Recently I began to venture into the world of video creation using iMovie. It has been a great new creative outlet, as I often see pictures in my head of what I write about in songs, chords, and notes using my voice and the guitar or piano.
It has also been challenging as I have faced some limitations of the program against what my mind thinks should happen on the screen. This, of course, could actually be remedied by purchasing a much more powerful and more expensive program – but my lack of gainful employment at this time makes that kind of thing difficult to accomplish.
As with all things lately, this has been something inspired by my pursuit of what God wants me to do and His will for my life. I believe that may be the case (and should be for all of us) regarding everything I do for the remainder of my days on this earth. Every aspect of my activities, behavior, thought, speech and interactions with others should be an act of worship. It is amazing to realize God knew me before I was formed and He knows the number of hairs on my head. It is astounding to realize He allows us to worship Him in so many ways.
With all of this awe and amazement at God's wonder filling my head, it is difficult to condense information and ideas into a video that does not last more than three days... Learning to make videos is absolutely a blast and I fortunately have some friends who have vast experience I can turn to for advice and assistance. I am looking forward to seeing where this new aspect might lead and what God does through me and with me in this process.
God is active, and I have been blessed enough to notice and recall how active He is in my life during the recent weeks and months. I met with the associate pastor at my church the other day, and suddenly realized everything I mentioned was something I know God was orchestrating to further His will in my life, to further the advancement of His kingdom, and to teach me. I just have to be willing to keep walking forward when God says "Go."
I still do not know what I am supposed to “be when I grow up,” but I know who I am right now and who I will always be; a child of God, ransomed from the wages of sin and an eternity without Him. It is amazing that I have been given such amazing gifts and the desire to use them for the right reasons.
