This is me

Sorry I haven't been on in a while, I've been kind of tied up with school and editing my documentary.  But I doubt anyone has missed me, I am probably the only one who reads what I write.  It's funny isn't it, that the Internet can full and busy with so many predators and hackers, that my little corner can be so over looked.  I started this blog to share recipes, which I will continue to do, but I just want to open up and share a little about myself.  First of all I would like to introduce myself as Child of God Sheena, which is pronounced in my family as Shayna, I know I know, you may ask yourself, How did they get Shayna out of Sheena?  And it is pretty simple, my mom spelled my name wrong, but I really think it has something to do with the medicine that she was on when she was having me, but she has called me Shayna all my life so that is my name. 

The reason I introduced myself as a Child of God, is that most people like to know up front about what people believe, so when  you read this blog you'll know the person on the other end belongs to the God of Jacob and has confessed Jesus Christ, the Messiah, as her Lord and Savior.  This is who I am, I am nowhere by any means perfect, I fall short all the time, but God's Holy Spirit convicts my soul and I repent and keep trying, because I would be of a simple and foolish mind to even think that I do not need a Savior and help living on this earth and in this world, surrounded by so many things that could kill me, not only in flesh, but my spirit as well, which will be bad, because I want to live abundantly and forever.  I have fallen in love with Jesus and as I get older the more and more I become less attached to worldly things and I submit my all to God.

I am a filmmaker.  I love film, I feel like it is apart of my being and it is what God has given me to bless His name and His people.  I sing as well in a gospel band called Purple Reign and we are trying to get more tapped into what God has for us.  Aside from singing, I am looking to sharpen my skills as a filmmaker and I am applying to graduate school at NYU Tisch School of the Arts, because I want to be the best and I figured to be the best I need to aim high and literally go for it, if not I will surely perish from the thought of never trying and I will sink in a depression so low that I will not be able to return.  It took me 23 years to realize my calling and now at 25 years old I have come to understand that in order to be able to soar to greatness, I will have to dive into the deepest of the deeps, and eat knowledge to acquire the wisdom I will need to achieve my goals.
