get ready to spread your wings

"It may be hard for an egg to turn into a bird:

it would be a jolly sight harder

for it to learn to fly while remaining an egg.

We are like eggs at present.

And you cannot go on indefinitely

being just an ordinary, decent egg.

We must be hatched or go bad."

- C.S. Lewis

"The reason birds can fly and we can't

is simply that they have perfect faith,

for to have faith is to have wings."

- James Matthew Barrie
(Peter Pan)

"In almost everything that touches

our everyday life on earth,

God is pleased when we're pleased.

He wills that we be as free as birds to soar

and sing our maker's praise without anxiety."

- A. W. Tozer

"No one can prepare you for what heights you will soar

until you spread your wings."
