Tangled...In Him!

um....wow...awesome movie.

There are a lot of Christians who don't watch movies b/c they are "worldly". Yes,some can be. I agree. The Word says to guard your heart above all things,for it is the wellspring of Life!

However, The Father speaks to me through movies sometimes,if I'm open . Actually, anything. Even a secular song! (Yes,He's done it!).


I was really touched by this movie and saw a lot of parallels.Couldn't wait to share! *If you've seen the movie,read on , and ignore the out of orderness*

WARNING....MOVIE SPOILERS!!!!!!!

1. She didn't know she was a princess right off.
2.She was held captive by some one who wanted to keep her from that revelation (AND A CROWN!!!!),b/c it would bring her freedom,and b/c of their greed! She did this by deceit.
3. Her hair...her captor told her it was the most important thing,to protect it....how ever, even though it got her out of a few sticky situations,it was a hindrance...freedom didn't come until it was gone.
4.She saw the lanterns (lights)...and only dreamed of being there,in the midst of them. She knew there was more than what she was living. She knew they were the key. HE IS OUR LIGHT AND SALVATION!
5.She had to fight to secure her place. She knew it was worth it. She was realizing the truth!
6. She had a savior...who turned out to be her lover
7.The whole kingdom waited for their lost princess to return home. And rejoiced when she did! (Clouds of Witness,any one?)
8.She had to not be fearful to be herself when saving her and Eugene.
9.The chameleon...like the Holy Spirit....know one knew he was there but her (and eventually Eugene) and he helped her make decisions.

I'm sure there's more...but that's all for now...can't wait to watch it again!

Favorite Kitchen Gadget???

What's your favorite kitchen gadget??Here's my top 5 in no particular order!

 

Electric Food Chopper....Makes everything easier!

Slow Cooker....so easy to be productive! Cooking,with out cooking!

 

My Drainer... It works for canned stuff,as well as tuna....absolutely LOVE this. Got addicted to it in College!

my Coco-Latte....Its simply amazing. You add a powdered mix (coca,cappuccino,cider,etc),flavorings (chocolate syrup,chocolate milk mix,what ever!),liquid (milk is my preferred,but you can do water!),plug it in,press the ON button,and let it go. It heats and mixes it perfectly. Then, when it stops mixing, you just flip the lever to dispense it into your cup! It also keeps it warm for a second helping and it has a "froth" option!

Programmable Coffee Pot not much to say about this one, except how wonderful it is getting up to coffee already made!That is...if you remember to set it the night before!

Recipie Review

Campbell's Creamy Chicken Broccoli Noodles Recipe - Food.com - 257963

• 2 (3 ounce) packages chicken-flavored ramen noodles
• 1 (10 3/4 ounce) can cream of mushroom soup
• 0.5 (10 3/4 ounce) soup can milk
• 1 1/2 cups cooked broccoli
• 1 1/2 cups cubed cooked chicken

Well, I did this "my" way...

I substituted the mushroom soup for 2 cans of cheddar cheese soup, omitted the milk, and used frozen broccoli ,and added onion.

I cooked and drained the ramen, added the soup,broccoli,seasoning packets,chicken and onion. I cooked everything in one pot,stove top.

Turned out great,although with my pans,I had to stay with it ,constantly stirring after I added everything until it was heated through

...next time,I think I'll add black pepper,and possibly garlic powder... and not cut the chicken into such little pieces!
possibly look into shredded cheese instead of cheddar cheese soup...cheaper! I will need to still use the "cream of" soup!


Over all,a great recipe, def a new favorite.
