March 5th Update

Alrighty, so much has happened since I last posted! As of right now, our filming dates have been moved to May, because of Nick’s schedule. He will actually be in Singapore this March and that is why he won’t be able to give us those specific days. We told him we understood but needed to make sure we had days that could be locked so we could keep moving forward with our fundraising process. He said, “Stephanie, I’m giving you these two days that won’t change!” May 5th and 6th! Praise the Lord! It’s so hard because Nick is gone so much and has soooo many commitments, and truly, he is doing this for us because he believes this is God… but really it’s a sweet favor! It’s also a blessing because it allows us to have more time to raise the funds and prepare and sharpen our outline. The Lord’s timing is absolutely perfect!

Okay, so I've been thinking about who are audience will be with the current direction of this documentary. Instead of it being directed towards just the men in our world I want it to be balanced! Instead of it being the "measure of a man" meaning a male, I'm wanting it to be about man in general. Genesis 1:27 states, "So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them." Mankind! I want men and women to be able to relate to this documentary. I want it to be about the heart, character, integrity of man (men and women)…etc! God looks at the heart! Nick is a picture of what the measure of a man should be! Through society's eyes, Nick is not the ultimate persona of a man. He is not tall, he is not buff, he won't be able to carry his children, hold his wife's hand, run marathons, lift weights, etc. But, it's his heart that truly speaks of the true measure of an individual. It's the Lord reigning on the throne of his heart. It's total surrender to the call and mission that God has appointed him to accomplish. It's deeper than what our physical eyes can see! These are the thoughts that I have relating to the content of this documentary!

Also, we just received word that a sweet friend has donated $1,000 today! We are close to $3,000! We are totally in awe of the Lord right now! God provides when we choose to believe and walk by faith no matter how different our schedule may look right now. We truly could have just quit when we heard that we couldn’t film this month. But instead, we went back to what God had revealed to me last year, in October, when I asked Nick about his project. We both new this project was God. I don’t know what the outcome will be; my expectations are in Christ alone! He’s the one who holds this! Blessed be His mighty and beautiful name!

Our team has changed due to the change of dates. But, the Lord is in control and he will bring together a team who will be united to go to CA and do this in His name! It’s looking like my Mom will now be the Crew Mom, and my brother, Alan, will be going as one of our interviewers!
