Dream Big Dreams

I heard this "Dream Big Dream" saying from Mr. Buster Moon, one of the main characters of the cartoon movie "Sing". I frequently watch this movie because of Brielle. She loves watching this movie because of the animals singing and dancing thingy. She dances and sings too whenever Meena (the elephant) sings "Don't you worry about a thing".

I personally like this movie. I find this movie interesting and has a lot of life lessons to offer. 
But I wanted to focus more on the main character, which is Mr. Moon. 
He was a dreamer. 
As early as six years old, he already knows the dream he wants, that is to have his own opera house. Fast forward...
He did it. 
He's able to fulfill His dream of having one. 





But of course, life isn't a bed of roses. There will always be a point in your life that you will hit the rock bottom. Just like what happened to Mr. Moon. 

And here's another quotable quote from Mr. Moon:





And what I like most about Mr. Moon is that after all had happened in his life, with the help of the people who's trusting him, he got up and continue to pursue his current dream (to retain the opera house) even if it is not what he wanted, not what he planned.

Here are some takeaways from the movie:

1. Don't just dream, but dream big dreams!


2. Don't just dream, but work on your dreams!


3. There may be struggles, but we must not stop working on our dreams, we must not lose hope.


But of course, not all traits of Mr. Moon are commendable. But we can still learn from it!

In terms of the right values (though it was not part of the movie).. here are some realizations that I got:

4. If we commit mistakes, we must find ways to make it right. 
Bigger problems may occur if we try to solve it on our own. 
In moments like this, we must make good or right choices. 
How? 
By asking God. 
By seeking His help. 
Through Prayer.

(Sa tagalog: Hindi maitatama ng isa pang pagkakamali ang mali.)


5. Face your problems. 


Remember ❣
God is bigger than your problems. 
Earth is just His footstool! (See: Isaiah 66:1)


6. Yes, we can always dream big dreams, but we should entrust it to God. 
Pray for it. 
Then trust God for the answer. 
Surely, if it's according to His will, it will happen. 


Such a sweet God!


Jeremiah 29:11 assures us that God is planning our bright future. He plans to prosper us. He will find ways to protect us. He will never harm us. And in times of doubt, He will give us hope. 
For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

When to say these words?

How often do you say thank you? What are the things or happenings in your life that you say thank you in return? To whom do you utter these precious words? Thank you seems an easy thing to say. We hear it from time to time and wherever we go (grocery, bookstore, office, school, etc.) people say this. It's actually a common phrase. Thank you for coming, for calling, for listening, for joining, for taking care of, for choosing, and many more. There are lots of reasons to say thank you. Even with kiddie videos, there are songs, teaching the kids to say thank you. "Thank you is what you say when someone does something nice for you today." - Eli Kids   "When you get something you want, what's the magic word? Hmmmm. Thank you, thank you, thank you." - Coco Melon (If you are a mom or certified Tita/Tito's of Manila, for sure you sing these songs while reading! Haha!) Actually, the reason why I am sharing this topic is because of the K-drama I  have ...

Are you weak?

Yes, there will always be a point in your life that you will feel weak and sometimes this weakness may lead to hopelessness. Being weak is not just in terms of our physical strength but also on what we are feeling inside (emotions, spiritual, relationships). Weakness occurs whenever any of problem, suffering, disease, worry, anxiety, fear and sorrow is encountered. Most people always find “weakness” as a negative word. Well, definitely it is. But having God in your life, believing that everything that is happening in your life has a purpose and that He is in control, you can confidently say that Weakness can be a Blessing too! During my younger days, I often hear my church-mates (Testimony time in our Youth fellowship) giving thanks to God, not just for all the blessings, provisions they are receiving but as well as to all the trials & sufferings they are encountering. I keep telling myself, "How come? How can they thank God, even in time of trials?” But as time goes by, G...

What is Missing?

Prayer is an essential thing to people who believes in Jesus. It is our 24/7 connection with the Lord. Many refer prayer as our lifeline to heaven. We pray because we want to talk to God. During our childhood days, we often pray to ask God for something. For teens/youth, it's like talking to their best friend, telling God, everything they encountered and even praying for the so-called "the one" šŸ˜‰. We pray to thank God for all the blessings we are receiving. But often times we pray to ask. We pray for our needs. We pray to ask guidance for all the decisions we need to make. We pray for good health and His protection.  Many of us wonder why our longstanding prayers seem "unanswered" that makes us think God is not hearing us. Sometimes there will come a point that we tend to stop praying for it, either you accept that you get a "NO" from God or you gets tired of praying. Questions keep running our head, bothers us, faith is being shaken that we often jum...
