Inception



You can't really say that you are into movies if you haven't watched or doesn't want to watch Inception!

When I went to the theaters last July, I was expecting a very intelligent plot, the kind that forces you to think and figure out what's going on in the movie, but Inception does more than that to your brain...

Here is the thing, if you look away from the screen for five seconds, there's a great chance that you will miss some important information about the story and might not understand anything. So my advice is keep your eyes glued to the screen, your ears attentive and your brain sharp.

This movie has everything, good cast, brilliant plot, lots of action, intriguing scenes and to top it all off, it has a message.

But I'd like to hear from you! If you have already watched it, please share your views in the comments below. What did you understand? What did you think of the movie? Did you like it? What message did you get from it?

If you haven't watched it yet, now is your chance, Inception is out on DVD and is sure to blow your mind away!

The Love of my life

It's far easier to look at all the bad things that have happened in our lives. All the words you've heard that hurt you so deeply, the affection you didn't get, the appreciation you never received and all the bad stuff that is engraved in the way you react to people and situations.

It's easier to look at everything you have lost and the opportunities you have missed and the mistakes you have made.

It's just easier to look back and see the good things you had in life and not really be happy about them, but instead, simply focus on the fact that you no longer have them.

But to dwell on the good things... that's not so easy.

So today, just now, I was thinking about how blessed my life has been, despite all the bad stuff. How far I am from what I once was, how much I have learned and how much I have grown and how many opportunities I have had. I have experienced things far greater than I have ever imagined or dreamed of.

I have had great moments in my life and have met some incredible people.

So, by thinking about these blessings, I tried to pinpoint the people responsible for them. I thought 'Surely my husband is one of them, after all he is a dream come true, literally'.

But then I thought about the friends I have and was certain that they are one of the main reasons I am blessed.

And then I thought about the life I've led and the sacrifices I have made and thought I had finally found what had caused me to be blessed.

But then my mind wandered to a place and a time when none of these things existed yet, no husband, no friends, no direction in life. Just loneliness, hopelessness, emptiness...

And so it was clear to me that God was the one who provided all these possibilities, He was the one who caused me to meet the amazing people I have met and gave me the opportunities I have had.

He knew exactly what I needed and gave me much, much more than what I expected.

He became the most important person for me, more important than anything I have... He is the love of my life!

Have you ever experienced unconditional love? The kind of love that doesn't diminish at the sight of your flaws, the one that doesn't end when you make mistakes?

That's the kind of love God has for you, all you need to do is to let Him in...
