I just recently read the book Skyward, and I wanted to share my favorite paragraph in the whole book.
" Folks tend to think Buh Buzzard is a lazy scavenger, good for nothin but trash. They like to point to Buh Eagle as noble and better than other birds. Think a minute about how the world would be without Buh Buzzard. Likewise, Buh Eagle. They both do their own work. They both know their worth. And that's why they both can stretch their wings, catch the wind and rise high up yonder in the elements, flying and giving praise."
It reminds me how everyone is important to God. We all have a special part in this world. If we just realize our worth, trust in God and take the courage to spread our wings, God will help us to catch the wind and rise high. Fly and give God the glory.
Have a Blessed day!

Today is my Birthday. It is a good day to reflect on my life. I am thankful for God allowing me to live 37 years, and I look forward to many more to learn and grow. I am excited to see where God has brought me. I don't always allow myself to believe it, but I really am a much stronger, more confident and joyful person these days.
I have been reading Captivating by John and Stasi Eldredge, and it has been making revisit my past. There is a quote in there that I really liked. "Then the time came when the risk it took to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom. -Anais Nin. That is where my life was about three years ago. I am so glad that God helped me to see that.
I would not be where I am today without my relationship with God. I grow closer to him each day. That is because I have learned the importance of prayer. I use to think of prayer as just a way to ask God for something. That is not what it is all about, He wants us to pray becuase He just wants a relationship with us. We are doing a study at church about prayer and there is a quote in there, from last Wednesday's lesson that I just loved. "Prayer is not casting a fishing line with a hook toward God to catch from Him a blessing, but to cast a line toward God so that He might pull ourselves closer to HIm." -Theodore Cuyler
These are just thoughts on my mind today. I am feeling so blessed and full of joy today. It is easy with this bright beautiful sunshine today. I know it is cold, that is why I am enjoying the sun through the windows of my house.
Have a blessed day!
