Hello again everyone!
Well this blog post is gonna be pretty much different from my previous blogs, simply because I want to talk about the Christian walk. Today, we live in a world full of chaos, disaster, troubles, trials, you name it. And it's because of this that we at times fear and stress. To sum it all up it's basically a world full of sin. For us Christians, it's extremely hard for us to go through the world of sin without God's help and guidance in our lives.
When Jesus was on this earth, He too, faced difficulties and challenges during his days here on earth. Jesus, Himself, needed God's guidance and direction in order to successfully complete his mission here on earth. So what did Jesus do to gain strength for the challenges ahead? If you look in Matthew 14:22-25 of the Bible, it says that after He dismissed the crowd, He went up to a mountainside to pray. He took time away from the issues He faced and went to a remote place where He could spend quality time with God....ALONE... That's the key aspect to the spiritual strength that Jesus needed to move on with life.
And by doing so, He also set an example for us today, that we should take time daily to spend time with God, one-on-one, away from worldly issues! By doing this we can find peace through the quiet assurance through God's presence. And that's definitely something that will definitely keep us going. So before Jesus comes again, let's get into the daily habit of spending time away from the worldly issues, and commune with God because it's through this and this alone that will solve our problems, our fears, and our stress with the world!
This is basically what I'll be teaching for Youth Sabbath School this Saturday! Apply this lesson to your daily lives! This is something I DEFINITELY need and I believe YOU need to!
God bless!

David Jolly's First OFFICIAL Music Video
Hello again everyone! Justin here...
After 2 months of production (delays mostly because of unpredictable Florida weather -_-), I've finally completed David's very first music video of his original, "I Want You."
Before summer started, David contacted me and asked if we could do a music video for one of his originals and I eagerly agreed to help him out with this project.
David's really has a passion for music, and I believe that he should be recognized for it, which was one of the top reasons why I helped him create his first music video. He was definitely a great person to work with! ^_^
There were some downfalls to this video production and the main downfall is...yep....rain....This summer, I've experienced the most stormy summer season I've seen for Florida. For weeks the weather can stay cloudy, dark, and rainy. Worst of all, the weather here can be unpredictable. One moment the weather seems nice and decent, the next couple hours, a huge storm appears and the day is already over... This was the main reason why production on this music video was delayed for weeks. But luckily, there were a "few" days where the weather and the lighting outside is just right enough to at least do a video shoot. Fortunately, despite the weather conditions, we were able to take advantage of every opportunity.
On the last final day of the shoot, there was a HUGE storm system that seemingly was heading right for us, but we raced against time to finish up. But by the time we finished were about to leave, all of a sudden, the storm system moved in a different direction and the sun was finally out again. I couldn't believe it...right when we leave, the weather all of a sudden gets better. So we decided to turn back and redo the video shoots of the day, which turned out pretty good!
Ahh well I'm finally relieved that it's done, and now I can move on to my next video project, which happens to be another music video for one of my closest friends. More info about that coming soon.
Till next time!
