A Journey of Faith

The year 2013 started a little different for the Swallow and her mate.  One of their young ones was testing his wings in Nepal.  Seeing him and his mission exposure team members off at the airport several days ago, the Swallow and her mate were grateful for the opportunity that had been given to their young one.  Yet... What would be ahead for him?

Their other young one began a school year with most things new - school, teachers, friends, uniform and books.  Not one who took well to new things, the Swallow's young one could hardly sleep last night, but their Heavenly Father was loving, and heeded their prayers.  Sleep came swiftly for the young one soon after.  Yet... What would be ahead for her?

Both their young ones are testing their wings.  One a little nearer the nest.  The other going on longer flights.  Soon they will be flying further and further, longer and longer.  Will their young ones continue their flight in the right direction?  What would be ahead for the Swallow and her mate?

They could only voice their fears to their loving Heavenly Father, and keep flying themselves.  It would be a journey of faith for all of them.

Psalm 101 : 6 (NKJV)
My eyes shall be on the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me; he who walks in a perfect way, he shall serve me.

Matthew 25 : 23 (NKJV)
His lord said to him, 'Well done, good and faithful servant; you have been faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord.'

A JOURNEY OF FAITH by jadeswallow

There they go -
What is ahead, they do not know
But hand in hand along the path
They look ahead, with eyes of faith
And as they walk, they know they're loved
By their Heavenly Father up above
So on they go, to journey's end
Then there, before the Throne, they'll stand
To hear the loving voice announce
"Well done, good and faithful one."
