![]() ( Love and Basketball, Not Easily Broken) I can watch the same beautiful romance movie and watch it the twentieth time and it would be as if I never watched it before. You can ask my family and friends, I can hear a love story over a 100 times and never get tired ( Tobi, Aunty Uzo :-). Love excites me, love makes me happy (like seriously happy, lol), I am fascinated by love and falling in love. ![]() I have said it time and time again here on 1 + The One that I Love Love :-) By the way, building community this deep requires that you get off social media, look up from your phone and have actual human contact! Just sayin’….I am a hopeless forever romantic. Needing to be loved and cared for is not a sign of weakness, it’s the way we humans need to relate to one another to build real and lasting communities. It’s at that moment when her life starts to really find hope and redemption. Amber eventually hits bottom in order to find this out and finally surrenders. But here’s the secret… people love you and want to help you and be there for you. It takes a lot of courage to be vulnerable and ask for help. We see this in GBBR in the character of Amber, who lost her husband in Afghanistan. On the flip side, if you are traveling a broken road it can be difficult to let people into your pain. Sometimes the very best thing is to just to take a moment from your day to pause, listen, and lend a hug or word of encouragement. You don’t have to be a professional counselor or therapist to help someone heal from a wounding. The feel that no one understands or cares what they are going through. Mother Theresa said the greatest poverty we have today is the poverty of loneliness because we have forgotten that we belong to each other. I think so many people suffer from depression and suicide because they think they are alone. This can make a huge difference when we are going through trying times. God has given us friends and family to lean for support and encouragement. We don’t have to travel our broken roads alone. When we turn to Him and humble ourselves, He can start to guide us and shape our brokenness into blessing. One of the keys to healing and hope on our broken roads are to turn our gaze to Him so that we can start to recognize Him along the path. He is always there and He is always providing us with amazing blessings, even when/if we don’t acknowledge them. What do you hope your viewers and readers take away from this story?įirst, that God is always with us, even if we don’t feel like He is or aren’t seeking Him actively. Within two weeks my agent had procured a couple contracts. So my agent put a pitch together and while we were filming I quickly wrote the first three chapters. In the spring of 2016 Harold shot God Bless the Broken Road in Manistee, Michigan.Ī few months earlier, as we finished the script version, I talked with the producers about penning a novel version. Over the course of the next year we refined it while the producers rallied the funds. We finished the first draft of the script on Christmas Eve, 2014. And then he asked if I wanted to write it with him. He pitched me the seed of the idea and asked what I thought? I said I thought it sounded like a solid story. My friend and director, Harold Cronk, who is best known for the God’s Not Dead movies, called me one fine summer evening. God Bless the Broken Road (GBBR) actually began as a feature film script four years ago. What inspired you to write this film & novel?
