prince caspian
so, i went to the midnight showing of prince caspian, and it was excellent.
if i didnt know who wrote it and what it was about i would be even more amazed to find the spiritual parallels, even in my own life. sadly, i didnt identify so much with the people who kept faith(namely lucy and edmond) as i did with those who doubted and chased temptation.
i almost cried out in public(not cried, tear tear, cried out, yelled) when peter said "i think we've waited for Aslan long enough." how many times have i felt that way, and still do. standing before the white witch(completely different scene) and though fighting to keep others from succombing to what all of that represents, feeling the pull of it myself. i can only pray and hope that i have the strength and wisdom not to give in, but rather to put everything onto God, so that He can carry it all.

man, i cannot WAIT to see that movie!!! but I'm going to be away for two weekends so wouldn't be able to until I come back !
I can relate to what you said in the 2nd paragraph.
In Screwtape Letters (also written by CS Lewis), the devil Screwtape advised his minions thus:-
"It is during such trough periods, much more than during the peak periods, that it is growing into the creature He wants it to be. Hence the prayers offered in the state of dryness are those that please Him best...Do not be deceived, Wormwood. Our cause is never more in danger than when a human, no longer desiring, but still intending, to do our Enemy's will, looks round a universe from which every trace of Him seems to have vanished, and asks why has bas been forsaken, and still obeys."
I really should check that movie out.
