Hillsong : Let Hope Rise Movie Review

"A documentary on the Australia-based band Hillsong and their rise to prominence as an international church." From imdb.com

As many people know , I am christian so when I saw that Hillsong was coming out . One of the most influential bands of our time. In the christian music world , as you watch this documentary you find out these humble beginnings of each band member. And the band itself, and the start of this mega church success.    
Well , I took my little brother when we were out of town  since our theatre does not have this specific movie.
We were the only ones in the movie theatre , which wasn't surprising a lot of faith based movies. Bring crowds but only during specific times, so we were the only ones in the movie theatre. But that isn't the point , right when the movie started. They played a message on screen , " please think of this like a concert , and a worship experience. Feel free to sing along with the songs." Which was a new thing for me , thats when they started off with the first song. WORDS on the screen! I was so excited and since it was just me and my little movie buddy. We sang and learned and watched , which was an awesome time for the both of us.
Learning about the hillsong church , was an eye opener these folks were from humble beginnings a small one room church , that is now a library. Then they started to have touring bands reaching out to the youth first , and then it just grew from there. Which is wonderful , on how much faith each member had in God with how they wanted to be used to his purpose.

Because when it all comes down to it , it isnt about us its about him..

Unsung Hero

When David Smallbone's successful music company collapses, he moves his family from Australia to the United States in search of a brighter future. With nothing more than their six children, their suitcases, and their love of music, David (for KING + COUNTRY's Joel Smallbone) and his pregnant wife Helen (Daisy Betts) set out to rebuild their lives from the ground up. Based on a remarkable true story, a mum's faith stands against all odds; and inspires her husband and children to hold onto theirs. - https://unsunghero.movie/ If I was to tell you I have been waiting for this movie since forever , that's because I have been.

From their first full album Crave in 2012 , to their Newest What are we waiting for? . They have not come out with a "bad" song they are so spirit filled and ...

The Aunchitha Ice Ball Maker

Image
I ordered this ice-ball maker because I was curious about if all the stories that I have heard were true. Does it really keep cold drinks colder longer? and keep the flavor? no dilution? So I decided to order and figure out if this process really worked. I ordered the product with a complimentary code , and waited I received it a few days later. I followed the instructions and put it in the freezer and waited until the ice was frozen.  here it is there is two trays one goes on top of the other and keeps the shape .  You fill to the line in the first tray and then fill up the rest ,  Access water spills out and collects as you can see.   Here is what they look like done , and if directions are perfect and done right you will get perfect spheres for your drinks. In waiting to see if the taste would become deluded . They did not , and it was wonderful  and I loved the product packaging . Most complaints I see about the plastic and flavor of the plasti...

REPOST : Day 10 Blogging Challenge Best Trip You have ever taken.

Image
Please enjoy a repost today from my personal/Lifestyle blog : Day 10: The best trip you have ever taken.  So , I have been to a few places I have been to mexico twice both on missions. I have been to California for a Youth meeting of sorts. I have been to Florida twice , once on missions and youth meeting at the same time. The other time was for an actual vacation with my best friend , even though I would count my missions trips as vacations to me in most words. I have been to Texas countless times for youth rallies and church stuff and then for an actual vacation and seeing family. So I have traveled , I mainly do missions because that is apart of my heart. Is spreading the word of God to those who may not know it or honestly to bring comfort to those who need it.  I think my best ever trip is a combination of mission trips that I have taken , even though I can admit. Going on vacation for yourself is fun , it doesn't leave the same impression that missions can have....
