Just Sayin'...

Not just Chris Hemsworth.  But Chris Hemsworth playing Thor.  Full of pictures of him looking sexy as Thor in both the Thor movie and The Avengers.

Does such a tumblr exist?

So one reason God does awesome things in people’s lives is so that people can see Him through that and thus be glorified, correct?  So I have a story.

It goes back to two Sundays ago.  After church but before another obligation we had, Nina and I were chilling at a Coffee Bean in Studio City, and we started talking about a screenplay she’s working on (oh, gosh, that sounds so Hollywood haha).  And I was offering some input, suggestions, advice, what have you, and as we were talking her ideas out, I realized - I really like doing that.  Helping out people with their writing.  I’ve done it a few times before, and it just really resonates with me.  It kind of just comes naturally.

Also around this time, God has been showing me that I need to pray waaay more than I did - in fact, it was confirmed in that Sunday’s sermon.  So in addition to praying that night (which I do do consistently), I wrote out a prayer list and resolved that the next morning, I would start out my morning with two hours of prayer and fellowship with God.

That morning, one of the prayers I prayed was that God would give me more opportunities to do what I had done with Nina the afternoon before - talk with people about their writing, be able to offer input, etc etc.  It was a distinct prayer.  One I had written down, then prayed out.

Now pause.   Rewind back to the week before.  One of our roommate’s moved out, and our next roommate was not to move in for another 2 weeks.  As fate would have it, a girl (well, woman) who needed a place to stay for that exact 2 weeks was brought around.  So she moved in.

We get to talking - she’s doing the exact same sort of thing I’m doing, industry wise.  Producing, writing a faith-based comedy film.  And our overall vision for mission in Hollywood was just the same.  Which was cool.

But then we get to Monday night - after I spent two hours praying.  Our new roommate has a great opportunity to get the movie she’s working on made - but she needs the screenplay written STAT.  She knows the general gist of what she wants to happen in the movie, has a few, out-of-order scenes written, but never has written a screenplay before.  And needs it finished in one week.

I don’t know if any of you have written a feature length screenplay before, but that’s a ridiculous time frame.  The quickest I’ve done a first draft is 2 and a half weeks, and that’s pretty fast in itself. 

Anyway, she asked if I would go over her movie idea with her.  Mind you, she had no idea whatsoever about the prayer I had prayed or anything.  So she was probably surprised when immediately I was like, “YEAH!”

So long story short, I ended up helping her organizing her ideas and structures for the movie, create a full, coherent plot and shared with her what I’ve learned from my own screenwriting experiences.  The very next day after I decided I really want more opportunities to help people with their writing and the same day that I had prayed for it - BAM.  Through a girl who ended up living in our place by random coincidence…nah, it’s clear she ended up there by divine faith.

Because as it turns out, instead of just helping her getting it thoroughly planned out and prepared, I end up being her co-writer on this screenplay.  And a week and two days later (a.k.a. yesterday), we finished that feature length screenplay.  Whaaat?  Are you serious?  I’m asking that, because it’s crazy to me, so I know it’s only by the grace and provision of God that that happened.

I probably didn’t do this story justice, but I wanted to blog about at least God’s very apparent and immediate way of answering prayers for the past week, so there you go.  And I mean,a lotof other stuff is going on right now that so obviously all God doing crazy awesome things, but it’s still unraveling.  You’ll hear about it eventually haha

God bless!

Spoilers, I guess, if you still haven’t watched the finale and don’t know who A is.

So I was re-watching season 2, and in “Touched By An A-ngel”, Emily goes to get a massage at the spa, and it ends up being “A” who gives her the massage, yes?

But at the same time Emily is at the spa, Mona (who is eventually revealed to be A) is with Hanna at some ranch, riding horses with Hanna’s evil step-sister to-be, Kate.

So there is no way Mona could’ve been the one who gave Emily that massage.  Meaning one of two things:

1) There are definitely multiple A’s, which I know is the common, on-going theory

or

2)That’s just a major plothole that the writers didn’t catch onto. 

I’m actually kind of leaning towards 2.  Because even if there’s some A-mastermind who was ordering Mona around, it was Mona who was doing all the dirty work.  I think a producer or writer may have confirmed this (don’t take my word on that, though).

Any thoughts on this, though?  Did anyone else notice this discrepancy?

• I feel annoying.
• I feel like you might not want to talk.
• I feel unwanted when you don’t reply.
• It normally turns awkward and fades out.

However

• If you talk to me first and make attempts to keep conversation going you are a holy being in my mind.
