i went with a group of 10 girls this last weekend to see the much-anticipated he's just not that into you. and man have i heard some very strong opinions about it.
myself? i actually enjoyed it. it's funny and it's entertaining. sure, there are parts that remind you how sinful and messed up we really are, how messy relationships are, and how in control we all really want to be. but there's also a lot of truth to it.
i'll be the first to admit that i all-too-often make assumptions (and i'm sure make a fool of myself) when i'm positive that cute boy i meet at a party is so into me. i know for a fact that i believe the lie that (despite the fact that it's the same scenario, the same type of guy, the same situation) this time it will be different.
we girls are easily blinded by our need to feel affirmed and admired.
but thankfully i know truth that can set me free from that. i know that the Lord looks at me and says "you are precious in My eyes, and honored, and I love you" (isaiah 43:4) that i am "fearfully and wonderfully made" (psalm 139:14) and that i am "clothed with strength and dignity, and can laugh at the days to come" (proverbs 31:25).
i want to be a woman who can laugh at these scenarios, clothed with strength and dignity, confident of my identity and position.
and fan of the movie or not, you can't deny that it has a rockin soundtrack -- highlighting nashville's own erin mccarley!!
and this video will surely make you smile...
