Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground apart from the will of your Father. And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. So don't be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows. ~Mathew 10:29-31~

I took this picture last month sometime. Rodney had told me that there was a bird building a nest. So one afternoon we were eating lunch when the bird came to the window. We went to look at it, but I think we startled and scared the bird. I waited days to see if he would return, but he never did. As i took the picture, I just said to myself "God is an awesome God!." It's just crazy how he works and how we can see it in his creations.I honestly thought, we humans make some DUMB choices! We are the only creatures who are given free choice. And many of us don't think that our choices will affect us or our loved ones in the long run. I say this because I have seen myself as well as friends and family make choices without consulting God, that has lead to hurt and pain.
I thought for sure the bird would come back. We only frightened him once. I figured if I stayed away from the window he would return. I sat and pondered, "why wouldn't he return, its his nest he's building, his home" And then God gave me the answer as i stood at the window capturing this image. The bird didnt not return because he felt unsafe. He was building a home but felt that it was no longer on solid ground. Who knows, the bird could have been building so that it could lay eggs. The bird was not afraid to leave. It didnt say"well i know theres something wrong with the place I chose, but let me go back."And it struck me. HOw often do we, women, continue to build our homes in an unsafe place. We see signs, or flags that this is not solid ground, yet we continue to expose ourselves and our children to a potential damaging environment. God is so good. I pray that friends and family members "fly away" from that nest that they've built. We can always find another home. A better and safe location. God will take care of the rest.
