About three weeks ago a man stopped by my office and gave me some promo material for the new movie that was coming out called: "Soul Surfer". To be honest, I am not one who is typically interested in Christian movies. I tend to think the cinematography can be cheesy.
I heard that this movie was going to be different and I decided that I needed to go see it and have some students come with. Last night I went and saw this movie with a few students and a few leaders and I have to say that I was amazed at how good this movie was! Now I have to share that the story touched home for me and there were times that I couldn't help but think: "What if something like that happened to one of my little girls?"
The movie has the theme that I love to see: Don't quit!
Hopefully you have heard Bethany's story and how she was bit by a shark and lost her arm. I am so impressed at this girl and how she continues to battle in life without quitting because most people would have. Bethany looses her arm and continues to surf. The movie does well at portraying the pain that she would have to endure with the loss of her love of surfing and how to get that back.
I appreciate how they show that Bethany questioned her faith, and God, in this movie. I think its more normal than not to question your faith in a situation like this one and I appreciate that the producer added this into the movie. Every single one of us is going to have pain and suffering in our life; the question is what will you do with that pain? Bethany chose to not quit surfing and now she is a pro! I would definitely recommend that you go see this movie and her Bethany's story.
