They both see the same thing, them looking up and her looking down; freedom. They know internally that they will be lifted up to fly like eagles, and she knows that it is their strength, courage, and faith that will make it all possible.

She stays put, although sometimes she would like to uproot and move to kinder, more gentle soil, because she knows that this is the only way to truly establish herself and grow. She moves with the wind, knowing that it is not hers to ask why, only to benefit from the blessings of each and every situation. She opens her heart to tears of joy and of sadness, knowing that with each expansion of herself she is inviting others to expand in His mighty heart. |
