Run Forrest...RUN!
I just finished watching Forrest Gump, and I never cried that hard watching a movie in a long long time.
It is such an awesome, genuine movie about love.
Plus, its a war movie.
I can't believe how Jenny treated Forrest, even when he loved her so much and was ALWAYS there for her. Forrest continued to love her, even when she treated him like crap. That is REAL love, and when I mean real love, I mean loving like God loves us.
I also loved the fact that Forrest was so intelligent, even if the world saw him as "slow". He was a self-made billionaire, and could put a gun together faster than anybody in his platoon. Forrest aint stupid! lol.
How brave was he when he ran into the forests of Vietnam, right when the whole area was getting nuked, to rescue all the soliders?
He remained faithful to Jenny the whole time, and everything he did he did for her. The running, the shrimping (naming his boat after her!), the fighting....everything he did, he was motivated by her.
I can talk about that movie all night, but I guess I'll stop there. Sometimes, its good to have a movie do that to you. Now I am just, THAT much more wanting to prepare myself for my husband, to learn the skills needed to become an incredibly awesome wife. :)
I dont want to date around. I dont want to date a zillon guys before I find my husband. Because he is going to be the only one that actually matters in your life. So why not save yourself for the only one who is going to have significance? And I am willing to wait as long as it takes. That just gives me more time to prepare myself, and the gift will just grow to be that much greater.
Its funny how God puts certain desires in your heart, and others he doesn't.
