Movie Review: October Baby

 {The trailer}

Hannah's world has turned upside down. at 19 years old, she has just found out that not only is she adopted, but she was a survivor of a failed abortion. Going on a road trip to discover who she really is, she must learn to choose forgiveness, and learn to forgive herself.

I ♥
  • The immensely pro-life story line. I cannot even believe how wonderful it is. Really. It presented abortion in a way that did not condemn those who have had one, yet it showed the injustice. That is a difficult balance to keep.
  • The plot. Even if said from a secular viewpoint, this movie had a fantastic plot, with plenty of twists that you don't see coming.
  • The tear-jerking scenes. It may seem funny, but some movies you just need to have a good cry. This movie was one of them. 
  • The true story that inspired this movie. There is actually a woman named Gianna Jessen who is actually an abortion survivor.
  • The music. Even though most of the music was more in the background, I LOVED it. Actually, one of the songs {Ocean Floor}is one that Gianna Jessen is singing. 
I didn't ♥
  •  One scene. There was a scene where, due to unforeseen circumstances, Hannah and  Jason are forced to share a hotel room. Nothing super inappropriate happens, and they end up not even staying in the room. But still, a bit inappropriate.

Overall:
This is a fantastic movie. I urge you to go see it. I believe it is in theaters for another week or two, and I would definitely take anyone 13+ to this movie. I would love to support this movie as much as possible. Truly.

Why Should I Worry?

So why should I worry? 

There are a million reasons to worry.
There are a million reasons to fret. 
There are a million reasons to doubt God.

Not one of them is valid.
 

God has promised to never leave us. He isn't going anywhere. 
He promised, and when God makes a promise, I believe He is going to come through. 
Jesus said He has overcome the world. The world includes any problems I am having. 
He overcame them. It is already done.
He will supply my needs according to His riches and glory.
By His wounds I am healed.
We have not been called to a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind.

We are no longer slaves to fear. We have been freed.
 

There aren't any reasons to worry.
There aren't any reasons to fret.
There aren't any reasons to doubt God.

So why should I worry?
