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!

NOW . . . YOU ARE READY!
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!
