How many people love movies ( I am raising my hand) we all do actually. This is not a surprise and why not love movies I mean they provide us with the escape from our own world even if it is only for 2 hours or so. I never really grew up watching movies as a kid we lacked the funds for a VCR and a TV hence the reason to this day I am fan of radio. (Shout to Sirius its the truth). Needless to say though I was hooked when I went to my uncles and watched my first movie ever (Terminator) and when I turned 14 i experienced what the big screen has to offer. I would later run a video department for six years and make up for the loss movies I had not seen in my lifetime.
God I love irony.
So in all the movie watching I have done I am guilty of the following thing and I am sure you might be to. I am guilty of putting myself in the characters shoes and identifying in a true way or wishing I had a little of what that person on screen possessed. There is nothing at all wrong with this type of embellishment it is actually fun and if your like me and search for meaning in everything then it can be very eye opening.
So I got an eye full last night when I watched The Ghost Of Girlfriends Past. starring Matthew McConaughey and Jennifer Garner. Not only did I identify with the character it was literally like someone snuck in on my life and filmed it from a distance. Lucky for me I am in a place where I am working get away from by previous unbecoming behavior and have started towards a focused and devoted life towards god and enriching the lives of others. I won't give away the movie, nor do I condone the antics that place although I can not say that I am not guilty for having preformed some of them in my young life.
The overall point is this
I believe that God speaks to us in any means that will get his point across and he knows what messages we need to hear and when we need to hear them.
I heard one in the movie I watched last night but it was because my ears were open to hear it. I am asking you are your ears open to hearing what is being said to you and are you listening ? There is value in everything if you allow your self to experience and see it so the next time you doing something and it feels as though this was meant for you or you feel it is address something in your life maybe it is.
Until my next post God Bless and Good Luck.
