Sergio’s Wife-Video

We had this crazy idea to turn our old blog posts into videos.  At first the task seemed daunting.  How were we going to find the time to film and edit?  But we were determined!

We had so much fun filming this video, and for a lot of it we just let the camera roll and pretended it wasn’t there.  Those are the best moments to capture, the pure, raw unfiltered moments.

The Chair- Video

We had this crazy idea that 2018 would be the year of video.  We weren’t sure how to approach, but ultimately we decided to turn a few of our old blog posts into videos.  We went back through the archives and knew we had to turn The Chair into a video.  We’ll let the video speak for itself!

 

 

We had so much fun making this video!  And we are very proud of the results.  Comment what you think of it, we love to hear your opinions.  If you want to watch more of our videos subscribe to our Youtube Channel.  Let us know what you want to see.

Its darkness will be like the morning.” Job11:17
