Satisfied Series + Live for God

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DLHUfujXVzc

Phil asked me to join him on his journey to discover on how to live for God. Sometimes we find that as much as we desire to live for God, there are some areas in our life that don't really translate that idea in a satisfying way. Phil is a pharmacist technician, and he told me that as much as he tried to live for God with his job... he couldn't see how he, as a pharmacist technician, could be for God. And so he decided instead of trying to focus on living for God through his job he would try his best at every other area in his life. And that mindset began to open doors.

Enter "Come Passion"

Phil realized he had a lot of talented friends and he brought some of them together to do an event. By no means am I saying that events are the end all externalization of living for God, but I feel that a praise night is a non threatening way to invite people and spark interest. As we brain stormed we decided that we wanted to theme the evening around the question "Are you satisfied?"

In this video Ashley is a high school senior (now graduated), and she shared some of her journey with us. She reminds me that living for God can be an active, and that through trusting in Christ we can develop confidence.

Boondocks + Far East Movement

I saw far east movement while they were at their music video shoot for like a g6. That song is pretty bumping, so I can't wait to see it.

But the cool thing is I made it to their blog!! Whoo!

Internship Happenings + hip hop rappers

Well, it's been a grind but very enjoyable. I thank God for all the doors he has opened. I been shooting and editing video. Sometimes with known or lesser known celebrities, but it's definitely a unique experience. Here is something that they just put online.

The psychological struggle between feeling satisfied and unsatisfied has been a constant for me. I understand the importance of having a humble attitude of thanksgiving. But at the same time we should also desire more for our life. We should strive for better, and not be complacent in our current situation. So what's next? Happy Easter!

Aspirations + Kid Cudi + Snoop

I feel real tired. And it's not the sleepy or weak tired. But it's the I feel emotionally and psychologically drained tired. And to be honest, I can't put my finger on why. It's about 2:30am, and I just got back from a music video shoot with Snoop and Kid Cudi. How cool is that? Not gonna lie, it's pretty cool. Considering I idolized Kid Cudi last year, and Snoop Dogg is basically the uncle of west coast rap, it's pretty dang cool. I got to shoot some behind the scenes stuff and got to see them just chillin. But why is it that I don't feel the hype? Why is it I feel unsatisfied, anxious, and tired?

Maybe, I need a break. One of my favorite movies of all time is Collateral. In the film Jamie Foxx is a taxi driver, and he gives a ride to the stressed out lawyer played by Jada Pinkett Smith. In one scene Jamie's character tells Jada that she needs a break. He tells her that she is going to go crazy if she doesn't just relax and do nothing. It's hard to ask for a break when you just had a year long break which only ended three weeks ago. I feel guilty just considering it. But maybe I need to take a psychological break. I do feel like my desires or aspiration create certain expectations which I place on myself. And maybe those expectations are just squeezing me dry. I wonder if this the path that God wanted me to take. It seems like He closed certain doors, and He opened this door. I believe in the sovereignty of God, and I would like to think that I have given Jesus Lordship over my life. I don't feel like I am consciously disobeying him or rebelling against his will. But why don't I feel satisfied?

My friend told me I need to have more faith. I think he is right. I do need more faith. And maybe through more faith I will experience more peace. But the journey continues, and the grind doesn't stop. When I step back, I do see the many blessings in my life. That should be enough proof for me to believe that God has a plan for me. I still do believe, but I really want to see how this all pans out. Sorry, no pics on this post. I'll be adding a lot more stuff in the future. Also check out Snoop Dogg featuring Kid Cudi's new track "that tree." It's about remember where you came from, remembering your family.
