fireproof

My sister's fiance Barton told me about the movie Fireproof months ago so I feel like I've been waiting forever to see it. Kelsey and I decided to go see it Friday night and her mom was a little concerned as she told us it was supposed to be for married couples... I'm not sure I have time to go into why that is particularly funny but the truth is Kelsey and I are both hoping to marry Christian men someday so the movie would still apply.

The movie's been out since Sept. 26 and yet the theater was still packed here in fayettenam. I was willing to cut some slack on the acting just because of my hopes for the content. I was surprised at how quickly the female lead, Catherine, my support... but then how quickly I was routing for the male lead, Caleb, to win her back.

One of my favorite parts was when Caleb's coworker was telling him about his own marriage. Michael told him "Don't just follow your heart, man, because your heart can be deceived. You have to lead your heart."

I've just always heard people tell me to follow my heart... but there can be such a tug of war battle for your heart that I can really appreciate Michael's advice. I pray that I can protect my heart in such a way that it could be guarded from deceit. Definitely a work in progress...
