The movie that finally got Leo that Oscar!
I have to say that in all of this time, I haven't seen it before. There seem to be a lot of movies on this list that I have not seen before. I am very happy that I get the chance to see them now.
Hugh Glass has not had an easy life. His wife and son are killed and he get attacked by a bear, and it unable to stop the murder of his son. He struggles to survive on he way to a village to seek revenge for her son.
I won't lie, I wasn't really sure what I thought about this movie from a faith based perspective. I tried to think of something but I didn't find a sold comparison that felt "right" for me. I think that was the point because the point that Phil Strangolagalli made really helped me in this point of my life right now.
"...and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith..." Hebrews 12:1-2
So, Mr. Strangolagalli talks a lot about this movie being long but how it really resemble the life of Hugh Glass, and ourselves. Movie really are just a highlight reel of a larger story. Whether the movie is based off of a true story, or of one that is totally made up. He also mentions that God is always with us in the big and small moments. The good and the bad. The happy and sad. He is always in the dull and the exciting.
The reason I needed to hear this? I am in a season of life (particularly for this year) where is have been extremely busy. This thing is I now that my "normal" is most people's "busy" but I am at a breakneck speed of busy the last few weeks. I am barely able to find a time to sleep, let alone to get any of the person things I wanted to get done this year done. Like projects like this, or getting healthier, or reading more. The last two weeks I really feel like I am just behind. Like I can't get anything right or done. However, I am doing so many things that it some how balances it out?
As I am typing this out I am trying to figure out how to read my faith book I wan supposed to finish last month and still do the one for this month, while watching five more movies, and write more blogs. Then God told me to stop. He told me that I need to finish the one book I am ready, and not worry about making up one for May or June because I had a lot going on. I felt bad but cause "that's not how my projects work".
My project that I make the rules for.
So, I realized how silly I am being and taking His advice.
So, my projects for the next couple of month might not be what I want them to but at least I can enjoy them, and get them done. I can do it in a time from that is not going to make me upset but not doing them fast enough.
I also know that I need to get my time management under control in some parts of my life. I know God will help with that too.
Sometimes life is crazy thankfully God is good with crazy.
