This Is Me

I saw the cast of The Greatest Showman on The Graham Norton Show and I was like, okay, I need to watch this movie. I saw Keala Settle perform this song on The Graham Norton Show and I was like, ah, nice song. But then I just didn't quite feel like watching the movie after that. Until this past week, when it was being advertised on Box Office quite frequently. And this song plays in the promo and it just spoke to me. It gripped me and I had to watch the movie.

So, I finally watched the movie last night. I loved it. Hugh Jackman is simply amazing. Sure, there is a lot of controversy around P. T Barnum but this is a movie, so no need to get all uptight. This is entertainment. And oh how I enjoyed this movie. As I've been saying since I watched it, after watching the movie I actually looked for the "like button" on my laptop to "like" the movie. I liked the movie that much. But more significantly, I think I have just been spending too much time on Facebook of late, so I need to cut back.

The Greatest Showman really just was amazing. It spoke to me. It called out my name and made me weep. And when this song sequence played, This Is Me, I cannot even describe it. Beautiful and touching beyond words.

Motivation

I came across this verse last week sometime. And I just meditated on it and kept returning to it all day, and I found that it helped me through the day. Maybe it was God Himself fighting my battles for me that day. Or maybe it was my faith in Him so doing that helped me see things differently and possibly approach situations differently. I cannot be sure. But, it is certainly a powerful scripture and if you're looking for some motivation, or something to just help you push through, I hope this will help you as it has helped me.
