Wow that video has me in tears right now. If only real life really worked like that, unfortunately its my experience that it doesn't, in my real life experience the more I get knocked on my ass the further away god gets. My single set of foot prints are truly me walking alone. Nice sentiment in the video though, its just not been my reality experience.

B-
Yep, I've felt that way too. Altough the video presents things with a nice happy ending, I do know that there were men and women in the Bible...and throughout time for that matter, who wrestled with doubts because of thorns or pain or suffering. Even Mother Teresa was said to have wrestled with severe doubt. But--they walked ahead and trusted God. That is SO hard. And, by the way, you're not walking alone...
No cheesy ending here, just wanted you to know that at the very least, you are NOT alone.

The older I get the more I realize that Faith is really about Faith in God's Faithfulness. Nort is some system or institution. I saw this last week also and it reminds me that I am called to Have Faith in GOD'S faithfulness. Thanks Brandon.
Peace.

You really have to warn me before I watch stuff like this right before class.

"Gee, Mr. Thurman, why are your eyes so red and puffy?"

I saw that this week also, someone sent it to my husband and was thinking we could do this some Sunday morning in our worship? (We are doing a lot of dramatic readings and skits, these days)


Anway, my one take on the whole thing is that I don't see Jesus standing there watching from the sidelines and then coming in like a knight on a white horse. I think he would be there from the beginning standing right there through the first bout on to the end. I know it is a dramatic replay, but I found something lacking. Just not sure I can put my finger on it.....yet.

Maybe that is what anonymous was thinking as well?!?

I am in tears right now for sure....i was struck by the battle at the end..she was reaching out and I felt she knew she was reaching for HIM and yet the battle was so intense she could not grasp HIM or feel HIM...now I can relate to that...that describes my feelings many many times over the past 10 years...the visual was awesome for me, to see the seduction and darkness that SO often hides His presence...even when HE is right there...I love my Lord! His presence is there in the battle and the brokenness and HE wants to daily take it on HImself...He is SO good! This video deeply touches my heart. Thanks for sharing it.
Blessings Friend,

Kelly
