Many thanks to WTA Media for providing a sample of the product for this review. Opinions are 100% my own.
When I hear that Kirk Cameron and the Kendrick Brothers have made another movie, I get excited. I have enjoyed watching their movies and they always inspire me. Their newest movie LIFEMARK did not disappoint me. It was a movie that I loved watching and I loved that it was based on a true story about choosing life and adoption.
Choosing the gift of life is a beautiful thing. It may not always be the easiest decision to make when you discover that you are pregnant with an unplanned pregnancy. Choosing to give life to a baby to only say goodbye to the baby, as you give the baby to someone else to raise is a hard thing to do. Choosing to endure 9 months of putting your life on hold to bless someone else with a baby is what adoption is all about.
I am Pro-Life
I look at my own life and I am thankful that my mom chose to give me life. I was her last baby of 5 children and I know that her life was not the best when she had me. She was married to an abusive alcoholic husband who was never home. So she was raising 5 kids under the age of 8 by herself. I can only imagine how she felt when she found out she was pregnant again after just having a baby 10 months ago.
I remember how I felt 15 years ago when I discovered I was pregnant with baby #5 and baby #4 was only 8 months old. I felt overwhelmed and scared! How was I going to take care of 2 babies so close in age? My older kids were all spaced 4-5 years apart. At the time, I thought that it was going to be impossible to take care of another baby. While I never had thoughts of ending this pregnancy, I just wished that I was not pregnant at this time in my life. Dealing with morning sickness and being tired while taking care of another baby was not easy. I was thankful that I had a husband who loved me and the baby that was growing inside of me. When I heard my baby's heartbeat for the first time, I was overjoyed that God chose to bless me with a baby. The first 6 months after baby #5 was born were tough, it was like I had twins, but now I look at my youngest boys as a double blessing from God.
LIFEMARK is a story of hope, of overcoming the obstacles life throws at us, reveling in the art of faith, grace, and perseverance.
