Artist Block... "and we're rolling!!!!"

There's something mildly off-key about my thought process.
It's seeking, searching, freaking out!!! I need some way of expressing this compression of hunger to create something brilliant.

The problem, I have no idea what that certain expression is supposed to be, or what it should consist of or what opportunity will lead to that perfect element of my brand new source of artistry.

Madness. Madness I say! My brain is going a million miles an hour... so fast, but somehow I am able to sit still, leveling out this high of vibration to sit and blog about it.

It can be frustrating. Writer's block. Artists' block. Mind Block. Grrrr. At least I have something going for me.

I'm seeking, searching, yearning. I don't really have that amazing lead role in the most famous show or film, but I do have the same passion that I would if I did have that amazing opportunity. Freedom to express. Freedom to fulfill my dreams by means of working in the business that impacts the entire world.

Speaking of influence....my friend is an actress in the upcoming Indie Film entitled "God's Country." A faith based film with a strong crew and beautiful cast.
The intensity of spiritual warfare is escalating ever so quickly.

I was working on this untitled film on Hollywood Blvd last week... and while we were there an actual shooting went down at the intersection of Hollywood and Vine.




Whoa. Talk about the defense of the enemy. Crazy. What this means is a calling for offense! There's no fear allowed in this game plan. I'm talking about the necessity of prayer, and waiting on what God will have us do. I will tell you this...

GOD WANTS US TO KEEP WALKING DURING TRIALS. IT'S THE ENEMY THAT WANTS TO SLOW US DOWN.

Even Jesus said "Hey, let the dead bury the dead. Get up and follow me."

It's obvious, the enemy is trying to throw as many booby-traps in the way of this film as he possibly can. He's doing just as David said he would... "That darn debil is gonna kill and destroy."

But as I was told in Brazil by an old woman...83 years old.... "The enemy is going to try and kill you, but do not be afraid. The blood of Jesus covers your life."

Obviously... I'm not dead. I guess I'm on a good path! What this path entails is a hungry appetite of love satisfied by the grace and nutritious blessing of God's word.

READ IT!!! First, I have to be interested in what God wants to do...even if it means dragging my lazy butt out of bed to read something.

It's intense... and I will say it might sound religious.... that is if the only thing you do is read.

There's a difference between reading and conversing.

I used to think praying was like leaving a voicemail for God and he would eventually respond. Now I know that it's like sending a text message, and there is instant response. In fact, God is always waiting for a text. ALWAYS.
