cinema.

I spent the past few weeks prepping for LIGHTS! CAMERA! ACTION! VBA Summer Camp at High Street Community Church. And today, camp is over, and I’m all packed up and leaving for LA within the hour.

Maybe it’s because I’ve been on a set all week. Maybe it’s because I’ve been dealing with scripts and actors and costumes and plot lines and montages all week. But for some reason, my life feels like movie. I walked away today from VBA, with music playing, goodbyes said, hugs given, and as I looked over my shoulder at all the children laughing and playing and my thoughts sounding more and more like they could be a voice-over (think JD in scrubs), and I feel like I’m gearing up for a grand adventure. I’m heading to LA, the land of silver screens and broken hearts and hurting people. Los Angeles, concentrated wealth and devastating poverty within a few miles of each other, is where I call my home.

So I’m changing scenery, and God continues to develop my character. So to Santa Cruz, I say, That’s a WRAP! And to LA, I say: LIGHTS! CAMERA! ACTION!
