I've been at Action House for about a week now and I'm ready for a break :). So much responsibility. I really don't want to leave, but stuff has been kind of tough. I've been thrown onto projects that are half done or just broken. So, working on an episode if a TV show that hasn't been completed makes it twice as hard. Mostly because you haven't been the one working on it all the time so you don't know what's done and what needs to be done. Action House did an illustrated sermon last Sunday. It was AMAZING. Hopefully when we get the footage I'll be able to post it here. I ran spotlight for it. I'm overseeing everything to do with the show. Whic means that I direct the shoots, oversee the editing of the footage and finalize everything. It also means that I'm responisble of if a show goes out with a mistake, which is alright with me. I love doin this stuff. I also fix all the computer problems. After dealing with the inital chaos and tiny stuff for about a week it's become more manageable. God is amazing. And I read something the other day in my Bible about if you are thrown down upon the rock of God you shatter, but if the rock of God comes upon you then you are crushed. It's and awesome thought that we can be broken by throwing ourselves upon the rock of God. I pray that God allow my "self" to be broken upon him. I pray that I am not crushed. -BRiAN

Pastor Manny e-mailed me something today. I'd like to share it with you because it's powerfull. From Pastor Manny: If my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and pray and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land. (II Chronicles 7:10) My people…Called by his name: Remember you are his even in your worst failure, and in your most difficult struggle he will not disown you. Don’t give up instead look up. Humble themselves: Some changes will not happen unless you fast. Especially in areas where the enemy has established a stronghold in our lives like a bad habit, a bad temper, a depressed spirit, or even in actions or words we know are not appropriate. Fast a meal once a week, or once a month fast a morning or an evening spending the meal times in prayer. Pray: Time with God involves listening to his word, trusting yourself to him, obeying his Spirit, and blessing God, those around you, and be a blessing to yourself. Time with God will result in raising your valleys. Seek my face: Getting God’s attention is so much better than God getting our attention. He will meet us and address areas of concern. He meets us not to condemn but to bring a change of heart. Turn from their wicked ways: When your heart begins to turn back, you know you have God’s attention and he is addressing the area of concern. Repentance is a gift that God gives to a broken and contrite heart. Not Oops I got caught! But God I caused pain to you, to others and to myself and I don’t want to cause this pain anymore. Then I will hear from heaven: God does answer the penitent heart. A person that acknowledges their need to change God will answer. I will forgive their sin: Our “sin” nature is to ignore God, not trust him with our issues, and not invite him to be with us, and the result is we do cause pain instead of blessing. The good news is that in Jesus and him crucified there is forgiveness available. We do not have to remain bound in that prison of pain. He sets us free. I will heal their land: God’s healing has to do with wholeness and integrity. The land receives the rain, the soil produces the grain, the grain multiplies and there is a great harvest. Abundance, joy, health, is a product of God’s blessing. God’s blessings should result in holiness: Choosing to serve God with joy.

I just got off the phone with Barbara at Brooks. She said that she was "not happy" and I'll "probbably never have another chance to get into Brooks." and although that sounds terrible, I feel really good about it. I'm at Action House now working on projects and feeling good about where I am. I can't wait to see what God does now.

I'm not going to Brooks. I'm staying in L.A.

... I'm in L.A., it's cool.

On my way to adventure!

After I post this, I am going to go out and throw away crap that has been in my shed for over a year. I should just light the thing on fire, but Jeff wouldn't like that. Then, I pack up my clothes. THEN I pack up my three pieces of furniture. I move out either tonight or tomorrow afternoon. *sigh* -BRiAN P.S. Thanks for the kind e-mail, Sonia. Comment sometime and lemme know you're here ;)

I move out Wednesday. I see my landlord tomorrow. I'm gone on the 13th.

The last showing of "Funny Girl" was last night. Funny Girl has been by far the best show I have been involved with. In the cast of thirty or so, there were maybe two people that were mildy annoying. Other than that, awesome cast. So, here's the plan. I leave Atascadero the 13th, arrive in L.A. do God knows what (literally) there. Move into my apartment the 28th, orientation starts the 31st and classes start on the 3rd. I'm all setup with a 14 FREAKING PERCENT interest rate for my $31,000 a YEAR LOAN! AHH! It's ok, this is what I want to do. It's so what I want to do that I'm moving out on Wednesday. Maybe I didn't hear me, I'm MOVING OUT ON WEDNESDAY. Like, back with my mom. Only for a few days, though. -BRiAN

YAY!

Oh, it's OOOOON BABY! I just got an e-mail from Action House saying it "looks good" for October 13th - 27th. YAY! Now to pack, move out, get my deposit, clear everything up blah blah. Let's rock and roll! October was either going to be a very SLOOOOW month or a fast month. Looks like things are on the fast lane. -BRiAN

With the way things are looking now, it seems I'm going to be off to L.A. instead of Peru. The people in Peru just aren't keeping up with my correspondance. I'm in the process of sending e-mails back and forth with the Action House headquarters in Los Angeles. It looks like I may spend Oct 13th - 27th with them. We'll see. -BRiAN
