Unexpected Places

So, after yesterday's write up about being so stressed, my day grew progressively more anxiety-filled. I told someone that I felt like a kettle of water moments before it boils. I did laundry, I helped my son with his school work, normal everyday things, and I still couldn't shake it. I wondered how I would get some time.

Then I asked. My dear hubby who will do nearly anything for me, I asked him if he could make supper for the kids and let me go out. Get away for the evening. So I texted a friend and asked her to join me and we went out. Grabbed a quick bite to eat at a fast food restaurant (I wasn't worrying about it being healthy or not) and we decided to go watch "Son of God" at the Cineplex. 

I needed every minute of it. More than two hours of being taken out of my current circumstances and brought to a place where I was so stunningly and visually reminded of what really matters. Of the unshakeable core of all that I believe in. Of how desperately in love with Jesus I am. By the time the movie was over, I was once again centered. I was looking for a way to unplug and reconnect with what mattered and it unexpectedly happened in a movie theater. I went home last night and had a good sleep. 
 

So, if you get a chance and the movie "Son of God" is playing in your area, go see it. The gentleman who played the role of Jesus did a fantastic job. My young friend who went with me asked on the way home, "Jenny, do you think Jesus was really like that?" To which I replied with a slowly spreading grin, "Oh yes, but even more so." Most of the drive home was quiet as both of us were busy thinking about truths driven home through scenes in the movie. But even more so my heart was wrapped up in the wonder that one day soon I will be able to touch that dear, sweet, beautiful face and tell Him how much I love Him. 

Because one day VERY soon He's coming to take those who believe in Him HOME.
