Prince Caspian

I saw Prince Caspian on Friday night. I loved it. I am a passionate fan of all things Narnian. I was not disappointed. Sure the plot took some unexpected turns, but I was ok with it.

My Dad wrote some cool things about it in his blog...

Here is my comment on his blog...
I am very aware of the story as I read the Chronicles fairly often, so I did know when the movie plot took turns away from the book plot. However, I loved it. I am thankful that we live in a day and age when these stories that have lived for so long in my imagination are being brought to the screen in a way that doesn't damage my imaginings.

My only real complaint is when some of the sections of dialogue that are important to me from the books are left out of the movies. I love the experience too.

Reepicheep is my absolute favourite character in Narnia, besides Aslan. I think they did a wonderful job with him - Eddie Izzard gave him the voice and mannerisms that I always imagined.

My friend, Joann, said that she wishes she was Ramandu's daughter. I wish that she was too, because then I'd get an invite to the wedding and I could meet Reepicheep.

I'm very excited to see this film again and of course, can't wait for the rest of the movies.

Hope

So God is good. I'm still struggling with things, but I went to church tonight and found some hope. The first thing I heard was that I may not ever excel at much, but I can excel at worshipping God. That sounds a bit sad, but to me, right now, when I do indeed don't feel like I am excelling at much, it is a hopeful thing for me and I know it's the beginning of a journey for me.

I also heard an amazing message about God's provision. Ok, so the speaker happened to be my Dad, and he is my favourite speaker ever, but it was definitely something I needed to hear. I'll publish the link to the message when it gets posted on the web along with some other things that I felt God spoke to me.

In other news, Jude is a joy. He's giving lots of hugs and kisses right now which make my heart swell everytime. He's also talking pretty much non-stop and he's already laughing whenever he farts! A true boy.

Temporal

I'm in a season when I am either so full or so empty that I don't know what to do. I am a melancholy personality and so I struggle at times with darker thoughts and feelings. I have a lot to say, but it's a struggle to say it right now. This is a small step. I'm processing things right now. I know that I am blessed, I know that God is good. Life is still hard sometimes. But God is good. Oh, did I mention that life is hard? But God is good.
