Between the lines of Twilight...

Who reads the saga, watches all the movies, and then decides to blog about it all at 3 O clock in the AM?? This girl right here! Lol, I guess I am that crazy for Jacob! Haha, all in all from the author to the movie, this has had a bigger impact on me then you'd think.

Just like every other girl, they want to find that Jacob or Edward. That man who has everything a girl could ever want. True love. For me, the books and the movie( which, if you haven't realized yet, I am talking about twilight.) told something much deeper then that, something that what most people don't realize is not just in a movie, but something I truly believe in because of my gospel teachings. This last movie made me realize so many blessings we already had bestowed on this earth. From Bella and Edward falling in love, to Edward leaving her, and then coming back and asking her to marry him and live forever, to getting married and having a half human half immortal child, and being told that she must die, but she saves them all. Everything I just wrote had gospel teachings. Edward loved Bella so much, he left her because he didn't want to hurt her. There are missionaries out there who are serving two years, while some missionary girlfriends wait patiently for them to return because they know how much that man is worth. Edward returns and ask for Bella to marry him and become immortal, being able to live forever with him. Our gospel teaches us about temple marriage, and how if we are sealed, it will be for all time and eternity...forever. They have a half human half immortal daughter who becomes the peacemaker. She is the metaphor of Christ, and how he was half human, half immortal, and how he has saved us by coming to earth and being able to go through the plan of salvation so that we may live forever with our family.

All these thoughts were running thru my mind while watching part 2 of breaking dawn. It is amazing how so many people don't realize that the things that happen in this movie, are things that we believe in through this gospel...ITS REAL LIFE!! And although we may not be vampires or wolves, we are able to have everlasting love through sealing in the temple.

Watching this made me look at my own little family, and the trials that we are facing to get to being forever. It's amazing how big the adversary is to try to stop something from happening. To try to keep you from being with the ones you love most, forever. It's not so much that it took me to realize this all through one of the best chick flicks ever made, but more of the fact that its not just in a movie where you can be together forever, it's here on earth. Take advantage of something that has been here, conquer the challenge of being able to over come every obstacle. It's worth it all when you know how much your family means to you. It's worth fighting for.

Stephanie Meyer has to be one of the greatest authors to ever. Being able to mix a love story and gospel principles in....AND a Mormon billionaire!! Truly blessed!

If you haven't seen any or read any of her books, you're missing out on the greatest book ever written...after the bible and BOM, of course! Haha-
