Tonight I went and saw the movie "October Baby". It was powerful. They asked me to give them three descriptive words of the show.
Mine were:
1. Powerful
2. Real
3. Revealing
It was different (in some ways) than I expected from the trailer. But, it was better. It made me thankful we chose open adoption for so many reasons. It was painfully accurate about some really hard things. It was beautiful and it was full of Truth. It made me thankful for adoption agencies like Aggieland Pregnancy Outreach and New Life that promote awareness of open adoption and the "why" behind it. It made me thankful for our birth-mother and her choices all over again.
This movie will be opposed by many.
It is way too full of Truth.
It is way to full of a really difficult reality. But it is so beautifully handled.
It is potentially full of healing for so many who feel like they are beyond the reach of peace. And so, it will be opposed. But, I am begging you - even if it is just because you are curious - to pre-order tickets to see the show when it comes to our town of College Station. You should also do that if you live in any other town where it is showing. Buy your tickets in advance - and take as many people as you can to see the movie with you. You won't regret it.
Our adoption agency had to agree to buy 1000 tickets in order to get the show to come to our theater. That means if 1000 tickets pre-sell, then they won't have to "eat" any costs. If not, the Lord will provide because I believe that they did it on faith because the message is so necessary. They want the Lord to be glorified and they want the Truth to be proclaimed. If you want to contact me about getting a ticket in advance, I will be thrilled to get you one - or many. Right now, the show will only be in College Station for the 23rd and the 24th. Unless we show up big time, and show the people at the theater that we love a good movie with a good message. The hard truth is, if it doesn't yield the dollars that something else will, they will oust it in a minute. But, every ticket purchased is a ticket that might mean it stays a day longer. Anyway, I highly recommend the show, the message and all the back story to anyone who wants to take a closer look at real life. It was very well done.
Now, I am going to spend some time processing all the things that are in my mind. God is bigger than the biggest mess we are in. He is Faithful when no one else is. He is merciful beyond any measure. I am smitten by His gracious love for me. I hope when you go to bed tonight, you are smitten by His love for you as well.
