Ohio and Back

Hey everyone, I'm back in sunny San Diego! Recently I was in Ohio helping some friends remodel their kitchen! My time there went by extremely fast and amidst all the work and play God made time for me to finish the official film proposal and meet with a churchs mission's pastor!

Now back in San Diego
im hitting the books, 
the phone books that is,
and trying to get funding
for the film.



  Very IMPORTANT note, I talked with YWAM Tyler and was informed; even though I am still YWAM sunshine coast staff, I cannot receive donations through YWAM Tyler because I have been away from my "home base" for an extended period. So if you have been faithfully supporting me through YWAM Tyler, i appologize for not letting you know sooner, but i have not been recieving your donations. But dont worry it has gone to someone or some other ministry needing support.

If you still want to support me, you can by PAY PAL (on the top right side of this page) or by Wells Fargo bank. I opened a new bank account and no longer have my old one (ending in ******2466). If you would like my bank Details you can email me at seanmarin1987@netscape.net.




Thanks for keep'n up with me.
"Ya Heard!"

Some dark hours

Hello lovely people. I know it’s been quite a gap sense my last blog update, I want to apologize for that. This last month has been hard for several reasons. With a lack of work and my struggle getting the story locked down for the film and dealing with guilt from sin, Wow has it been a hard month.

I've been very confused, angry with myself and questioning if this film is going to happen at all. It seems like everything is against me right now.

So I’ve jumped on a plane and I'm heading to Tibet in the morning! I'm joking, but seriously I’ve felt very defeated this month and because of that I haven’t wanted to report on what "hasn't been happening". I‘m sorry for keeping you all out of the loop; I know I forfeited a lot of prayers.

Even though it’s been a hard month God has this knack of giving perfect words of wisdom and encouragement in perfect and the most necessary times. If it weren't for that I would be hiding in a cave crying right now.

God reminded me that faith is ACTING on what you believe He has given you to accomplish. I let the fear of failure cripple me from moving forward.
The words "it's ok to be less than 100% certain" and "it's ok to be scared” as long as you don’t let that cripple you, were life-giving to me. This lesson is applicable for anyone in any situation, either it be Producing a film or in perusing a daily Godly lifestyle. God requires and desires follows who will act on his Word.

Romans 10:11 "Anyone who trusts in Him (Jesus) will never be put to shame."


So, I'm dropping the strong face. I don’t know if we will get the founding needed by May and I don’t know if this film will happen. But regardless I'm going to keep pursuing this wild, uncertain adventure. Jesus is the only hope. I think He’s going to do miracle in the last hour and bring about what's been planted in me. I'll be spending a lot more time in prayer now and trying to live daily in faith.

Hebrews 10: 22-25 Let us draw near to God with a sincere heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled to cleanse us from a guilty conscience and having our bodies washed with pure water. Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful. And let us consider how we many spur one another on toward love and good deeds. Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another -and all the more as you see the Day approaching.

Love ya all.

Sean
