inspiration.

It has been quite sometime since I worked on any videos.
There for awhile I was working all day and editing late into the night for North Africa video projects. Then when the MudRun got crazy, I didn't have time to edit. So my FCPX didn't open for several weeks.

Well, tonight I decided to dust it off and get busy. I am working on the Colombia videos for Compassion International.
But ya know, I was having a hard time getting back into the groove. So for some inspiration, I made a lil montage. I know...doesn't quite make sense to make a video to get inspired about making a video.
But I needed to be reminded of what I saw and heard and ultimately filmed during my few days there.

And wow - I forgot how powerful that trip was. Listening to sponsored children speak about being fed and clothed and given a chance to go to school, given something to hope for - all because someone chose to sponsor them.
Talk about perspective check for this girl tonight.

Anyways, maybe this short lil clip can serve as some inspiration for you too. Who knows.
It's nothing fancy, just some sweet moments we captured. I will post the finished videos as they come.

It's easy to get caught up in my world - in my needs, my wants, my happiness, me, me, me.
But I long to live for something greater than myself.
I long to see the world through eyes other than my own.

goodnight my friends.
