Hey there everyone!
I figured it would probably be easier to just have one shared social media account so you don't have to flip between different accounts all the time. We still have our personal accounts but now we have an account for the both of us to share. It is @SarahMJennyS
So far we just have an instagram and twitter. They will be used for the same things. Quick short little updates and event dates. We will be posting a weekly summary and long updates about everything we've done, including stuff we tweet about, on this blog.
Starting next week, we will have a booth set up at the Haslet Farmers Market. This will be on Saturdays but the specific dates are not available yet. Within the next couple of days, I will have the dates and post them all on here. At our booth, we will be selling baked goods, like brownies, cupcakes, etc. We also will be performing live!! Be sure and come out and meet us!! We would to meet you!! Or if we've already met you, we'd love to see you again!! We look forward to seeing you all!!!
With Love,
Sarah Maycen(:

About 8 Days
As you may know, we were in a feature film over the summer called '8 Days.' This film was based on a true story of a girl who was sold into human trafficking. The movie is her story, through her eyes. This film is a full length feature film. That means it is a full length movie. Most films of this length take more than 6 months to film. We filmed the entire thing in 15 days!! It was crazy busy!!
Jenny and I were blessed with the opportunity to be a part of this film. We were both cast, along with our youngest sister, as featured extras. We were also extras in a few other scenes. Along with being on cast, my mom was one of the amazing people in charge of catering, so we got to be on set with her, helping serve. Because of this, we were on set a lot!! It was such an amazing experience!! It was cool to see how everything on a set runs. We were there from day one, filming the second scene of the day and helping with the first scene, all the way to the last day, filming the last scene until 3am. Days started early and ended late, usually pretty close to the start of the next day. We got to see how they film in different places and what goes on, on set.
There were a lot of cool things that happened. One thing, that we find amazing, is one of the camera crew members got baptized on the last day of filming, at the last scene, at 3am. Everyone always says God works miracles at any given time. There is the perfect example! He was a Christian as a kid, but as he grew up, he grew apart from his faith. After being on set with us for 15 days, he saw just by the way everyone acted, what Christians really are. He knew in his heart that this was what he was supposed to be, so God lead him back to the right path. It was an amazing thing to witness.
So you may be interested in what we did while on set, so I will start from the beginning of filming.
Day 1: On the first day of filming, we got up early and headed out to the first location. We got there around 7:30am and already there were people everywhere, running around, getting things set up. We were new to this kind of thing so we found the head caterer, who my mom was to be working with, and asked where we could be of assistance. At the moment, they were filming an adult scene in the restaurant across the street, so we made ourselves busy by helping unload food and supplies. We helped pull out everything for lunch, because everyone would have to grab and go. Lunch was only about 20 minutes max. Once everything was set up, we went outside to see how everyone was doing. They were setting up for the next scene, which would be an outside scene. Jenny and I were in this scene, so we would have to go in later. But for now they were setting up. It was about 11am, and already the temperature was soaring to about 101 degrees Fahrenheit. It was only going to get hotter. Jenny and I, along with a few friends, grabbed a bunch of cold water bottles and passed them out to all the crew members, cast members, and extras. The crew, cast, and us grabbed lunch real quick and headed back outside to film. We started filming the scene at about 11:45am and didn't finish until about 4pm. They had to get about 3 shots from each angle, and about 6 different angles. Luckily, they got all the shots they needed within the first three tries on each angle. The extras were allowed to go home, and we moved on to the next location. Our youngest sister, Jessica, was to be in this next scene. They set everything up and got to filming. Jenny and I helped bring sunscreen and more water bottles to everyone. While they were filming, we weren't really needed for about an hour, so we went exploring in the nearby woods. It was a beautiful area, and I wish I had gotten more pictures. Sadly my phone and camera had died. By the time this scene was done shooting, it was already 8:30pm. We helped serve dinner, and then headed on home to get some rest. There was another scene shooting after we left and they stayed until about 1am. Late day, and it was only day one!!
Day 2-4: Our mom went to help serve food, but we were not needed on set.
Day 5: We helped serve food for about an hour in the evening time. The shoot was at a ginormous and beautiful house!! It had like it's own courtyard and everything!!
Day 5-12: We were not needed on set very much. Just a few days to help out here and there.
Day 13: Jenny and I were filming in a scene in the evening time and into the night. We got there about 6pm and went straight into hair and makeup until about 8pm. The makeup looked phenomenal!!! We then went outside and watched them film the scene before ours. It's crazy how many takes they have to shoot to get the perfect shot!! About 10:30 pm, everything was set up for our scene, and we got in our places. This scene had to be filmed a few times from different angles. It was a tough scene to film, because it was very emotional. Luckily the part we played required us to be emotional, so getting teary eyed wasn't a problem. After a long and tiring night of shooting (luckily looking tired was part of the scene), we wrapped up about 3:45am. We drove home, which was about an hour away, and dropped off Jenny. My mom and I had to be in Austin by 8am, so we drove straight there.
Day 14: Jenny was home this day and my mom and I were headed to Austin to take care of some family business that had unexpectantly popped up. We took care of everything and stayed the night.
Day 15: This was the final day of filming for everyone! My mom and I headed back home from Austin in the morning. We got home about 4pm and got ready for the evenings shoot. We left our house about 5pm and headed to the shoot location, about an hour and a half away. About halfway there, we hit a very bad lightning storm. This was not good, because we were filming an outside shot....in a pool..... yeah not a good mixture. We got there, and it was pouring down rain. Luckily, they were still shooting the scene before ours, which was an inside scene. The rain and lightning went away after about 30 minutes. The Lord had big plans for that shoot and nothing was stopping Him. We started filming and filmed all three scenes by 2:30am. At that moment, one of the crew members, which I told you about earlier, was baptized. It was the perfect way to wrap up a great 2 1/2 weeks of filming.
We had a great time on set. We learned so much!! It was such a great experience! Plus we made a bunch of new friends and got to see friends we hadn't in a while. But most of all, this was God's project, and through Him and this film, we hope to influence the lives of many others.
Thank you for reading and supporting!! We love you all!!(:

