I wanted to share with you how my personal blog name came to be. I had given it much thought and a friend had suggested that if I just waited, it would come to me. Well, I'm not one to wait. My faith has always been strong in the "Know I am God" part of Psalm 46:10, but it's the 'Be still" that I struggle with. So one night while I was lying in bed having a conversation with God and talking about my blog, several thoughts came creeping in. First, I thought of "The Cliff", the one from the photo above,but that wasn't sitting right with me and my mind kept soaring. Thoughts, pictures, words...my mind just wouldn't be still. Then I thought of geese flying in formation. In case you don't know WHY geese fly in a V formation, you can read it here. I thought of my family and this huge adventure that we are about to undertake. I thought of each one of us having to pull for the other, someone always having to take the lead. I really liked the visual. I liked it a lot. Then another thought entered my mind...If God is the head of our life, then He would take the lead; relieving us of the burden. It made me smile. I knew that I had the name for my blog. After that, the others just seemed to fall into place.
Here's a little funny...a friend complimented me on how I managed to work some reference to transportation into each of the individual blog names: WHEEL Life, FLYING in Formation, and ROAD Scholars. I'd love to leave you believing that I am that clever. But I'm not. It was purely coincidence. :)
Lastly, if you have never seen the movie Fly Away Home, I highly recommend it. You won't be disappointed.
