A Little Help from Disney

Walt Disney proves to be a brilliant man.  He continues to touch the lives of nearly every human.  “It all started with a mouse.”  Each movie developed creates an unforgettable memory.  Each character spreads joy through the heart of the viewer.  When looking back at the scripts, I found quotes from popular movies that go deeper than just an hour long film.  I would like to share some. . .

“Live every moment as not to regret what you are about to do.”  ~Mickey Mouse
The way to develop this ability is to invite the Holy Spirit inside.  He will guide your steps and nudge your heart.  If you stray, He will lead you back.  Take a moment to think the situation through, pray about decisions and avoid whimsical lifestyles.  We can’t be perfect, but we sure can strive to live like Jesus.  Each moment can strengthen or weaken, develop or destroy, mature or keep stagnate. . .choose wisely.

“Oh yes the past can hurt.  But, you can either run from it, or learn from it.”  ~Rafiki 
We each have one.  You can’t get rid of it or change it.  Why run?  I can give you many reasons because I did it for so long.  The past hurts. . .BIG TIME!  Why would I want to deal with it?  Coming from a broken home, living an eating disorder, using all means to numb out and crashing full force to rock bottom; all I wanted was to run far away.  No matter how hard or fast you run, the past follows.  We must face it head on, pray through the pain and develop a ministry to help others living through the same storms.  God can bless any situation brought to the cross.  Hiding, running or numbing allows the devil to take hold of the reigns and pull you in all directions.  Your head spins wildly and your feet move further from the straight path.  Your past is just that. . .the past.  Lay it at the cross, learn from it and He will work it all out for His good!

“All it takes is faith and trust.”  ~Peter Pan
This statement says it all. . .no need to elaborate.  One thing; faith and trust develops as we get to know our God at a deeper level.  Read His Truth daily to grow and know Him and His promises!

“Look inside yourself, you are more than what you have become.”  ~Mufasa
Sometimes we must look deep inside, for the world buried the one God created.  Peel away the labels the world sticks to you: abused, addict, worthless, guilty, depressed, anxious, obsessive, outsider, unfit, etc.  Go deep to the heart with which you began.  God knit each of us together precisely just the way He desired.  He cared so much to touch every piece and count every hair on our head.  He knew what He was doing and thought it out completely.  The world works hard to negate everything done at creation.  Take a stand and STOP this process.  Use the sword of the Spirit. . .His Word!  You are more than past choices made, more than what others think or say. . .you are His child. 

“Why worry?  If you’ve done the very best you can, worrying won’t make it any better.”  ~Walt Disney
True Dat!  Coming from one that worries 95% of the day, worry kills the soul.  It steals joy, peace and clarity.  We spend our time worrying about what might happen and when we reach the time in which IT could happen, we have all we need to get through IT.  Often times IT never even comes close to happening.  Therefore, we wasted all that time for nothing.  Take each moment by the hand, working as hard as you have ability and praying for direction along the way.  This assures that the end result will be exactly as it should.  Remember, God will never lead you where His Grace cannot cover you.  Trust is very difficult if the world has only shown you the opposite.  Avoid placing the world’s parameters on our God.  He is bigger, greater and nothing like this world.  He loves, guides and cares more than you can imagine.

Hakuna Matata!

Keep praying harder than the devil can work.
