Where Are My Wings?

Where Are My Wings?

Yesterday afternoon, Stac and I were peacefully each engrossed in a new book…As we poured over our fiction in the living room, suddenly: “BA-BOOM!!!” came as an impound shook the ceiling above. We both looked at each other calmly, and I said, “Well. Somebody just tried to fly.”(We returned to our reading.) You know those great memories you try to block out. I tried multiple times to fly-leaping from high objects and spreading my ‘wings.’ Stac, do you remember the incident with the laundry basket? Yeahh…..Um….thats another epic fail which we’ll save for another time.

Sometimes, even as the “brightest crayons in the box” that we believe ourselves to be as teens-we have ‘epic fails’ too. Now, if I had been the ideal child, I would have asked if it would work. But most of the time, kids don’t ask if things will work before they attempt. And then there’s a problem-whether bruised knees are involved, or, as we get older, broken dreams and aching hearts.

Most of the times we get ourselves into a dilemma, its because of our will and pride. Next time your parents say ‘no’….don’t get bent out of shape. There are somethings in this life that we don’t see from our perspectives, and only a fall would be involved. And usually shakes more then the ceiling. Maybe we need to look for more than a landing spot. Maybe we need to look for Someone who can get us there….There’s some deep insight.

Blessings,
