Marveling at the special favor of walking on dry ground on a stormy day, the Lord reminded me of the phrase "In the Eye of the Storm." You see, eagles are unlike other birds who scramble for shelter when rain pours. Eagles rise above the rains, ride the winds, find the eye of the storm, and soar unaffected there. Similarly, an eagle Christian in God's will experiences storms, yet soars above life's turmoil, riding the winds of the Spirit.
Haha, egay's presence was surely felt, but she hardly affected my day.
