her season

Have you ever had a day like the bird in this video? How about a season? This lovely little cardinal has been thrashing into our living room window for 3 whole months now! In fact, our family can count on him to say his "special hellos" on a daily basis. Sometimes I catch myself uttering: "how's that working for ya?" to my feathered friend. Other times, I think: "God are you trying to tell ME something?"

Some birds are very territorial and from what I've read, cardinals react aggressively when they see a reflection of themselves because they mistake the image for another bird.

How many times in our daily lives do we look in the mirror, mistake what we see and lash out. I'm not good enough. I have nothing to offer. I'm not worthy. I'm not smart enough for that job so why bother applying. Thrash. Thrash. Thrash. Thrash.

If we looked in the mirror and saw ourselves the way God created us to be how would that translate in our lives? If we stopped the lies: "My husband doesn't care how I feel" Thrash. "If only we had a bigger house..." Thrash. If I just lost 10 pounds then I could be..." Thrash.
God promises that if we follow Him, our lives will be on the right path.

Scripture says:
Psalm 32: 8 "I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go: I will guide you with my eye

1 Corinthians 3:16, 17 Don't you know that you yourselves are God's temple and that God's Spirit lives in you?

Romans: 12:2
“Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—His good, pleasing and perfect will.” (NIV)

Fly toward God my friends and watch as you soar...the beautiful creation he intended you to be.
