it made me think

i was thinking about my quote from "living on air" that i posted and i had to stop and be extremely grateful because hope has not been like that for me over the last week. we have made it through a full week since the news about the baby and i am most certain that the harder i hold onto hope and faith the more i am reassured - not that everything will be fine but that god is getting bigger and bigger. i am so thankful that i do not live in the paradox that maude did...... my god is so big so strong and so mighty there's nothing my god cannot do!!!


i also saw this movie on thursday. i don't get to see movies all that much in a real theater.... you know the popcorn, coke, and sticky floor experience. well, i absolutely loved this movie. i would go and see it again.... before it comes out on netflix. it was fun and thoughtful. i loved the way that it rallies around finding the support you need and the support you need to give. i did find the dialogue about suffering to be extremely relevant. not that we desire to miss the experience of suffering, but that we embrace it because it makes us who we are to become. because i believe that god is in the midst of all of that - it makes it more real because the end result is to look more like jesus not just to become a better person or more thoughtful person or even more loving person. how can it be more profound than looking like jesus?!
