Fireproof: Changing Lives & Marriages Bloggy GIVE-AWAY!!

Bloggy Giveaway Carnival Has arrived!!! Woo-hoo! Here's my first giveaway...

(Don't forget the other ones... #2 Complete Family Story & Photobook

My husband and I went out on our monthly...or quarterly date. (Yes, we need to get out more, but it's been crazy) Anyway, he's been working so many hours and we haven't been able to spend much time together lately...alone...without our sweet blessings running around our ankles or are beautiful drama-filled teens giving us a rundown of their personal dramas and disasters. So I took it upon myself to take my hubby out on a date. We went to dinner and then to the movies...

I had no idea what I was about to see. I had no idea what Fireproof was about except for the fact that it was supposed to be great movie for husbands and wives to go see together. Hum...okay. We'll go. There isn't much out there worth seeing nowadays, and a husband-wife film rated PG?! Woo-hoo! It's about time.

I honestly don't even know how to explain what I felt during the movie, after the movie and even right now, 3 days later. Part of me wants to tear up and another part of me wants to yell out a loud AMEN! I want my hubby to come home right now so I can give him a hug and tell him I love him. There's another part of me that's a little sad...sad because I wasn't prepared for the life-changing counsel I was about to partake in that night. It's like it came, hit me over the head and then I had to take it all in with no warning. I want so bad to go back and do it all over again.

This movie is inspirational. A masterpiece about life and marriage. It has captured marriage in a reverent and beautiful way. It provides direction and hope for all who will just put their heart, soul and mind in Jesus' hands. It's a simple, but profound message of love and hope. It reaches deep in the soul and reminds couples of the covenant they took upon themselves at marriage and the sacredness of it.

The message Fireproof offers will change lives. Fireproof will change marriages. Fireproof will bring people unto Christ and bring back those that are lost. Marriages and families will be strengthened. Hope will find its way into despair-filled hearts. I can promise you that you will not leave this movie the same person you were when you walked in. It cannot happen.

When the movie ended the entire theater broke out into the loudest applause. I have never witness an applause at the end of a theater movie. I think it took about 30 seconds for the applause to stop and for everyone to start standing up to leave. As I went to stand up my husband grabbed my hand and pressed his check against my head. At that moment my heart skipped a beat. I turned to look at the crowd and I stopped dead in my tracks. Husbands and wives were standing and hugging, tears of joy and hope were running down faces of both men and women, some still sat almost too overwhelmed to move, and others stood and stared not wanting to leave the spirit that filled this theater. I too did not want to leave. I had forgotten I was in the theater and when the lights went on it was actually a disappointment.

Please go see this movie. Make it a point to go with your spouse or fiance. Open your heart and mind to the beautiful message.
