A Prince on a White Horse

Watch the clip, I hope it continues to download for a long time to come.

I have been on a Snow White theme lately. When I was growing up this was my favorite movie and I never really knew why this movie, over Cinderella or Sleeping Beauty. I have watched it again here lately and as an adult there is such purity in the old Disney movies that are missing from the new Disney animated movies.

In Snow White you can still see that as a movie industry and/or nation we still thought, and follow Christian beliefs more often than today and biblical thoughts were written into the plot.

I have gotten the chance to speak at a few Women’s retreats and one of the things I talk about is that we are Princesses and there IS a Prince that will ride in on a white horse to rescue us from our captivity.

Here are just a few of the things I have been thinking about from Snow White.

Ecclesiastes 3:11 ” He also has planted eternity in men’s hearts and minds (a divinely implanted sense of purpose working through the ages), which nothing under the sun but God alone can satisfy.”

We recognize that there is MORE to us, and we have a hole in our hearts that is larger than the Grand Canyon, that only God fits into. We continually try to push cars, houses, clothes, people, things into this hole and it doesn’t even make a dent in fulfilling us. We just become ravenous for more and more, because nothing under the sun but God can satisfy our deepest longings.

The longing to be rescued by a Prince on a white horse is a TRUE story that is why movies with this theme touches us so. As women we know there is a Prince for us and we look to mortal men to fulfill us, all the while forgetting that they too need to be rescued from their own captivity. There is a King that has come and will come again for them as well. We are both a part of an epic story about a King coming for His bride.

I hope you read the next passage out-loud, it is so powerful.

Revelation 19:11-16

Now I saw heaven opened, and BEHOLD A WHITE HORSE, AND HE WHO SAT ON HIM WAS CALLED FAITHFUL AND TRUE, AND ON HIS HEAD WERE MANY CROWNS. HE HAD A NAME WRITTEN THAT NO ONE KNEW EXCEPT HIMSELF. HIS NAME IS CALLED THE WORD OF GOD. AND THE ARMIES IN HEAVEN, CLOTHED IN FINE LINEN, WHITE AND CLEAN, FOLLOWED HIM ON WHITE HORSES. ON HIS THIGH A NAME WRITTEN:

KING OF KING AND LORD OF LORDS

 There is a King coming riding in on a white horse with an army on white horses and HE is coming for US!!

We have eternity planted in our hearts, so we won’t forget, so we will continue to long for our Prince. The hard part is to live in this knowledge, feeling this longing and stop putting earthly things in an eternal desire.

WE ARE PRINCESSES AND WE HAVE A PRINCE THAT IS COMING FOR US ON A WHITE HORSE, AND WE WILL LIVE HAPPILY EVER AFTER. Keep your eyes and heart turned toward heaven.

My only hope is in YOU LORD JESUS,

Princess Tanya

    

Our Deepest Fear

November 8, 2008 at 12:09 am | In Uncategorized | 1 Comment
“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
 Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us.
 We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be?
You are a child of God.
Your playing small does not serve the world.
There is nothing enlightened about shrinking
so that other people won’t feel insecure around you.
We are all meant to shine, as children do.
We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us.
It is not just in some of us; it is in everyone.
And as we let our own light shine,
we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.
 As we are liberated from our own fear,
our presence automatically liberates others.”
–Marianne Williamson
May we all be people that shine brightly, live open and large and
liberate those around us. The world is waiting for you and I
to come alive and show them how to as well.
Be Fully Alive,
Tanya

Time Flies

November 1, 2008 at 3:05 am | In Uncategorized | 1 Comment

My time flies when you are having fun… busy…. living…

Time just flies, I keep thinking I will stop to write more often. I just seem to run out of time. What do I do? nothing and a lot. I seem to always be busy, but since I am not a task oriented person I rarely have a product to show for my busyness. I spend a lot of time with people. I am doing what I love to do, listening, sharing life, laughing, crying, encouraging. It takes a lot of time to love.

I have so many things running through my head lately and can’t seem to settle on one thing to write about, so tonight I just had to write about that. There is so much in my head it is causing a writers block, kind of like a clogged drain or a beaver’s dam. I know that as I begin to write the words will start to flow and hopefully break through the block, if not I will continue to ramble until it does. No, I will not continue here I will just prime the pump in my personal journal.

I have a thought!!! I have gotten my Oswald Chambers ” My Utmost for His Highest” out and started reading it again. I am finding some amazing thoughts from this very wise man. I think I will share my favorite ones tomorrow, so keep a look out for the next post, Mr. Chambers has blessed me for several years and I still read things that I have never read before each time I reopen His writtings.

Rambling or NOT– Yes Rambling,

Tanya