Playing Catch Up
Wow has time gotten out from under us!!.... With the holidays, school and getting ready to move we havent been able to see which end is up!!
Here is a Re-Cap of what has happened recently:
Jenny was in the production Guys and Dolls performed at the Performing Arts Center under Jenna Hill in which she did very well!!! Now she's in Willy Wonka... the girl is
relentless lol.
I have been running my heart out in Track. lol ...
We have moved into our new house. No more tiny apartment.
So a lot has happened since we last posted.
Jenny and I were also featured extras in a movie called "8 Days" about a true story of a girl who was abducted and sold into human sex traffiking. It was very intense and there were people crying throughout the filming. We were so honored to be a part of it and we can see how God is going to use this to help others.
Right now our focus has been to get ready for SHINE in January. We are entering several showcases. Still fundraising which has been put on the sideburner since memaw had her stroke and Mom has to care for her plus juggle working. Which doesn't leave much time for fundraising.
But God always provides. So I leave it in His hands. :)
So far we have raised $ 500 towards SHINE.
WE ARE BLESSED! Jenny and I know who we are and WHO'S we are so we want to glorify Him in all we do.
If you feel led to support us here is our link!! God bless you all!!

Our First Step
7/14/13
Our First Step.... its a bit overwhelming.. and there is so much to learn and so much to do...
After a lot of prayer, our family decided we would let God show us the path.
The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord (Psalms 37:23)
A man’s heart plans his way, but the Lord directs his steps (Proverbs 16:9)
My sister Jenny and I are letting God direct our steps and this is what He has done so far!!
Our dad was offered a job in the Fort Worth, Texas area...
(Jenny prayed that God would help her dream come true and put her talent to sing, act and model as a light to others as a positive role model.)
(step 1 of God laying the groundwork)
Sarah, not realizing she had a talent for acting.... was taken aback when told she had natural talent and blew them away with her funny, off the cuff monologue and her confident personality.
(step 2... He opens doors and puts us outside our comfort zone)
My dad heard the Audition call from AMTC (Actors, Models, and Talent for Christ)... thought to himself... this sounds like it will keep our family values intact...and opened his heart so that we could audition.... and we got ACCEPTED!!
(step 3... He lights the path so we can see how morally disfunct the media has become as we see in the news and on the internet)
The purpose of this blog is take you step by step on our journey through AMTC and to the SHINE competition and BEYOND!!!
As with anything in the entertainment industry, there are costs associated with it, and our parents can only afford so much... especially with 4 kids, braces, and moving.
So Jenny and I decided to help them and let God provide financially.
Here is where YOUR BLESSINGS come in!!
YOUR donations help pave the way for Jenny and I (Sarah) to become a light in the entertainment industry a Positive Role model for others where it is lacking.
Any donation of $100 or more puts your business or name into the program book that over 500-700 families, agents and people get to see. AND its Tax-Deductable!!!
But ANY AMOUNT is appreciated. Big or Small. .... Pray and see what you think God and your heart is telling you.... even if its just encouraging words.
We pray financial blessing on this path God has laid.
