40 day challenge day 11: what do I know about football?!

I once told a friend I could make a theological point based on anything. We then proceeded to have a theological discussion based on an odd sock… However, I think I may have exaggerated. Because a different friend requested football in a post. I am not an avid follower of football, I much prefer playingContinue reading “40 day challenge day 11: what do I know about football?!”

40 day challenge day 10: Waiting on a miracle

OK, last day in Encanto (please keep cheering to a minimum, some people like Disney…) Now we reach the main character, Mirabel herself. Mirabel wasn’t blessed with a gift when she became the right age. She doesn’t have a room of her own. At the beginning of the film we see her introduce her wholeContinue reading “40 day challenge day 10: Waiting on a miracle”

40 day challenge day 9: We need to talk about Bruno…

OK, so if you haven’t seen Encanto, that title is very random! But I can’t put him off any longer. Bruno is Abuela’s son and Mirabel’s uncle. He is absent for the first half of the film. His gift is having visions of the future. People don’t always want to hear his visions. Bruno lovesContinue reading “40 day challenge day 9: We need to talk about Bruno…”

40 day challenge day 8: Control

Woops, late post today. But it is still today and not tomorrow, so it still counts! (It just might make a little less sense than usual…) OK, we’re not done with Encanto (recap is on day 5). But today’s character doesn’t have her own song. Or she doesn’t have a song specifically about her. SheContinue reading “40 day challenge day 8: Control”

40 day challenge day 7: Being perfect (or not)

Sticking with the theme (yes, I have too much time on my hands and have probably seen this film too many time), Encanto strikes again. Today, Mirabel’s other sister. Need context? Read the post from day 5 (and day 6…) Isabella’s gift is to create flowers and beautiful things. In the introduction song, she’s calledContinue reading “40 day challenge day 7: Being perfect (or not)”

40 day challenge day 6: Pressure

Encanto, day 2. What else can be a barrier to a close relationship with God? Enter Luisa, Mirabel’s oldest sister. (If you need a catch up on what I’m talking about, read yesterday’s post and/or watch Encanto.) Luisa’s gift is being super strong. She can fix leaning houses, redirect a river, carry multiple donkeys andContinue reading “40 day challenge day 6: Pressure”

40 day challenge day 5: You can’t earn it

I wonder if you’ve seen the latest Disney film, Encanto? It’s a dream for children’s work. The story has a great message, the characters are relatable and the development for each are things that children can take on board and learn from. In fact, not just the children. That’s why it’s made its way intoContinue reading “40 day challenge day 5: You can’t earn it”

40 day challenge day 4: Be Still

It’s Saturday. The weekend. I’ve got no work due today. So that means it’s time to do my washing and hoovering and… No. Thats not right. It is so easy to be busy. But sometimes we need to clear the busyness away. We were not designed to work non stop. Jesus says as much (Mark’sContinue reading “40 day challenge day 4: Be Still”

40 day challenge day 3: Worthy of it all

Forgive me, this is a short post, possibly a bit of random rambling. I’m not feeling 100%, so I’m just sharing a moment when I met God today. I had an interesting kind of day today. It involved preparing for an event that we have subsequently had to cancel. But while I was merrily paintingContinue reading “40 day challenge day 3: Worthy of it all”

40 day challenge day 2: The wrong direction

Reading back through some previous posts, it almost reads like I’ve got it sorted, this walking with God thing, (I don’t) like I never waver (I do). My favourite stand alone film which I come back to time and again as a ‘feel-good’ film is The Frisco Kid. I may have posted about it before.Continue reading “40 day challenge day 2: The wrong direction”
