last day
yay tml is the official start of proper school holidays wheeeee!chem spa was rather fine. just that i forgot that the tripod stand was called the tripod stand. so i just wrote bunsen burner stand heh :D i sure hope i didnt screw up my general approach & conclusion! those two parts i don't like ): ahwell its over! :D
yep went out with charis, diane, grace & teng! went to eat lunch & then we went to watch NARNIA! :D grace couldn't make it but ohhhh you really should have come! best movie since like... a longlong time :) haha yep anyway, i did reflections on the show somewhere else where hardly anyone knows about & since i really feel that everyone ought to read it so yes BE PREPARED FOR LONG POST! its rather long so yeah (:
if i had another word for Narnia: Prince Caspian, it would be faith.
one
word for the movie: AWESOME.
What really really really amazed me was the
hidden meaning behind the whole movie. seriously, i didn’t really expect to get
anything that spiritual out of this movie, since i didn’t think there was
anything much about it. just that alot of fighting. well, i though the 1st movie
was great & i really wanted to go see the 2nd one but i really didn’t expect
myself to come out of it feeling so refreshed & just.. amazed.
hmm
but before i go into that part, i would like to say that the cast was really
awesome charis just fell for the mouse (MOUSE, NOT RAT), diane fell for Aslan
& the prettty handsome prince, i thought that peter was getting all the more
hotter while edmund was becoming pretty good (okay i also just really enjoyed
his character this time round), susan was just really prettty & prince
caspian was really good too! ((((: & Lucy, amazed me beyond words. as for
teng uhhh i don’t know how she felt for anyone cus i wasn’t sitting beside her
hahhaa. okay for me i really thought that everyone was good, in their own
special way haha (:
okok! sooo. i wouldn’t really go into the plot of
the movie but basically, alot of the old narnians kinda lost a wee bit of faith
in Aslan (the lion, which is just a representation of God) & so did Peter.
however lucy was still the one who really believed that Aslan was there &
that the one who really could win the battle was not them, but Aslan.
(some of the qoutes are somewhere along that line, some are exactly
those words)
Lucy: remember that he was the one
who really killed the white witch?
Peter: well, we can’t
depend on him anymore, he’s not here is he? we’ve gotta do it ourselves
& what happened? the lost that battle they went into. yes it just
reminds me of the israelites who sometimes just think that they could do it
themselves & they could just do without God. & they lost it. & it
just reminds me of ourselves. living in this modern day & time. how
sometimes we are so stubborn to admit that we do need His help. till we fall so
hard, then do we surrender everything to Him.
*Lucy claimed that she
saw Aslan while the rest didn’t see him
Peter:
well, why didn’t i see him?
Lucy: maybe, you just weren’t
looking
how true. sometimes we look so much at ourselves we fail to look
at Him instead. we cry & think & say out loud “God, where are you? why
are you not here?” & you know what dear friends? maybe, we need to seek Him
out. & then, we’ll find out that He’s been there all along. just right
there. we need to put down our pride, our jugdements for His glory & wisdom.
only then, can we really experience God.
*when Lucy found Aslan
Aslan: why didn’t you just come & find me?
even when the rest didn’t believe so?
Lucy: well… i guess i
was a bit afraid.
this, really impacted me so much. Lucy was the
youngest of them all. & yet she was the strongest of them all. she kept the
faith, she continued believing, although fear & fear of rejection did pull
her back from really finding Aslan from the very beginning. & God really
moved me there & then. on how it really dosent matter whether people back us
up or whether we’re so young, because we can do great works for Him if we just
believe, have faith & have hope. it really sparked that spark in me all over
again. hmm yeaaa.
Don’t let anyone look down on you because you
are young, but set an example in for the believers in speech, in life, in love
in path & in purity. 1 Timothy 4:12
currently i
can’t remember anymore interesting quotes haha. (:
but yes Lucy really
really amazed me. her faith level just made my faith level rise. As for Edmund,
i really admire his character now because its so different, & he’s really so
ready to change & listen to lucy. & he really was a stronger guy
compared to peter at first. peter is someone i too really admire because
although in the beginning he really did doubt, & because perhaps he though
he was once the high king, whatever he does will be right & will succeed.
& he forgot to put Aslan into the picture. which is why the first battle
failed terribly. but after he realized what he did was wrong, he really did make
an effort to change & yes he was awesome (: & i admire him for coming
down to a whole new level & just surrending, & having more faith.
oh
yea & how prince caspian was really driven to desperation & full of the
sense of failure at one part. the weirdo dwarf brought in medians & yea he
almost welcomed the white witch back. it just reminds us on how important it is
to be full of Christ, so that the devil will have no way to enter you, or even
tempt you. it shows how people without that have fallen away & have come
under the hands of the devil. & i for one, really hope that that will never
happen to me & in fact i will not let the devil taunt me because i belong to
the Lord always. & that my dear friends, is what i dearly hope that you will
believe too (:
later on in the 2nd battle, they did win, because Aslan
won it for them. which also once again goes to show, the battle is the Lord’s,
the victory is ours! the narnians didn’t exactly have to fight till the end with
the baddies, because Aslan won it for them. yea, i was pretty happy during that
part. (:
thank you so much Lord. the movie was such a great timing. if i
watched this any earlier than now i probably wouldn’t get half the messages in
it. but God’s timing is so right. i’m so glad i went to watch it. its amazing
how He speaks through all sorts of things, including this! faith, is something
i’ve been thinking so much about lately & He just showed me so much in just
2hours plus, almost 3hours. & i really can’t help but to type it all out
here haha. now it really means alot more than the 1st & so an awesome job
done by the directors & cast! brilliant show. i’m really grateful for it!
hmm yes. so yeah GO WATCH THE SHOW. its really good :D pretty funny too. i don't know if it will impact you, but it sure did for me. (:
