Blogging, like journaling , are for me anything but a consistent process.

Since school has ended I have worked on several films and even an MTV show. All in all work has been slow and not even close to being able to support my family. Granted, I am not even a year out of film school, but I had hoped that things would be better than they have been.

The last few months have been especially hard. We lost a child and nearly lost Kate as well. Experiencing an ectopic pregnancy is much worse than hearing about it. In addition, there was family friction that added to the heartbreak and loss. Please pray for us.

God provides his manna for the day and we are doing our best to let that be enough. I wish I could say that trusting in God alone was a joyous and easy thing for me, but my will is proving quite hard to surrender. I am a father and husband after all and it’s my responsibility to provide and protect. Of course I can do none of those things with any lasting effect and it is only through Christ who strengthens me that I can do anything at all. But knowing the truth and living the truth in word and deed are two very separate things.

I have work for today and I am grateful. Give us this day our daily bread.

Peace
