"I understand that a turkey and an eagle react differently to the threat of a storm. A turkey reacts by running under the barn, hoping the storm won't come near. On the other hand, an eagle leaves the security of its nest and spreads its wings to ride the air currents of the approaching storm, knowing they will carry it higher in the sky than it could soar on its own. Based on your reaction to the storms of life, which are you? A turkey or an eagle?"
- Anne Graham Lotz The Joy of My Heart
This from one of my readings this morning.
Wow.
I no longer hide. Most of the time. I want to hide, but I don't. Most of the time.
This gave me new perspective and hope. I've left the security of my nest more than once.
Brave they tell me.
Brave or foolish I'm thinking.
This time though I'm leaning into the storm, spreading my wings, carried higher and higher by the One who made me.
I. WILL. SOAR.
Faith. The substance of things hoped for. The evidence of things not seen.
