Facing the Giants

Ok, so I know that I said I was going to put up stuff about my opinions and what i was reading and sort of debate, etc. But i've been on vacation and havent been reading much, so when i get back to it, then that will start.
I do have a few comments to make though. I recently (as in a few nights ago) saw the movie, Facing the Giants. It's a movie made by a large church and their drama team with the help of alot of volunteers. I had heard alot of good feedback from people in the Christian community that it was a good movie and we should see it to support their work. I did not have super high expectations entering the movie. As we watched it (me, steph, her parents, ali, and matt), there was some negativity towards how the movie was portraying God's blessings. Withouth giving away the movie, I actually enjoyed it and it moved me a bit. The coach who plays the main character, trusts God completely with every part of his life. He holds nothing back that he tries to control himself. Obviously we will not always get everything that we dream of or desire, and there will still be struggles in life, but God will ultimately provide for us and show us His will for our life when we let go of that control. This idea really pushed some buttons in me during the movie, making me realize how much I relish having control of situations and being able to know things ahead of time and so on. Overall I enjoyed the movie and think it does teach some great lessons.
