This week we find ourselves (or at least 1/2 of us) in California filming a few interviews with JCTV (the teen channel for TBN). Laura and I (Kat) are working with John Schimke of 36 Parables to film a few episodes on Illuminate which is a teen program this time involving reviewing short films. We always enjoy working with John and it's such an amazing opportunity to spread God's truth to millions of people across the globe. Please check out John's stuff at 36parables.
As we visit with old friends we are not only reminded, but kind of confirmed (by God's previous promptings) that we need to prioritize our time. The College and Career Pastor at my church gave an example of how to prioritize. She said, in our lives there are rocks, pebbles, sand and water. All of these things need to go into a vase, but the only way for ALL of them to fit is to put the rocks in first, then the pebbles, the sand, and lastly fill it with the water. The rocks are the things in our lives that are constants, like our job, spouse, children, church responsibilities. The pebbles might be things that God has directed you to do. Maybe spending time with someone that He wants you to mentor, or relationships that you want to build to influence your life. The sand are relationships that are more like acquaintances. They aren't going to be in your life everyday, but they are still important. And lastly the water is the fun. These are things you do to relax and enjoy life. I suppose these would be hobbies. All of these things are important, but they have to be put in the right order. If you have the water first then you can't put the rest in the vase. They must be in the order of rocks, pebbles, sand and water. So this week consider your priorities. Maybe you are much like me and have put a bunch of the water in first and tried to make room for the rocks or pebbles. It's only when we have our priorities in the proper order that we feel balanced and fulfilled.

We are in the middle of January and the weather up here in Michigan has been so strange. It has only snowed a few days and the rest have felt like Spring. I feel like something is waiting to just burst forth. So much so that even the earth doesn't want the winter to come. Maybe God has so much for us this year that He can hardly contain Himself. I smile, knowing that He is with me and sees the possibilities that today holds.
We are getting ready to film more movies and write more scripts. We are excited about this. God has so much to say and we are honored to have an outlet to speak His truths. Please keep this project in your prayers! A few of us are also flying out to California to show a few of our films on a TBN program. We are praying for the outreach that this opportunity can bring!
As we move into 2012, our prayer is that God will continue to speak to us all and reveal Himself to us just a little but more. May our creative hearts be renewed with new blossoms that come from being in His presence.

Mother's Day is just around the corner, and we've come up with a beautiful tribute for mothers everywhere. Check out our all new mini-movie "Thanks Mom" - a stirring acknowledgement by Kathlene, for her own mother. It's a tender reminder to all moms that they truly are appreciated, each one for her own special song and dance.
