If you have a dream go for it. If you are passionate about something reach for it! Don't let the opinions of others cause you to shrink back. If you have a passion to fly then fly! Others might tell you you are not a bird or tell you your wings have yet to develop enough to leave the nest of your comfort but God says you will mount up on wings like eagles and not grow faint. You must be willing to take a solo flight if necessary to become certified to fly with others. It is a perfect opportunity to rest in God to be your everything regardless of the opinions around. You might find that He withholds the support and affirmation of others until you reach a point where you no longer need it to do what he himself has called and equipped you to do. We are not trying to win a popularity contest or attempting first to have the favor of man. We must position ourselves to the breast of the Father and respond to His heart beat, resting in His favor on our lives before we will ever be allowed to experience the favor of man. God wants you to value Him above all else. He will require things of you that puts you at odds with those you esteem for the sole purpose of drawing your affections to Himself. FLY if you dare!
