I posted about a bad review of The New World movie made by New Line Cinema and promised a reflection out of it. So here it is!
This is fictional, 2006 version of someone’s secular view of what they thought the story of Pocahontas should be.
When we were watching it I said jokingly, " When I grow up I am going to make movies that tell the TRUE story!"
I am not really gonna do that, but I want too! It makes me SO MAD that movie makers think that they have to make their own version of a story that an author has spent his/her entire life creating only to have it rewritten by some movie maker who wants to make a lot of money off it. Yeah, they give credit to the real author, but then it doesn’t really belong to that author anyway after they mess with it.
Moviemakers- BE CREATIVE! WRITE YOUR OWN STORY and make a movie about it. Don’t steal someone else’s life work. Quit taking books and historical stories and change them to your own personal view of what happened. It already happened a specific way!
I was trying to reflect about how this could pertain to something important as I try to do with everything in my life, and I came to this conclusion: I don’t want to be a Fictional Believer. Or have a Fictional life. I don’t want to make my own version of my life story. It is already written. And if I don’t make it what the author has already written, then I am just a moviemaker making my own version of a story that the author has already taken time to write.
I want to follow God’s will. I want to be true to the story that God has already published.
Here is a verse concerning God’s Will.
Psalm 25:4-10 TruthQuest Inductive Student Bible NLT
"4 Show me the path where I should walk, O LORD; point out to me the right path for me to follow.
5 Lead me by your truth and teach me, for you are the God who saves me. All day long I put my hope in you.
6 Remember, O LORD, your unfailing love and compassion, which you have shown from long ages past.
7 Forgive the rebellious sins of my youth; look instead through the eyes of your unfailing love, for you are merciful, O LORD.
8 The LORD is good and does what is right; He shows the proper path to those who go astray.
9 He leads the humble in what is right, teaching them His way.
10 The LORD leads with unfailing love and faithfulness all those who keep His covenant and obey His decrees."
Proverbs 16:4 TruthQuest Inductive Student Bible NLT
"4 The LORD has made everything for His purposes, even the wicked for punishment."
I don’t want to lead a fictional life where people see me as someone when behind closed doors I am a completely different person.
I don’t know exactly the story I am supposed to be acting out. I know the only way to find this out is to obey and be in God’s will.
I am going to lead a non-fiction life from now on. I am a non-fiction Believer, who is tired of living a façade. I want to become the woman that God has created.
I am NOT a Christian. I think that word has lost its true meaning. Anyone can say they are a Christian to make themselves feel better.
I am a Biblical Believer of Christ. I am a weirdo, to most people I know, because of my beliefs. My family is shunned because of our beliefs. We have no friends.
The reason they, so called Christians that used to be our friends, shun us is because they feel guilty. They know in their spirits that we are trying to do what we know is Biblical and Godly. They hate us for being able to take control of our flesh and do what is right. They hate that we are able to stand our ground against the world and its sin nature. They feel guilty because they don’t want to let go of their fleshly worldly things they do. They feel guilty for not doing what the Bible says like we do when they are around us. When they are around us the Spirit convicts them of their sin, so it is easier to just not be around us then have to deal with the sin in their lives. That is why we are friendless.
But "what a friend we have in Jesus! All my sins and grieves to bear. Oh what a privilege to carry everything to God in prayer!"
Yes we, as a family, get lonely. But we have the best friend there is: JESUS!
And I have my family. Dad, Mom, Alatariel, Tigerlily, Eric, Hannah, Isaac, Caleb and baby #8!
Sometimes I wonder if it really is a good thing to live in small or medium size towns. If everyone knows everyone and you upset someone by not going to their church because its not what God wants for you, then everyone will be mad at you for upsetting the one person. And the whole town will turn against you!
Maybe it is better to live in a huge town where you know no one anyway. If you upset the one person and now no one talks to you and you have no friends anyway, then what is the difference if you are in a huge town and no one is your friend?
I am so sick of Fiction in my life and fictional characters. I want non-fiction.
That is why I am a Non-Fiction Biblical Believer of Christ and that is how I will stay.
Who are you? Fiction or Non-Fiction? Do you know? What do you want to be?
