The male eagle takes interest in the female eagle when he is around three years old. A game of tag between the male and female eagle begins. This could last for days. The eagle tests, before it trusts. The female eagle takes a stick up in the air, approximately 8 to 10 thousand feet high in a three dimensional figure eight pattern and drops the stick from this height, and the male eagle has to catch the stick before it touches the ground. The male eagle has to then return the stick back to the female eagle. The female eagle, each time, flies a little lower and faster with a larger stick. The game climaxes when the female eagle is less than 500 ft. from the ground and she drops the stick. At this point, the male eagle has to catch the stick before it touches the ground. If not, the female eagle will chase the male eagle off. If the male eagle catches the stick, the female eagle is satisfied that he will be able to catch the falling eaglets, while teaching them to fly, thus assuring her that he will make a fit husband, which shows commitment. Only then, will she allow him to mate with her! Whether in private life or in business, one should test the commitment of people intended for partnership.
After reading this explanation, many things came to mind. But I will address one thing; Settling.
Can your potential mate carry his weight?
Often females in this society settle, never testing the strength of the commitment of the relationship. Only to find out when its time for the male to catch the "stick" he drops it. If he couldn't attempt to succeed in the easiest of the test why would be able to in the midst of the most difficult of them? Could it be that this male just isn't ready? Possibly, but thats not for you to wonder. As females, that should be a clear indicator to refuse what we think is good and wait for God's best. Eagles have a strong vision that is 4 times sharper than a human. A man should be able to know his vision for his family and be able to carry it out.
And the Bible says, "But 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; and they shall walk, and not faint" (Isaiah 40:31).
“I've always believed the greater danger is not aiming too high, but too low, settling for a bogey rather than shooting for an eagle” (Peter Scout) In retrospect, "Don't quack like a duck, soar like an eagle." (Ken Blanchard)

Sold Out.....
Just thoughts while on the train and people stare at each other.
Life can be nothing but ordinary when there are strangers staring you in face destined for destruction because they aren't familiar with the Savior who saved all men.... With unmerited favor... grace. Their souls crying out for you to speak to them, save them and lead them to eternal life. Yes, their souls cry out give us life. Give us free!!!!! Give us FREE!!!!! Freedom of condemnation. Let not your heart be trouble poor soul. I tell the soul back, let me offer you salvation...everlasting life. God has forgiven us at a cost of no price. And I know your wondering how does all this work? How can somebody just forgiven me when I can't get right? God gave his only Son to lay down your life. Soul wont you take the first step to having eternal life.

#iprefer
The trend setting topic on twitter is #iprefer so I decided to share with you what I prefer
#iprefer us to wait on God than for us to wait on ourselves. We are His servants
#iprefer bed in breakfast on an remote island listening to the ocean & letting the sun be our time
#iprefer long walks on the beach with the moonlight glowing and the ocean unknowing when it will kiss my feet
#iprefer for you to love me right here & than to be half way around the world trying to prove that to me.
#iprefer to do the ordinary life with you, yes the American dream
#iprefer honesty you know the thing that forces you to tell the truth even when it hurts me
#iprefer us to wake up one morning call in sick, go to the airport & pick a destination
#iprefer to deny myself daily than to think that I could ever compare to my King!!!!!!!

Fall ln.....
So I'm listening to one of my favorite artist and I decided to do a piece based song "Fall In" by Esperanza Spalding.
(For those of you who aren't jazz lovers like myself take a listen before you read my after thought.) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EuKSM5XvFfU
Don't worry if we fall in love we will never touch the ground. We won't touch the ground because God is lifting us up higher to Him that we can't be found. Were floating like the Macy's day parade front & center. Glowing because you got me glitter, dazzling, as were waving to the crowd.
Were flying, like an angel in disguise and if this is a dream I don't wanna up wake to a non floating reality. This must be a fairly tale because you love me flaws and all, everyday the love deeper like antidote to keep me alive.
As we Waltz through the night still never touching the ground. The moment is perfect as we glance in each others eyes. A smile from my heart, bringing laughter to my eyes. You run your fingers through my hair we continue to drift across the room as we gaze into each others eyes. The grand piano plays softy in the background. The tune is my heartbeat you got me syncopated to the rhythm of every beat.
Dont worry if we fall in love, we will never touch the ground.

The One Who Saves.......
Christianity is not a feel good doctrine
You don't just come to Christ and think that every problem you had before Christ will go away Christianity is built on the God sacrificing is Son so that we may live in eternity for better days in the heaven moons, suns, moonlight.
Perseverance is a must to fight through it all with Gods trust
Those problems, situations that you once had, with God's adoration you'll defeat any complication just put your faith in Him
Just repent of your sin by believing in Him
As Christians we should be compelled to do our part
Deny ourselves daily when we follow the King everlasting arms
Please don't ask God to take your problems away but ask God to help you get through them and learn what He needs you to learn so that you may learn of His grace
What is Christianity?
Christ loved us first, he died for our sins so that we wouldn't have to endure torment of hell....He loved us first.
Christianity is your own personal relationship with Jesus Christ that is built on reading the Word, praying in faith, fellowshipping with believers, and witnessing to the world.

I'm Ready for You
This was actually written in August 2010
Most people my age want to fall in love if they haven't already. Oh the joys of just being head over heels. Singing love songs, cuddling, touching each other every second they have a chance. Going to the movies, going out to eat, walking in the park, reading to each other or whatever thing you do significant other. By reading the title of this you probably think well I guess this is going to be about me being more than ready to do those things too. My life is actually kind of different. I took the hard road early and had to learn from past mistakes that dating carelessly is not fun at all. For now, I have given the "dating scene" a break and will continue to focus more on God than ever been before. In past relationships I would have this conversations with God, Like you know I love you God but I love my boyfriend and were going to come to church one day. And I know we shouldn't be doing the things we are doing but he said were going to get married as soon as we can afford it." I reasoned and reasoned with God about my lifestyle that wasn't glorifying him I finally surrendered it all to him.
So finally, doing things right and being content in my singleness.

Trip Lee - Self Examination
2 Corinthians 13:5
Test yourselves to make sure you are solid in the faith. Don’t drift along taking everything for granted. Give yourselves regular checkups. You need firsthand evidence, not mere hearsay, that Jesus Christ is in you. Test it out. If you fail the test, do something about it.
