Moment of Honesty
Can I be honest for a second? In all its essence and beauty, the world we live in can be an ugly place.
People are physically and spiritually malnourished. Children have been abandoned. So many of us are fighting silent battles - struggling to keep our heads above water in capitalism and clinging to corporate ladders, praying we don’t plummet to our demise.
But God didn’t intend for it to be this way.
The Lord’s heart breaks when he sees his people suffering. This is especially true considering that if we just came to Him, we would actually stand a chance—heck, we would go from victims to victory.
The Importance of Creatives
The very first verse of the bible, Genesis 1:1, says, “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.”
The first thing we learn about our Father is that He is a creator. Since the Lord created us in His image, we are also meant to create through different mediums.
Through writing, visual communication, performing arts, design, and more, we tell stories, spread knowledge, and influence culture. So what better way to share God’s healing truth and lessons that transform lives?
Unto the Clouds
Unto the Clouds started as an instruction from God. He randomly gave me the idea one morning to start flying drones. But more emphatically, He said that it would help someone.
Fast forward, he’s guided me to share aerial videography alongside daily scriptures on YouTube. He’s poured fresh anointing oil over my writing and started a blog here on the website. Very soon, we’ll launch prints of our photo art, allowing you to purchase and add an extra piece of His light and goodness to your home. He’s just so good and continues to do a new thing.
Through Unto the Clouds, I aim to spread the fruits of the Spirit, one step of obedience at a time. This could be by inspiring even just one person with a daily scripture, such as a verse from the Bible that has personally impacted me, or writing an article that challenges you to think differently. One thing is for certain: this is a brand that will shine light into the darkness. I hope you will join me on this journey, because we’re stronger in numbers, in community, and in fellowship. Let’s make the world beautiful again. 🤍
What does “Unto the Clouds” represent?
The brand name “Unto the Clouds” is coined from Psalms 36:5, “Thy mercy, O Lord, is in the heavens; and thy faithfulness reacheth unto the clouds.”
I’ve never quite gotten used to flying on planes. At my big age of 26, I still get nervous. Throughout the year, I have to travel for work, and I realized that I needed something to help ease my nerves.
As I was praying and preparing for a flight, I came across Psalms 36:5. It reminded me that even when we are thousands of feet in the air, God is here for us. He’s protecting, and he’s leading at all times. So as I started this brand, it was a no-brainer for me that I wanted to build it on the fundamental truth that God’s faithfulness is with us…even Unto the Clouds.
With Gratitude,
