I Saw The Movie "True Grit," The New Release. This Is My Insight On The Movie.

I saw the movie, “True Grit” the other day and I thought to myself, why am I going to see this movie (other than the fact that it was a family outing, which is very good.) This is not the typical type of movie I go to see. I love romance, happy ending movies, and funny movies, none of which was this movie. I told the family member after the movie that suggested we go see it that they did well, I enjoyed the movie.
Sometimes you have to step out of your routine and comfort zone to be able to experience something more in life than what you have experienced so far in your life. Let me clarify that statement, which is not inclusive of doing things like smoking, drinking, drugs, illicit sex and anything else that goes against the 10 commandments. Is that perfectly clear to you!!!
In the very beginning of the movie, they played an old time Christian song and I just loved the tenacity of the young girl’s character in the movie. She was fourteen years old but let me tell you the character she played was smart, knew the laws, a great negotiator, and was not afraid to confront the very killer of her father. She was determined to get the job done and she did. She also held people accountable too.
Sometimes when you go to see a movie (if you are open to it) there tends to be a story within the story you are viewing. Maybe I need to become more tenacious in my life than I already am. Maybe I need to not hold others so accountable like I do and me, myself, should become more accountable for my life than I am right now. I can do all things through Christ Jesus who strengthens me. I do not recall if she ever married when she became an adult. If she did not, do you think it could possibly be because she was intelligent and spoke out what she thought rather than holding back her words of truth? I suppose that could be intimidating in one respect to a guy. Especially back in the western day era, when women were subservient to the men. Sort of, do your chores and be quiet when it comes to thinking on your own. You are to do cooking, cleaning, darn laundry, garden, etc.
In some respects, things really haven’t changed that much throughout the years, except for the fact that there are women now that are the main “bread winner” in the family. They are now removed from having to do those chores because they have the means to hire someone to perform those duties.
It is biblical that the man’s role in a home is to be the head of the household. How many homes in America truly practice that? I can only imagine how a man would feel being subservient to his wife. A man is created and built already inside of him to be the head and when that doesn’t happen in his life does he then feel little or not fulfilled since it has been controlled by a woman? I do not know the answer to this since I am not a man. I am most thankful that I am a woman and I truly enjoy my femininity and allowing a man to come into my life and take care of me. I know my limits and the structure of a man created to lead would be most welcome in my life. I like dressing up and making myself look pretty, I enjoy it. I really enjoy being whom God created me to be. I know the right fragrance and how to wear it enough so that a good looking man in an elevator will compliment me on the choice of fragrance I wear. Yet, I am shy enough that if I sense a good looking man is looking in my direction I will turn my eyes downward, so as to not look back for I think that is too forward in a woman. A woman is created to be feminine and there is something built inside of me that just loves when a man comes to my rescue and to take care of me. I know this may not be a popular message to the feminist women out there but a woman was created to look beautiful and take good care of herself for her husband’s enjoyment. I love knowing that when I look good it will turn his head towards me. I do not have a concern that other men may turn their heads towards me it is just my husband that I want to turn his head towards me and he alone. Some women are created with a natural gift inside of them to please their husbands with the right look, gentle touch, and that certain smile that causes her husband’s head to not just turn in her direction but remain there. Other men will be jealous because he gets the true prize of all prizes a woman that loves him. She does not tear him down with cruel words but elevates him with uplifting/encouraging words. Even when a woman flows in ministry and she speaks words of encouragement to many people, only the most choice and tender words are saved for her beloved. The one that has captured her heart, words spoken from her heart touch his very heart.
Words can bring life or speak death into a person’s existence. Speak words of life often to those around you and save the most choice and tender words to speak to his heart. Women awaken from within and just try being a little less aggressive and let your husband lead as he was created to do and watch the wonder before your very eyes. Let him lead and sit back and enjoy the ride. All I ask is to try it at least once and see if there is not a big improvement on how it use to be.
Doesn’t this amaze/intrigue you how I think? I go see a western movie and here I am speaking about the femininity of a woman.
Proverbs 16:20 states “He who heeds the word wisely will find good, and whoever trusts in the Lord, happy is he.”
