How did we start?
It was 2022. We were still trying to recover from the pandemic.
After losing our third studio—and what was supposed to be our investment, our condo unit in Cubao (goodbye to our down payment 😅)—because of financial struggles during the pandemic, we slowly managed to save a little. But just when things were starting to get better, our child needed surgery.
We only had a small amount saved. The future was still uncertain, and the effects of the pandemic were still very real.
But there was this one question that just kept popping into my mind:
"Should we invest in a commercial studio?"
The idea wouldn't leave me alone. Honestly, I didn't want to pursue it because our budget was so tight.
But wherever I went, I kept hearing the song "Oceans" by Hillsong.
The last verse would always stand out:
"Take me deeper than my feet could ever wander
And my faith will be made stronger
In the presence of my Saviour."
And that's when we found the courage to take the leap.
We invested our hard-earned money, found the best commercial space we could afford, and started small.
Now, we're almost four years into our new—and much bigger—studio. And honestly, I think we'll need to upgrade again soon.
All glory to God.
Sometimes, opportunities come your way that are genuinely scary to pursue. But learn to listen to where God is leading you. Surrender everything to Him.
Sometimes, He plants an idea in your heart for a reason—because there's a future version of you already living the life you're only beginning to dream about today.
Do everything for God's glory, trust His timing, and let Him lead your steps.
He is faithful. Always. 🤍
