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

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”
