But out of His love for us, He made a way for us to come back. We were separated from Him by our sin, left alone and disconnected. And He is singing over us (Zephaniah 3:17), calling us back home, back to Him. I am reminded that regardless of who we have parenting us here on earth, we have a Father in heaven who has a perfect love for us. Here in Romania I volunteer with orphans and I am so filled with love for them each day. ![]() We are like the little boy, Evan/August, who seems to be without parents. I began to realize that this story of August Rush, is the story of our lives. After the movie finished I was overcome with emotion and had a flood of thoughts come to me. There are still many details I have not included, and the soundtrack alone makes this movie worth seeing. In one beautiful night the three are brought together while August’s Rhapsody plays out over them, sweeping the entire park into a single mass of joy and anticipation. Louis happens to be passing by at that time and is drawn to the concert after seeing Lyla’s name on the poster. He is given the opportunity to have his composition featured in a concert in Central Park, where Lyla, whom he has still not met, will also be playing. Others take notice and bring him to Julliard where he continues to grow in his gift. She teaches him how to read music and he begins to compose masterfully. Here he meets a girl named Hope who sings beautifully. Louis also comes to New York after deciding he wants to find Lyla and he too gets back into music by joining up with his old band.Įvan, now renamed August Rush, is staying in a church after the police raided the street home with Wizard and the other children. She also decides to get back into music at an upcoming symphony. But when Lyla learns of her son’s life by her father who admits to his actions made eleven years earlier, she flees to New York to find him. And Lyla, also no longer making music, is teaching children music at a school. Louis, at this time, is living in San Francisco no longer in his band. He is then taken by a homeless street musician known as Wizard who keeps many children and has them perform on streets and bring him back the money. He hears music wherever he goes, and this music, he believes, is his parents calling out to him.Īs the movie unfolds, we see his musical gift grow and blossom into a remarkable talent that sets him apart from others. But in the midst of his troubled life, he believes without a doubt that his parents are alive, and that they want to find him. ![]() ![]() But unknown to Lyla, her father gives us the baby for adoption telling Lyla that her son died as a result of the accident.Īfter eleven years, Evan (the son) is living in an orphanage, unaware of his parent’s whereabouts. Shortly after, she is hit by a car and the baby is born prematurely. She finds out she is pregnant with Louis’ son, but is still stuck in Chicago with her father who is not happy about the pregnancy. The two were separated after that one night by what was going on in Lyla’s life with her controlling father. It is a story about a boy born to two musicians, Lyla and Louis, who met unexpectedly at a party and slept together. This evening I saw a movie with a beauty that must be shared. A beautiful orchestra that has been fashioned for each of us with the instruments that make our hearts full and give us hope and bring us to tears. There is a symphony playing over our lives. ![]()
