31 Days {Fly}
{Fly}
I long to fly. Fly and be strong. Courageous. Brave. Free.
Instead, I feel stuck. If the Christian life is like a race, I’m definitely the turtle. Slowly, inching my way to the finish line. Knee-deep in darkness and mud. Glimpses of light show me I’m still on the path, but oh to FLY. To be the bird, and rise above all of the hurt. The guilt. The sin of this life. I long to fly.
Instead, I’m limping along. Barely keeping it together. Lifting one foot in front of the other. Not really moving. Sometimes crawling along. I make mistakes and need forgiveness. I long to be free from this long road, and FLY. To be the eagle that soars above the wasteland, into the clouds. Away from the mess, away from the pain and into the sunlight.
I long to fly. Fly and be strong. Courageous. Brave. Free.
How will I find the strength to fly? His word says…
Wait. Wait upon the Lord. He will renew. Daily. He will give me the strength to lift my head. To stop looking at the path ahead and look up at the clouds.
Wait. Wait upon the Lord. He will rescue. He will save me from the pit I’ve stumbled into. He will lift my head to see that His hand is there. In the darkness, waiting with Light on the other side of the bend.
Wait. Wait with expectancy, ready to fly. With His Strength. With His Courage. He will make me brave enough to Fly, I only need to wait. The Son and Light is coming. Just wait.
Trust. Trust, not only that He will rescue. Trust He is already here…..rescuing. Right now. The flying might not be today, but the Lord is with me whether I fly or walk.

I need to copy this one out to tack next to my bed. I am a turtle too! Slugging along, wanting to be used by God but also wondering how…how could He when I fail time and again? It makes me long for Heaven, yes, but also wanting to offer Him so much more. Trusting Him to rescue me yet again and to renew my spirit today. Thank you for being a part of that encouragement, Sarah.
