Favorite Movie Scene - Stolen from my dreams

I just rewatched "Pride and Prejudice", the 2005 version with Keira Knightley and Matthew Macfayden. The scene where Darcy proposes to Elizabeth in the early morning, with him walking through the mists is is one my favorite movie scene. I've had dreams of some man walking through the mists to find me and me, staring at him not quite knowing who was approaching. 

When I first saw this scene, I screamed "they stole that scene from my dream!" I don't think I'm the only woman in the world who hasn't dream of some man walking through the mists towards you. This scene could only have been written by a woman and it turns out the screenplay writer's name is Deborah Moogach.

Here's the scene - Enjoy!

Day 121 Bible Reading - John 2: 10 (ESV)

Joshua 19-20, Joshua 21: 1-10, John 2, Psalm 68: 28-35

John 2: 10 (ESV)

“…“Everyone serves the good wine first, and when people have drunk freely, then the poor wine. But you have kept the good wine until now.”

I love verse 10 from John 2 because it shows the power of God’s miracles. Jesus transformed water into win for the wedding because they had run out. When it was tasted, it was considered “better than the wine than the wine that was made for the wedding. God has the power to turn something ordinary as water into something better tasting than the finest wine. This was Christ’s first miracle. Jesus went on perform greater and greater miracles until the last miracle before his death, which was the raising Lazarus from death. We need to remember this verse when we pray and ask God for miracles. God can do everything from turning an ordinary event into something that will please our senses and bring us happiness, to curing illnesses like blindness, and bring life from death. And of course, God’s best miracle, to save us from our sins with the death of his son Jesus Christ so we can have an eternal life with him.

Day 120 Bible Reading - John 1: 29 (ESV)

Joshua 17-18, John 1: 29-51, Psalm 68: 21-27

John 1: 29 (ESV)

“The next day he saw Jesus coming toward him, and said, “Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!”

Verse 29 from John 1 is what John the Baptist said to Jesus the next day after he baptized Jesus. John proclaimed to Jesus it was his destiny to be a sacrifice for sin. Last year I watched the movie “His only son”, which tells the story Abraham being told by God to sacrifice his son. The symbol of the pure lamb as a sacrifice to take away from sin began to dawn on me. John the Baptist announced to Jesus what his role was, and I don’t think anyone who heard him fully got what he meant. Certainly, the disciples who witnessed John baptizing Jesus didn’t get what John meant, and that John the Baptist was actually predicting that Jesus would need to be sacrificed like a lamb. I think if they did get it, they would have understood when Jesus told them later about his coming death. But they didn’t get it, and I think it’s hard for me even now to fully understand the extent of what Jesus went through for our sins. But Jesus understood it. It was his father’ s will and Jesus was willing to do anything to fulfill God’s plan earth. And if it wasn’t for Jesus’ sacrifice, we would have ti experience the consequences of our sins.

Insights on getting rid of negative beliefs using EFT

 I use EFT (emotional freedom technique) to clear negative beliefs in my life. It really doesn't matter what what system you use. All you need to is find a system that resonates with you and becomes your permission slip to do this kind of work. All systems work and it's all about finding one that you believe in and is an easy process for you. I've been doing it this past week and the following are insights that came to me:

• You need to find the belief that brings tears to your eyes. And I mean, real tears. When a belief makes you cry, you know you have a belief that you have emotions wrapped up in. It's a powerful enough belief where your body has a reaction.
• If you use EFT, and you get the belief down to 1-3 and you find yourself getting scared, this means you are on the core of rooting out this negative belief.
• If you manage to get your belief down to 1 (which might mean on a scale of 1-10, how do you rate the belief. 1 being not true to 10 being very true), you might find yourself freaking out especially if that feeling has been around for a long time. That belief has become over the years a part of your identity.
• You might yourself saying "I don't know who I am." This happens because the negative belief had been part of your identity for so long, that your identity is threatened.
• Don't worry! This is a normal response. Taking away the negative belief creates a vacuum, and you will need to fill it.
• What you will need to say the most positive belief you have about yourself, so this new positive belief fills the vacuum you just created.
• You might need to repeat the positive belief to yourself several times before this feeling of loss and "being threatened goes away.

When you get to the part where you are freaking and don't know who you are, CONGRATULATIONS! You have let go of that belief. An image of a wall crumbling or breaking might come to your mind. The negative belief you just eliminated was a core part of other negative beliefs, and these minor negative beliefs will start to crumble because you've gotten rid of the anchor core belief. 

I hope this helps. Getting rid of negative beliefs that no longer serve you is a great way to open up opportunities in your life.
