On my way home from work today, I had a phone conversation with my mother. During our chat, she asked me about my life, my new job, and all the essential motherly questions. I also told her about the film projects I’ve been working on, including an professional internship offer for later this summer. After assuring her that I was making enough money to buy groceries, which are an unbelievable burden on my bank account (thanks, real world), she remarked that it’s amazing how God keeps opening doors in my life. There was a pause before I could respond. This statement really hit me.
God is awesome, truly, literally, awe-inspiringly awesome.
I can see the path that has been set before me, and I’m so thankful for all the gifts, opportunities, and support that God has given me. The combination of my new job with Lipscomb University’s Department of Communication & the fresh arrival of “Life” and “Yellowstone” on blu-ray have me more focused than ever to dominate this upcoming graduate school exam and mortar some legitimacy into my fresh career as a filmmaker.
Through the course of 2010, God has continued to open doors for my future. For the first time in my life, I really have a vision of where my journey is leading. I can’t be sure if I’ll wind up landing on the East coast or the West. Who knows if I’ll be practicing my craft along the Potomac, in the breeze of the Pacific, or the foothills of the Rockies. Heck, who’s to even say what colors my future flag will hold. I can’t even pretend to have all the answers, but I know I’m focused and prepared for what may come.
I’m thankful to see that God is opening doors.
