Description

🌟 Hey Villagers! Today's reflection blends some Kung Fu Panda wisdom 🐼 with John 11. Random I know epiphany cannot always be predicted. However, I try to them down when given. God is marvelous and always makes it a mission to talk with us. So it is our mission to write it down.

Habakkuk 2:2

2 And the Lord answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it.

Here's what we explored:

When fear takes over, it can lead to unwise decisions that worsen situations—just like when Master Shifu’s fear allowed Tai Lung the enemy to rise. This teaches us to stay grounded in trust rather than panic.

🔑 Key Takeaways:

• Parenting Wisdom: Don’t push your unfulfilled dreams onto your kids; it could become their burden. Let them dream their dreams, not live out yours.

• Believe in Yourself: Like the Dragon Scroll and the secret recipe, true strength and purpose come from within.

• Fear vs. Faith: John 11:37-48 reminds us to trust in God, not fear outcomes. Acting out of fear creates chaos, but faith inspires peace.

💡 Personal Reflection: Watching Kung Fu Panda got me thinking about how I HELP raise my sister. Am I letting her be a kid, or am I pushing her too hard before she’s even run her race? Sometimes we must step back, love, and trust the process without letting fear dictate our actions.

As we face our challenges let’s lean into faith. Thanks for tuning in! 💬

John 11:37-45 (New Living Translation)

37 “This man healed a blind man. Couldn’t he have kept Lazarus from dying?”

-39 “Roll the stone aside,” Jesus told them. But Martha, the dead man’s sister, protested, “Lord, he has been dead for four days. The smell will be terrible.”

40 Jesus responded, “Didn’t I tell you that you would see God’s glory if you believe?” 41 So they rolled the stone aside. Then Jesus looked up to heaven and said, “Father, thank you for hearing me. 42 You always hear me, but I said it out loud for the sake of all these people standing here, so that they will believe you sent me.” 43 Then Jesus shouted, “Lazarus, come out!” 44 And the dead man came out, his hands and feet bound in graveclothes, his face wrapped in a headcloth. Jesus told them, “Unwrap him and let him go!”

The Plot to Kill Jesus

45 Many of the people who were with Mary believed in Jesus when they saw this happen.

-  48 If we let him go on like this, everyone will believe in him, and then the Romans will come and take away both our temple and our nation.”

Original Draft:

1/22/22 Kung Fu Panda + John 11

• Don’t make decisions in Fear

• Preparing for his escape (overkill) in their fear they released the enemy from the feather from the messenger to escape

• Be careful of the decisions you make when in fear that the situation worsen when you do

• “Evil” really was a letdown from upbringing 

• Parent 101 don’t push your dreams onto kids they will become a  nightmare for it runs mindset 

• Considered a villain because he was raised to believe he was the greatest to be disappointed and thrown away

^ whole movie is about not fulfilling ur dreams not everybody else’s 

• Po showed + told how painful it was to live up to his Pa’s dream 

• Po had a choice unlike Tai Lung who trained by saying

    “After how many bones I cracked you still trained me”

Sometimes we forget how much it pains others to live up to expectations and push them even when theyre in pain

• Dragon scroll + secret recipe: both encourage and say to believe in yourself, for that is where the power dwells (In you)

• Ur situation shouldn’t  allow you to act however 

• Master Shifu trained Tai Lung so much he believed and fed into a fantasy instead of reality 

• I relate with my sis because I’m trying to train her before the race even starts not allowing her to be a kid

John 11:48  fear Romans instead of God relates to Kung fu master stop showing love and affection fear of the outcome from previous
