I have been under the weather for over a week but we are still going LIVE tomorrow. I hope you enjoyed the newest version of the little mermaid and have learned something new about yourselves.

Often, we start but we don't trust the process. Let this encourage you to keep pushing

Have you practiced gratitude? Ariel’s Story: Ariel longed for more than what she saw under the sea. Her desire wasn’t just rebellion—it reflected a deep discontentment with staying in a world that didn’t match the fullness of who she felt called to be. 1. Contentment is being at peace with where you are, while still moving with vision and purpose. It’s trusting God’s timing and provision, even as you prepare for more. 2. Complacency is settling for less than you’re meant for, staying stuck because it feels safe, or silencing the voice inside that says, “there’s more.” The Tension in the Movie: Ariel wasn’t complacent. She didn’t just accept her world “as is.” She pushed for more—but at times she lacked discernment in how to pursue it (which opened the door to Ursula’s schemes). King Triton, on the other hand, risked slipping into complacency cloaked as protection. His fear of losing Ariel made him resist change, even when God was calling Ariel to a new chapter. Spiritual Truth: God calls us to be content but never complacent. Paul says in Philippians 4:11–13 that he learned the secret of contentment in all circumstances—but that contentment never stopped him from pursuing his calling. Contentment = Peaceful trust in God’s plan. Complacency = Fear-based settling that keeps you stuck.

“I’ve got twenty... but who cares? No big deal. I want more.” - ARIEL Surface Meaning: Ariel is talking about her collection of human objects (likely forks, combs, etc.) — she's collected 20 of them, which might seem like a lot, but to her, they’re not enough. She wants something deeper: life on land. She desires to be something more. Spiritually Reflective Interpretation: The Absence of Gratitude: This lyric shows no recognition of what she already has. She’s surrounded by abundance, not just in objects, but in love, family, beauty, and a thriving community under the sea. But her desire overshadows her gratitude. This can lead us to ask ourselves: How often do we disregard our blessings because they don’t match our expectations or ego-driven desires? - Do we chase more because we lack appreciation for what is? - Are we letting divine timing unfold, or are we trying to control the narrative out of discontent? - Where in my life do I say, ‘I have enough, but it’s no big deal — I want more’? - What would shift if I acknowledged the miracle of what I already have? - Can I discern the voice of my soul from the voice of my ego when I say ‘I want more’?
