I've really been paying attention to my habits when it comes to tv lately. And what I'm noticing about me scares me alittle. I've found that I am capable of getting so sucked into tv/movies, that I allow it to affect me to the core. For instance, I just watched The Back-up Plan a movie where the main character goes for invitro fertilization because she wants a family and hasn't found the perfect mate. Well, the day that she goes in and just happens to get pregnant, she also meets just minutes later the man of her dreams. And the movie unfolds their story of how she tells him of her pregnancy and how they work through it together. The movie itself left me feeling lonely and sad. I think mainly because of the ending (which to most is a happy one no worries.) But I allow those types of movies to as Seth would say, emotionally manipulate me. Thats so not cool. Because the truth is that I'm loved by the creator of romance. Jesus Christ himself. I'm not really sure where this blog is going other than its time to allow the Holy Spirit to do the work that has already been stirred up in me and correct my allowance of emotional manipulation, and if I'm finding a movie/tv show that is doing that to me...maybe I just need to start walking away or turning it off. Cause really, that movie brought no glory to God so why did I finish it anyway?! huh...oh well.
On another note...I had the most fantastic weekend in Wisconsin with Kati, Gregg and Ryan! Heres a picture of Ryan and I at the apple orchard that he, Kati and I went to while Gregg was at work!
