Earlier today, I was flipping channels and caught the end of the movie "Fireproof". I just love that movie. Morgan and I watched that movie when I first found out about it, before we started going to church. I really think it was the beginning of a change in us. And today, when I saw the ending, and they got re-married and the pastor said that now their marriage was built upon the strong foundation of the Lord, it just really hit me!
I mean, in that moment, I realized just how important it was for our marriage that we got ourselves in church and started to build our foundation upon the Lord. Just like in the movie, He has changed us both dramatically. So many pieces had to come together in order for us to end up here........pieces that no doubt the Lord helped to fall into place.
I laughed when Caleb is holding his bible and they're on their way to church at the end and the neighbors are like, I just don't understand that boy! I saw us in that picture. I thought, oh my goodness, my Mom would be absolutely amazed that we go to church now and that we have made it a part of our lives. She would be so proud of us and she would say that she knew we could do it! It's not even about going to a church building every week. It's about the changes that have happened as a result of giving our lives to God.
Anyways, I was just thinking about how the Lord showed us that movie and then he took us and acted it out in our own lives! That's pretty amazing!! Here is a clip from the end of the movie. It's such a great movie......if you haven't seen it yet, you must watch it!!!

I love that movie too. We saw it at the theater when it first came out. I cried...it was so moving and emotional for me...because of how our marriage changed 16 years ago when John came to Christ.
I bought a copy for me and just about everyone else I knew...along with the Love Dare! ("You never leave your partner") That phrase kept jumping out to me. And I loved the parts when the song "While I'm Waiting" was playing!
I too watched it again on tv the other night..probably when you were watching it. I never get tired of it. I can't wait for their new movie to come out this year!
I know your mom would be so excited to see the changes in your life...I know I am so proud of you, and so thrilled at all that has happened because of Christ working in your lives...in the last couple of years.
Do you ever just want to shout HALLELUJAH? I do. (:>) I feel so thankful for the way God has changed my life too.
Love you,

I love that movie. I was bawling like a baby when we watched it for the first time. Beautiful!

I totally remember you posting about when you first watched Fireproof! I remember commenting how we also watched it together and Fern has such a bad attitude about watching the movie with me!
So glad that you both have come a long way together since then! We are all His works in progress and it's amazing to see where He takes us when we give our lives to Him!
I thought it was a great, honest, realistic movie! The best foundation for your marriage and family is Him! No other way.
