following the leader

i used to have baby ducks. three to be exact. they had names and they were precious, they would follow me around as i walked barefoot through the yard. they would get distracted and then trip over themselves, hurrying to catch up with me. so often,

i feel like a baby duck.


and don't we all? we're following each other around trying to stay in line and when we fall or get behind we trip over ourselves trying to catch up. have you ever wondered how ducks learn how to swim? they don't. they are hatched already knowing. Philipians 4:19 comes to mind, "And my God will supply all your needs according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus." Amen. what if God already gave it to you? "it" being whatever you need to get across the lake.


today i'm telling myself to allow my heart to fly, not weighed down by all of that. school, work, drama with men, with plans, with the future. just let your heart...

 fly.



...and try this if you can:)
