He is Eager... this Eagle

Young and Strong and Eager

There are no valleys he cannot cross


No mountains he cannot soar over . . . and  b. e. y. o. n. d.

In his voice I hear the call 

     
Of Confidence

Of Competence

Of Commitment

            “Give me your toughest challenge, Oh Lord of the Wind - I Am Ready!”


And he is answered. . There is no doubt from whence the answer comes,
There is no doubt the Lord of the
Winds speaks...

                                                        Clearly
                                                        Directly
                                                        Precisely to this Champion of all winged creatures: 

          Your WINGS are not enough . . .You must also remember your ROOTS.

                                                        Light Down
                                                        Be Still and Wait

                                                        For they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength                                                         They shall mount up with wings as Eagles...

                                                        They shall run and not be weary
                                                        They shall walk and not faint

                                                        TEACH ME LORD, teach me Lord to wait.

The Lord of the Winds speaks again, with renewed courage, with renewed faith,
With your feet grounded and rooted...

                                                        NOW . . . YOU ARE READY!

Picture
 NOW You know who you are    

NOW. . .You can see/understand/experience ALL things through Christ who gives you your strength!

SO – Lift your Voice Young Eagle. Scream Again to the Mountains!


Stretch Your Eager Wings into the War Winds and . . .FLY!
                              

Fly High & Lofty!
Fly Young & Mighty!
Fly Bold & Free!


                                                                          
                                                        Fly tender and compassionate.


                 My Son YOU ARE INDEED now ready…AND WE, your parents ARE PROUD!
