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.”
I have really enjoyed being able to watch some quality Christian films through this review program! When I saw that Erin Bethea, who was in Fireproof, was in this movie I wanted to check it out. I also liked what I read about the synopsis. This Is Our Time is a thought-provoking film that focuses on the purpose God has for our lives. It brings out the point that God's timing, even though it may not be our timing, is perfect and He has a plan for what happens in our lives. The character Ethan feels like he's not worth as much as the rest of his friends and family because several things haven't gone the way he'd planned. But God shows him that even when you're not doing what you planned, it's still in God's plan. I also loved how Ale's character challenged her friends and family to be who God created them to be.
This was not a action packed film (I'm thinking of how fast-paced "Courageous" and "Fireproof" were), although it did have some humor and the actors made their roles seem very authentic. I felt like I could relate to the characters in the story. Most importantly, though, I related to the deeper meaning the movie was trying to convey. Even though the role I have in my own life...a wife, mom, teacher to my children...may sometimes seem like it's not impacting the world and is often challenging, I'm right where God wants me to be. The role He has me in is important and He is using me in the lives of those I love and come in contact with on a daily basis. I would definitely recommend This Is Our Time.
If you'd like a copy of this wonderful movie, I am giving one away if you comment on this blog post! I'm not particular about what you say, but feel free to share what role God has you in right now. Are you a wife, a mother, a teacher, a friend? Love to hear about it! We'll draw a name on Sunday and let you know who the winner is that evening : ).

I can totally relate to this movie. Most things in my life have not gone as I planned. In the end, I am thankful for God's timing and that His plan prevailed. It is so much better! Right now I am a homeschooling mom and military spouse. A lot of what I do is unseen and mundane work. It is hard to see the point in doing so many routine "jobs" and I can start to feel like I am not doing anything BIG for the LORD. I need to remember that I am right where He wants me to be and I am doing what He has planned for me at this time. Thanks for the reminder Stacey. Sounds like a great movie! Can't wait to see it. :-)
