Was feeling a bit irritable because I was physically tired and I had to go to work, good thing, I had planned to watch Frozen by Disney the day before today. Inside of me, I felt, I needed a little bit of magic to help me get my working rhythm back. It's a beautiful thing how a movie can mystify one's world and fill it with wonder and amazement, making one wish that what is seen on the cinema screen would pop out of the screen and become real - magically real.
So back to me, being irritable, with my right eye twitching, wanting to sleep, I got some family to join me in watching Frozen. We drove, we talked while driving, I was still irritable. We reached the mall, then parked and, yes, I was still irritable. Family wanted to eat dinner and get their snacks for the movie, but I insisted on buying the movie tickets first, before doing anything else, giving myself no reason to go home and not watch the movie, just in case I lose my temper and everything else. And so we did. Hello movie tickets to Frozen.
Oh yeah, good thing I bought the tickets first, I didn't know that the mall where we're watching was having a midnight sale with all sort of huge discounts on everything. I had to do an errand, family went ahead and ate their dinner and bought their movie snacks, I ended up doing nothing because of the long lines of people everywhere, from the ATM machine to the drugstore. But I cornered myself, and cornered I was. I was going to see Frozen for sure.
Alright, my head was aching real bad, my right eyes twitching real bad, I felt real bad, but I had my Frozen tickets already. Wanting to feel a bit better before Frozen, I got myself a cup of hot cappuccino, which I almost spilled, and boy, it felt real good, as it went down my throat. Family was ready to enter the cinema, I was ready, we went in.
The movie trailers were great, it started to pump me up, and with the cappuccino I was drinking, my night was starting to get better. Head ache went away, right eye twitching went away, me being irritable went away. I was going to enter into another world, a magical world, where a happy ending is bound to happen.
Frozen, Frozen, Frozen. Anna and Elsa, Kristoff and Sven, and of course, Olaf, they all made me feel magical. I entered Arendelle, I joined Anna and Elsa's childhood 'til they grew up. I felt with Elsa, as she secluded herself from the world because she didn't want to hurt anyone. I got bored with Anna, as she grew up on her own, inside closed doors and windows. I grieved with them when their parents passed away. Then, I got excited when it was time for Elsa's coronation day. I felt Anna's energy as the palace gates opened and she was surrounded by all those people. I fell in love too as Anna fell in love with Hans. I got angry at everyone when they labeled Elsa a monster! I ran away with Elsa into the cold, beaten, hurt, that grew into freedom and power! I enjoyed the cold as the cold never bothered Else anyway, especially her ice castle. Then I ran too with Anna, who came running after Elsa. I also enjoyed Kristof and Sven's company as they brought Anna to the north mountain. I happily met Olaf, and loved his innocent humor. I cried inside as Elsa shut out Anna again, but this time with a snow monster (that looked like one of the rock monsters from the Clutch Powers Series, a Lego Character). I felt Anna's confusion between liking Kristof or Hans. I got really mad at Hans, when he proved to be a traitor. And... I felt so, so, so sorry for Anna, as she was frozen alive, saving her sister, Elsa. And then, then, love happened. Love melted away all Elsa's fears, and brought Anna back to life. Magical. Love is magical.
Frozen. From the opening scene to the closing scene, everything was full of magic, I felt the magic. I thank God for teaching us, mere man, to animate our ideas, and materialize our imaginations. If man can create beautiful images, and can imagine beautiful scenes, how much more our God who created us all. I want to see the auroral borealis with my own eyes, and one day, please God, allow me to see it with my own eyes. I want to enjoy snow, I want to continue enjoying the love among me and my sisters. I want to be a good big sister to my sisters. I want love to prevail in my life, rather than fear. I want to ice skate again, and feel the cold breeze as I slide swiftly on the ice. I love every bit of Frozen.
Thank you Lord for this wonderful, magical movie. I was reminded that when we realize the gift that You have placed inside of us, we are not supposed to hide it. We are supposed to harness it, master it, for the benefit of the many around us. I was reminded that love, love, love, is powerful than fear. And that in our imperfect world, where there is imperfect love and fear is inevitable, Your perfect love, drives out the fear and reinforces the imperfect love in all of us for the better, when we receive Yours.
I now will sleep with a happy heart, still imperfect, but trusting that God has more magical things in stored for me, and my family. I will not be frozen in Frozen, but I will be frozen in the truth, that my God loves, loves, loves me. And that I can let go, because He's got me in His hands.
Still wondering though, as I write this, why the snowman was named, Olaf. And, harhar, it helps reading all the movie credits, you never know that you're going to read. *wink*

@PreTTyFaYe511 Great review and thanks for relating your feelings and experience. Good to see your thankfulness for our Creator that makes all good things possible. In this world we go through many nightmares but like you I am certain that our most treasured and pleasant dreams are nothing compared to all the good things that God has in store for those that love him.
