"This Is Our Time" movie DVD (review & giveaway)

About This Is Our Time:  The movie tells the interwoven stories of Luke (T.J. Dalrymple) and Alé (Erin Bethea), who marry right after school and move to India to serve as missionaries for Embrace A Village, a ministry that cares for those afflicted with leprosy and their families; aspiring financier Catherine (Kate Cobb), who joins a prestigious financial institution determined to make an impact on corporate America; Ryder (Matthew Florida), who lands an impressive job in social media and can’t wait to use the powerful medium for a greater good; and Ethan (Shawn-Caulin Young,) seemingly the odd man out, who struggles to find his God-given-purpose and feels sidelined by God.

    “What they all come to learn is that it never really was their time,” Arnold said. “It always was, always is, God’s time.”

Review:  This is a really nice movie about the lives of five college students who have high dreams upon graduation from college.  It will make you laugh and cry, but reminds us that we all have a purpose and that God alone shows and directs that purpose.  We just have to be willing to obey and then follow.

It also reminded me that although many of us may have had similar "high dreams" upon graduating high school or college, those dreams may not have come to fruition -- it doesn't mean that God still can't use us for His purpose and His Time.

Although it may seem like a low budget film, it is well worth watching and can easily be watched with the family.  No need to worry about inappropriate content.  (rev. P.Howard)
