I have always been fascinated by wings. If you think about them....it is amazing to think what they can do. They have the ability to move you from places, fly higher and higher to the unknown, experience a feeling of soaring among the clouds and achieve things that people say, are impossible.
I believe that we all have wings, but for them to work...they need movement.
The thing about movement, is that it requires us to take that first step and spread our wings. It is taking that first step of movement that can sometimes paralyze us... just from thinking of it. Whether that be from fears, insecurities, changes in our life or just from the unknown of... "what could be".
What I have learned from this is....our wings were designed to be used. We may stumble and fall, but with determination, we can strengthen them and before long...soar among the clouds. A bird didn't climb out of the nest the first time and fly. They fell to the ground and with determination got up again and again and practiced spreading their wings, until they achieved the flight.
Have faith that whatever you are being called to, in your life...you can overcome it and will fly. You may stumble a few times, but that is what strengthens our wings for flight.
I have listed these in my etsy.
these are wonderful! i think i'm gonna go practice flying!

I am a big fan of wings as well. I love the idea of the fact that they can give us flight, but they can also protect us in their shadow, holding us close and safe.
Beautiful wings!
