Revelations on Twilight

I was watching Twilight Friday night with some amazing girls, and it was awesome. I had read the first two books, but not seen the movie until it came out on dvd. And though these books and movies are completely dangerous and not at all uplifting for a girl to see (another rant for another time), we watched it anyway.

There's a part in the movie where Bella totally freaks out because Edward is telling her that the right thing to do would be to leave her and never see her again. And even though at this point she knows he's a vampire, and could kill her at any moment, her fear comes from losing him. This part of the analogy doesn't have to do with anything, but it just kinda shows how much Bella is in love with him. It's like how our relationship with Christ is supposed to be. We should be so in love with Christ that we don't care what happens to us, or what other people think. But 'not caring' doesn't even come close. When Edward hints that he may leave, for her sake, she is so in love with him that she starts panicking...hyperventilating even. He is her air. Her possibility of being killed is the least of her worries; now that Edward is in her life, nothing else matters.

Another part we liked was when Edward says to a worried Bella, "You are my life now." Nothing in his life before he met Bella gave him meaning until he met her, and she now she consumes him. His (and her) life is drastically different now that they are together.

LORD, help me to live every moment consumed by you. You are my life now.
