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.”
MY take:
I loved it! The message of the movie is impactful and definitely left me thinking about what it is that God is asking of me to do with HIS time. As we are discussing often as individuals, a couple, and as a family what capacity God is asking us to serve Him, this movie really grabbed my attention as I watched the characters leave for mission work in India. It also tackles tough questions such as:
- What do I do with my life when "my" plans don't work out as I intended?
- What do I do when I don't feel valued by those that should love me the most?
- What do I do when faced with moral dilemmas in my career?
- What happens to my faith in the face of tragedy?
- What do I do when I feel like God has abandoned me?
"This Is Our Time" really tackled these type deep issues and left me thinking about how many times in my own life I've asked these same or similar questions.
All in all, I enjoyed it for it's entertainment value, but most especially for the spiritual messages. I honestly look forward to watching it again. For me, it wasn't a one time watch---just for reviewing purposes. I also think I'd would make a great gift for upcoming graduates!

I know that after viewing "This Is Our Time" that I am continuing to wonder what it is that God is asking of me and if that perhaps that THIS is the time to seize that calling!
