The Eagle and the Ego

On December 3, 2016
We were on our way to Pinedale, delivering a load in the truck and trailer.  Our friend was behind us in his truck, bringing the panels on a flatbed.  Somewhere between I-80 and Kemmerer, a golden eagle flew into our windshield, directly in the middle.  The window was not broken, but the mirror was knocked loose.  Left a little bit of blood and guts.  Our friend said he saw it thrown up the air and it sailed back over his truck.  No way it survived.

        About 10 days later I was given the meaning after specifically asking.  The eagle gave her life as a sacrifice as a learning experience.  The lesson is still sacrifice.  A sacrifice to offer a broken heart and contrite spirit.  In order to complete that, the EGO must be sacrificed.  For both of us.  That is why the eagle landed directly between us. Let go of all opinions of us by others, whether good or bad, (especially the good opinions as they are more difficult to release.)  Release them all.  True sacrifice of ego has not happened until we have been persecuted--called crazy or deceived for believing and declaring the truth.  Declare the Word as directed by the Spirit.  Sacrificing false traditions and temporal idols is easy compared to sacrifice of the ego.
