We both thought it was a good movie, and probably quite realistic for many couples today. It was good food for thought.
I had several observations.
There were two phrases I heard repeated over and over again throughout the movie. The first one was by Caleb and Katherine when they were talking about each other and their marriage problems. They were two words actually that went together: I and me. They seemed to be the cause of all of their marital issues, aside from their lack of salvation. I've learned that myself in our marriage.
The next words were used by Caleb's dad throughout the movie, Anna (the older nurse), and then Caleb but only after God changed his heart. I understand that, ... How far those words can go toward building a relationship, turning a heart toward the Lord, and setting our own words aside to hear another's.
This movie wasn't one with a story line I've experienced myself, but there was a song in there that really spoke to me for where I am today. It's one of the songs by John Waller. And it's one of those that will be a foundation rock for me. I actually didn't really catch it until it was almost over and heard one line: "I will worship while I'm waiting." While I'm waiting... to know if we will have or adopt more little ones, to know if our house will ever sell, to know if Robert will ever get a job that allows him to be home more with us, to see what His purpose was in all of this, to know if friends will find the Lord's rest. "I will worship... while I'm waiting."

While I'm Waiting by John Waller
I'm waiting
I'm waiting on You, Lord
And I am hopeful
I'm waiting on You, Lord
Though it is painful
But patiently, I will wait
I will move ahead, bold and confident
Taking every step in obedience
While I'm waiting
I will serve You
While I'm waiting
I will worship
While I'm waiting
I will not faint
I'll be running the race
Even while I wait
I'm waiting
I'm waiting on You, Lord
And I am peaceful
I'm waiting on You, Lord
Though it's not easy
But faithfully, I will wait
Yes, I will wait
I will serve You while I'm waiting
I will worship while I'm waiting
I will serve You while I'm waiting
I will worship while I'm waiting
I will serve you while I'm waiting
I will worship while I'm waiting on You, Lord
The video is from the movie, and is obviously focused on marriage, but are you waiting on Him for anything else? Maybe we can worship while we wait together.

We wanted to see "Fireproof" this weekend, but we couldn't get a babysitter. We hope to see it very soon!
