Find Your Wings

So I heard this song on my way home and I couldn’t help but think how thankful I am for the parents I have. I couldn't have asked for better parents. They truly are amazing and I thank God for them. They would probably tell you that you grew up so quickly and as this song says, "It's only for a moment you are mine to hold. The plans that heaven has for you. Will all too soon unfold." This song sounds so much like my mom when it says, "I pray that God would fill your heart with dreams
And that faith gives you the courage
To dare to do great things
I'm here for you whatever this life brings
So let my love give you roots
And help you find your wing"

My mom has always been there for us through everything. She has encouraged each one of us and taken up for us countless of times. Yes she knows that we're not perfect but she pushes us to be the best that we can be. She lets us know that she is here for us no matter what. I know that I would not be where I am today without my mom and her encouragement and pushing me out of my comfort zone and constantly cheering me on in all that I do. I always worried about disappointing my parents because they raised us to grow up and reach for our dreams and do what our passion is and I believe that I am where I am today because of my mom and dad always there beside me encouraging me to take the next step.

After all this with my mom, I realized how much our family relies on her and need her in our life and I thank God constantly for helping her pull through this and continue to pray for healing on her health. I overheard my dad say, "You can't leave us. We need you!" and it hurt hearing him say that because the truth is we rely on our parents more than we think and honestly going through all this with my family has brought us so much closer as a family as well to God. Praying as a family, hearing my dad cry for the first time, and just getting together with my whole family was probably the best thing that has happened to me in a long time (not that the surgery was something I ever wanted or would ever wanna deal with again) but the truth is God has a plan for everything. And I believe that he had a reason for this all happening to our family and I know he will continue to give us insight on why this is happening to us. I love my family to death but in the business of life I have realized how much I take them for granted so much...It is so important to spend time with family. None of us are guaranteed tomorrow and we need to really think about that. This week has brought me back to one of Richie's sermons on 30 days to live...if you only had 30 days to live, what would you do? Would you change how you’re living now? Would you spend more time with family and friends? Would work and school and the hectic of life not seem so important? The truth is we need to spend every day as if it’s our last. Don't take your life for granted.


If you havent heard the song below, you need to listen to it...it is prolly one of the most meaningful songs that I have heard lately...it really got me thinking...We all need to reach for our wings and the plans God has our lives. Our lives are too short to worry about the small things and to take things for granted. Reach for your dreams, remember who are important in your life, and strive to be the best you can be for the Lord and not for yourself!

Find Your Wings
It's only for a moment you are mine to hold
The plans that heaven has for you
Will all too soon unfold
So many different prayers I'll pray
For all that you might do
But most of all I'll want to know
You're walking in the truth
And if I never told you
I want you to know
As I watch you grow

I pray that God would fill your heart with dreams
And that faith gives you the courage
To dare to do great things
I'm here for you whatever this life brings
So let my love give you roots
And help you find your wings

May passion be the wind
That leads you through your days
And may conviction keep you strong
[ Mark Harris Lyrics are found on www.songlyrics.com ]
Guide you on your way
May there be many moments
That make your life so sweet
Oh, but more than memories

I pray that God will fill your heart with dreams
And that faith gives you the courage
To dare to do great things
I'm here for you whatever this life brings
So let my love give you roots
And help you find your wings

It's not living if you don't reach for the sky
I'll have tears as you take off
But I'll cheer as you fly

I pray that God would fill your heart with dreams
And that faith gives you the courage
To dare to do great things
I'm here for you whatever this life brings
So let my love give you roots
And help you find your wings
