Day 45 and I'm sitting watching Revolutionary Road with Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet.....they decide to risk everything to pursue their dream. As young parents they decide to leave suburban Connecticut and their regular middle class life and move to Paris.
Just to be.
Find themselves.
Do what they've always wanted to do.
Explore who they always wanted to be.
There's one scene where they sit with their two young kids and explain how far they were going to travel to reach Paris....and the kids talk about how they don't know any kids their and the parents assure them they will make new friends ....and eat snails.
I remember that day. Sitting with our two kids talking about crossing the pond and coming to live in America. They responded the same way ...leave their friends, not know anyone in Chicago ....and we assured them they will make new friends and they will eat ......well not snails anyway.
It's weird how in the movie a crazy, flipped out PhD Mathematician who's just spent time in a psychiatric ward is the only guy who gets why they are doing it.
"Knowing what you've got, knowing what you need, knowing what you can do without -that's inventory control."
Interesting line.
A soul line.
The movie moves on ......but this line was such a good line.
When you come to the point where you surrender to God being all you need - WOW.
So today I preached Paul's line about being a "slave of Christ Jesus".
Chain your life to Christ; be taken prisoner by Christ; surrender your rights, your life to Christ.......God is all you need.
Inventory Control.
Intentional following of Christ.
