so i am just relaxing and resting in God's control right now...its a beautiful thing. :) really good...for some reason, the word "elation" comes to mind as to my mood right now...? i dont even know if i know what that means.
so we are putting together a video for this coming sunday's service at church. and its been such a crazy time and really - sarah and i have known what we want to do for awhile and somehow it really just snuck up on us...but God woke us up and motivated us just in time and in classic jillian/sarah style we met up one day and somehow it all came together.
and truly, God just wrote the whole thing. it came out, quick and God put all the words there and provided wisdom from a certain husband of sarah's to help us with the man's character's words...(who knew women tended to be more wordy?). but it all came together.
and thinking we had gone the easiest route with a video we weren't worried about putting it together. but for some reason...not something we would ever normally do...on sunday morning we decided to ask a guy who knows video about a camera question...and found out that we need someone to run sound, or it won't work.
and miracle upon all miracles - one of them was free the night we needed (HUGE thank you to Jon Meester!!!).
SO...God just had us ask, otherwise, it absolutely would not have worked. it just wouldn't have because we would never have known.
so He took care of that, and then we got the scripts to the 3 involved kind of late (if they read this, they're gonna say kind of?????...haha) not real long scripts, but still need to at least kind of memorize, so we were a little worried about that. i spend most of the day just PRAYING that God would take over the filming and just give them the right words and all of that.
and after a little confusion and figuring stuff out - we did it. and abbie, joseph and missy did an amazing job...love the talent in them. such a blessing to watch God work and use His gifts. and Emmanuil and Jon took over filming...and did a GREAT job. also love watching God provide ways to learn and teach His gifts. so great. and in not a lot of time, the video was filmed. and all we need to do now is edit!
so crazy how it all just WORKED. God is so in control. and its such a blessing to realize when He is working like this because that is when you KNOW that its God's. that He wants it to happen, that its His work, because He is making sure it gets done.
so beautiful and i just LOVE it.
so pray for us as we edit and finalize this thing...not a lot of time, but it'll be fine. i'm not worried because God is taking care of it! this is His project and i am just going to let Him take over...and show us His amazing creativity!
i love this team, i love seeing gifts used, i love seeing people see God work...
