Stepping Out on Faith

Stepping out on faith to achieve my dream is a really big deal, and it has scared lots of people, including me.  A lot of us have dreams...but money, experience, proximity, a lack of opportunity and a myriad of other things prevent us from stepping out on faith to actually realize them.  That's why they call it "stepping out on faith", right?

I've talked about moving to LA for a long time, and I will admit, I would have much rather done it a traditional way.  I would have liked to have  had a job, a lot of money saved up, a prepaid apartment, or something more than faith to make me feel secure.

As the clock ticks down to when next month's rent payment is due, I think about how after it's paid, that's it.  It's been two weeks, and I have had one job interview.  My second interview with that same company will be in about a week and a half.  I interviewed with a production company that offered me an unpaid internship.  I had a preliminary interview for an unpaid internship at another production company, with a second interview impending.

For the sake of this being on the internet, I will not divulge the names of each production company, but I am sure they will certainly provide a significant investment in my career.  The wife suggested I pursue both internships and see which one leads to gold.  If I choose that, there begs the question, how do I pay rent?

Ultimately, if this was going to be easy, everyone would do it.  If living a life of gratitude, ease and happiness in times of uncertainty was indeed effortless, everyone would live this way.  This is my opportunity to prove that I mean business, and I believe in the power of positive thought.  Every day, I am reminded, that this is what stepping out on faith looks like.

I am eating.  My rent is paid.  I don't know what June will look like, but June isn't here yet.  All I can do is have the faith that I had when I left, and trust that when June comes, everything will be all right.
