I Watched...

This movie called "Facing The Giants" during youth yesterday. It was a very good movie, though a little unsuitable for non-Christians. It talks about how problems that arise in our lives are labelled simply as 'Giants' that we find so hard to defeat unless we depend on God.


There were two parts that really moved me in the movie. The first was the part where the coach blindfolded the lineman (those big tank-like humans) and asked him to do the death crawl for 50 yards. In the end, the lineman went the whole field, which is about 100 yards, which is 91.44 metres to be exact. It really touched me because it was a bit like the situation in the church, with the small number of youths. If only I would be 'blindfolded' when doing things, not looking at 'Giants' but God instead. That way, I'd probably do so much more than what I'm doing right now in church.

The second part was the wife of the coach talking about how much she wanted kids; How much she wanted to read books to them, protect them when there's lightning and all. Nahh, I'm not interested in having children yet, but it was the following line that caught my attention:

"How can I miss someone so much whom I have not met?"

Although the 'someone' was pretty much referring to the kids, I couldn't help but feel as I pondered about that line that the screen-writer had God in his mind when he wrote that.

I struggle with that. Saying I miss God so much even though I have not met. To say that requires a close relationship with God. That's something that triggered me. Where is my relationship with God? Has it grown stronger? Or has it become bitter? I'll keep the answer between myself and God. If wanna know, then wait till we go to Heaven ya?

Signing off with a bang now,

BANG!
