When God Interrupts…
June 25th, 2008
Life was good, challenging and hard at times, but working out quite well, thank you very much. I had a dream job at a fine Christian school in the Houston area. My sons were doing great in high school - well-adjusted, well-liked, both finding their creative niches. My husband Bob was working hard at several design/remodeling jobs. After three years of intense gardening – our back yard was finally becoming the “Garden of Eden” that we had worked so hard for, yes, all was working out beautifully…. And then God interrupted…
Unbeknownst to us, the Call actually began several years back. Our old friend (old as in we’ve been friends for many, many years) Kevin Bryan gave Bob a call when City was filming the H2O series to ask if he was available to design and build the sets for Episode 3. So Bob headed to Galveston and I tagged along to help out on the set. After several days of shooting, Bob and I looked at each other and read each other’s minds – wow, working in film to spread the Gospel? What an unbelievable concept.
So we safely tucked those thoughts aside and went back to our lives in Houston (Katy). A year or maybe two passed by and this time Shane called Bob to ask him to design the sets for the film portion of the new Southeast Easter Pageant. When the film portion became the full-on film series project of the Easter Experience, we realized Bob was needed for the entire summer, and that I could also help out as Shane’s assistant director. All of the sudden it was summer ’07, and the Danyla clan had temporarily settled in Louisville. Thus the Call was reignited.
Fast forward nine months later, and we are packing our house, loading storage “PODS”, piling boxes and kids and dogs into cars and trucks and heading north-east to Louisville!
We’ve been here just a week – Kentucky – the bluegrass state. Well I haven’t seen any grass that is blue, nor have I heard any bluegrass music, but this place is truly magnificent.
I’m already busy with work – assisting Molly with the upcoming City on a Hill fall event, and 5 year anniversary in Louisville, making plans for the Houston event in October and beginning plans for a Nashville event and possibly one in Atlanta.
In the meantime, I am still working on raising support for myself so that I can do the work the Lord has called me to! I am so blessed that God “interrupted”!

Cibby,
I have thought a lot about you in the 7 years (yes…7 since the wedding). I am so glad God’s call on your life has lead you to work with your passion…film. It was great to see pictures of you on set. It really has been a long time. I will keep up with you through the website. I will be praying for you as well!
