In Day, we start with a young girl who was not taught or forced a religion in her home life. She prayed and believed he was real. However, she soon realizes that she has been taken advantage of him and comes to a point in her life where she is exploring a new world on her own. She reflects back on times when she did not have God in her life and realizes better decisions could have been made with his help. When Day gives birth to her daughter, love overflows. She believes it is crucial for her to have to find it. Finding God's love is not easy as she has to reject her own husband to join the Catholic church, which she finds necessary. Day feels that finding God's love her is not only important for her, but also important for her daughter.

I completely agree with this synopsis! I just wish I could learn from others mistake and realize that I always need God in my life. It is just so hard to listen to God when you are leading such a crazy life in college. I have such difficulty wanting to wake up to go to church and hear the word. And in a larger view, I have a difficulty waking up spiritually. Thank you for the post!
ReplyDeleteIt is so important for us to realize what Day realized-- (that finding God's love was not only important to her, but important to her daughter also.) We must remember that we live in a community and we need each other and the decisions we make for ourselves will also affect other people... we impact, influence, and touch the lives of others whether we realize it, whether we want to, it is up to us to choose whether we will be a positive or negative influence... I so easily forget how closely we are all wound together...
