Life of Kyle Prohaska

There are times I feel I lose my focus.  I lose my drive, my determination, my energy, and all things related to progress.  Sometimes it’s sleep, sometimes it’s too much recreation, sometimes it’s just plain laziness, and other times it’s me spiritually lacking, even if those previous aspects are in check.  Besides whatever reading I do, I’m just going to commit to listening to sermons online all day while I work.  I think that will benefit me greatly and keep God’s Word and his truths pumping through my brain, even if at times I’m not fully concentrated because I’m working.  I feel like just having it playing will keep my mind focused on the light and on the things of God.  People underestimate the power of God’s Word when your actually reading it, and I think just as many underestimate what listening to solid bible teachers online can do for you.  Obviously you read God’s Word to get God’s truth from His Word, so why not go to the literal thousands of available audio sermons online, find a topic, and just listen to 8 hours of a pastor explaining God’s truth from His Word on a given topic?  How could your time be spent better?  I really love listening to that stuff, it gets me pumped and I learn so much.

I watched the first 23 minutes or so of Standing Firm yesterday trying to really concentrate on what the film was feeding me.  It’s tough because I can’t go in fresh as if I know nothing, but I can get a clear view of the pacing of the film if I step back a bit and come back to the edit later.  I really was surprised at how much I enjoyed watching the film and how well it was working for me.  I get very afraid when looking at my own work, just always wondering if I’m fooling myself.  I don’t have a lot of time to fight with that anymore Time is getting short (thank goodness, because it gives me a forceful push forward) and I need to lock this film SOON.  We have been Blessed with enough investment to finish the film.  The amount was just enough for me to combine my own investment and get the Score/Sound-Mix/and Distribution/Marketing costs completed or at least over the peak.  That is very encouraging to know considering it’s been an unknown for so long.  God is good!

I just can’t wait to see what God does with this film, it makes me crazy just thinking about it.  Regardless of the reaction to the film or the naysayers that WILL come along, I’m honored to have the chance to create something that could be used by God to reach someone for himself.  What a cool thing to be apart of!  We passed 2000 followers today on Twitter, which was really hard to do but I’m glad I can start moving higher.  Our fan page is doing well, getting near the 8000 mark.  8 THOUSAND…wow.  Just the thought that 8000 people have at least heard of this film blows my mind, lol.

Denise is doing well It was funny today at Vintage seeing some peoples reactions to the fact I had a girl next to me.  I’ve never had a girlfriend and most people that know me know that, so their facial expressions were comical.  I’m just so Blessed to have her, it’s amazing.  It makes me think so differently.  Finding somebody that makes you want to draw even nearer to God than before because they’re now with you is the perfect person to find.  Someone who you can serve Jesus together with and become the greatest possible version of yourself because of that.  I am Blessed beyond words, and pretty darn vocal about it ha ha!

Life is going well, and I’m so happy right now More than I have been in a long time.  Why God is choosing to Bless me right now, I have no idea.  I just keep thankfulness on the brain, and move forward with a smile.  2010 is looking like a God-year, how about you?
