i watched the movie "Moon" the other day, and I have to say that even though it is a very quiet movie (not much to the soundtrack) and a lonely movie, it was one of the better ones i've seen in a while...
i also rushed out to see the new Alice in Wonderland. I liked the movie for many reasons... one of the main reasons being that alice is placed in a world where she can't remember ever visiting wonderland, she thinks it was all just a dream... and when she returns it takes her a while to believe that she is the "real" alice. sometimes that's how i feel. that it takes me a while to really believe who i am, and that i'm in the right place. to live up to the destiny that God has called me to. we all think it would be easier if we just knew what is to come, like alice, they kept telling her that she was meant to slay the jabberwocky, but it took her a while to believe that she was capable of that future. if we were to know where our path of life is to take us, would we still believe that we could accomplish those big tasks? or is that maybe why God only lets us see a small bit of our path at a time.
i also liked that this wonderland is a bit dark. to me, it was still beautiful. and i will always appreciate the mind of tim burton and what he creates.
i've also been very into the last season of LOST. There are so many themes of good vs evil, and predestination and again, living up to who you are meant to be and having the faith to believe it...
i find it very interesting that the man of faith, locke, is now portraying the smoke monster, and that jack is now starting to believe that he was brought to the island for a purpose... last nights episode left me wishing that the other 9 episodes would continue and the wait of a week in between would disappear.
lovedrug has 3 new songs out that i can't stop listening to... usually lovedrug is the music i would choose to listen to in the fall, but these new songs are justly fitting to spring.
its hard at times to be happy about spring, because spring signifies new life and at times it feels like more is being cut off and dying than coming back to life. this winter has been a rough one. i'd like to say that i have life figured out, but all i can say is that i know i'm still where God wants me. there are many things i wish i could change, but i'm just learning to trust God in the midst of it all. maybe someday i will see the desires of my heart be met. i have to at least hold on to that hope of someday. michigan can be a lonely place, but i press on because God has a bigger plan and i choose to believe that.
the sun has been shining for 3 days straight and i am loving it! they say rain is to move in, and you know, i don't even mind the rain. i especially look forward to spring/summer thunderstorms.
its funny too, because when i was a kid i can remember hiding in the laundry room because i didn't like storms and now i can't get enough of them. i miss being able to sit on my front porch in chicago during storms and yes, i even miss playing in the rain and jumping in puddles with a friend when life seems a bit dark...
