My 1st Giveaway!
Well, I figure that I've shared enough about the movie Fireproof that I want to give it away so for the next few months I'm going to give the movie away. If you haven't seen it, this will be your chance to get it for free and hopefully impact you the same it has me. It's coming out on DVD and I have pre-ordered it so I want you to write me and be a guest blogger...share with me and the rest of the world (because you are giving me permission to post your response on the blog) about anything you have learned from marriage or anything you love about marriage, anything you want. You can email BaleyPlascencia@yahoo.com your posts to me or use the comment link below. And please share any Bible verses that you think would be helpful in relation to your story! I'm very excited about this because I have been asking a couple friends who are getting married to write for me and I know when they get time they will, but this might give them some great ideas and encouragement! I love you all and thank you for having fun and loving the Lord with me in all you do, His JOY is what keeps us going. Psalm 51:12

I love ur blog! I'm one of your followers!
Ok Mrs. Baley, here it goes. We talked and I told you since I read this blog, i have wanted to respond, not necessarily for the movie giveaway, but because I have read the book and it brought so much to me. So here it is. I have finished reading Fireproof, and I have bought it and sent it out to the people I love the most, so that they too can benefit from it. Not because you try to fix their marriage, or because anything is wrong with it, but because I love them all and hope and pray that something in that book clicks and maybe just maybe betters them as a human being, Christian, and yes, even partner. But this is what I got from it. I got a positive outlook to marriage. Coming from a surrounding of not so positive outlooks, I learned "marriage." Is not just a commitment, its a covenant. Not just with your spouse, but with God. And in trying to work out a marriage, the good and the bad, you are also working on a covenant with God. That in a marriage there REALLY ARE 3. But first you must know how to put God first and above all else. You must learn to trust and put your faith in God. That things will change, and things may hit rock bottom, but if you have a strong foundation with God, and hold on tight, you WILL survive. You will come out stronger and better. That God gives you the person meant for you, you may not always like the packaging after awhile, but it is what God needs in your life. And we must remember that we OURSELVES may not always be the best packaging for our spouses, but we must never give up in trying to be who the Lord intended us to be in order to give our spouses whom they were intended to have. Many parts of the book struck and stuck with me, but one in particular makes sense. We can not change people, they are who they are until "they" choose to change, but you can have a part in that not by being negative or giving up or yelling or fighting, but by praying for them. Because ultimately, it is out of our hands. Ultimately, only God can change people. Ultimately, they will see that anything is possible once they accept God. And all you can do is be true to your God, and be true to yourself, and be there to support them in their path to God. We have to work on ourselves, and our relationship with God, and let God, and only God, work on them.
