As requested...

Well, as requested. I am writing a blog.
So today was Amanda's b'day!! YAY!!

When I was driving home from the mall, I stopped at the Irving/Golfcourse light and noticed a bunch of birds flying off of a roof. So you may be thinking, "So what, Evie, birds fly off of things all the time...", but I noticed that when one bird flew back to the roof, all of the other birds eventually did so, too. Now, I know all about the fact that birds have a dominant, leader bird, just like most other animals have a dominant leader animal, but this particular instance of birds all flying back reminded me of people. I'll explain:

We have all, at some point in our lives been really gung-ho about something. We are jazzed and excited about progressing our passion and for a while, we really fly. But then, one person makes some comment about something like, how what you are doing is ineffectual or a waste of time, and we slowly drop down in our flight. Then another person adds on to what the last person said and we fall even lower. Eventually, when everyone is falling back down to there stagnant, resting place, it is really hard to maintain that flight of love for something that you think/thought could change something for the better.

So I have given you a bunch of "bird" analogies, but my point is (this applies to me, even more than you could possibly know), that even when all the other people in your life begin to mucky muck the thing that you feel passionately about: pray for strength, be resilient, and keep on trucking for the passion that God has put in you.

Alrighty, so that my promised post. :)

P.S. Funny how God can use a pile of birds to make you think, huh?
