henson) that makes the Cornerstone Podcasts
Watched God grow His church in Bakersfield!
Edited with one of the camera guys from Boston Legal
Watch God provide over $10,000 dollars to Single Moms in Bakersfield through Hingepoint Church
Slept in my truck on set
Survived a 2500 mile journey by myself
Recorded a soundtrack to a short film
Crashed and temporarily lost my Kombat 40 in alfalfa field
I got to edited Chan Sermons and shoot footage for a Cornerstone video
God provided a new apartment in Simi Valley, which I’ll be moving into in August
And at the end of it all, I’m watching God humble me and break me.
Proving that He really does know what He’s doing…
Thank you Jesus
