So I have a completely new prospective on everything because of the life changing experiences associated with BCNW (Boot Camp Northwest). Unless you have young kids, you may never see the movie "Surf's Up", and if you do have kids, you may not have watched the movie through the "Wild at Heart" lens, I would like to share a peak. Below is a clip (10 Minutes, well worth the time) - this is the story of boy (Cody) who lost his father when he was very young. Cody has always wanted to be a pro surfer and has experienced a lot of brokeness in his life. In this clip you will see Cody and a charater named Big Z. Cody's path has led him to Big Z and in this clip you will see Big Z father Cody and then share some of his own "brokeness" around the campfire. The end of the clip is the best, because Cody lets go and you will see him walk through and overcome the brokeness that has kept him from becoming who he was meant to be.... enjoy!. By the way, I have 4 kids and since coming home from the last boot camp, have used this as an example with my 12 year old when discussing my story and seeking to understand his. Here goes! I know it sounds a little corny, but try to watch the clip through a lens that gets to the heart of how we become (or don't become) who we were meant to be.

Yeah, you posted :-)!! I have NEVER seen that movie...but what a cool clip...and an awesome lesson. Will have to share it with my boys!
ReplyDeleteYeah, the end of the clip where Cody is fighting to get out of the tube and finally emerges is awesome in surround sound! I must admit, I cry almost every time.
ReplyDeleteSo You Tube pulled the old clip. Here is one more, a less on the front end and more on the back end... instead of waiting until the end, he surfs the tube at about the 5 minute mark....
ReplyDeleteAWESOME...I love Surf's Up- great movie and this is a great clip that illustrates this idea well!
