Clever titles are just words if they don't have actions

No More Fear.

A few years ago I wrote a blog called "Skydiving is just flying until you step out of the plane" This was actually a very stripped down version of what I had originally wrote.  What I had originally wrote was about taking a step of faith, and not being afraid to have no other option than to see God miraculously provide.  At the time I didn't have the faith to post it, I wrote a smaller, "safer" version.  A version that if God didn't provide wouldn't look bad on me.  Unsurprisingly, I didn't really get the financial abundance I was expecting from God, abundance He was telling me to have faith for and to expect.  I acted timidly.  And I received timidly.  As I read over the original blog, I felt like such a coward.  Here is the God of the universe saying he wants to provide for me a big ways and all He was asking me to do was step out in faith and declare his faithfulness.

No More Fear.

The School of Digital Filmmaking and School of Acting for The Screen starts shortly after I get back from Hawaii.  We have heard from a lot of our students fear of being able to raise money to come and do a school they knew God called them to.  This prevented many from even applying.  Last Tuesday, right before I posted here, I sent a post to the students of the SAS and SDF, I told them:

For those of you who are worried about getting the money to come, in a week I am going to Kona Hawaii to volunteer on a feature. At this point I don't know how I will get there as I am roughly $2000 short of what I need (don't even have plane tickets). In about a week I'll post a picture here from Hawaii. God is faithful, and I know he will follow through with where and how he has called me, and he will follow though with you too.

 After I wrote this I was afraid.  If I didn't get all the money, then I would let down my students.  How would they feel then?  What would their faith do?  God simply smiled at me and said "Let's get to work"  3 days later I bought my plane tickets.  God is faithful.  When you take the big steps, God shows up in big ways.
