SUMMARY: The speaker talks about the importance of building oneself and waiting on the Lord to renew one's strength. They use the metaphor of an eagle's wings to illustrate how one can rise above difficulties and fly towards one's destination. They also discuss the different types of single people in today's society and the challenges they face in finding a partner and building a blended family. Paul's advice on marriage and sexuality in Corinthians is also discussed.

Becoming a we (in a relationship) is not easy, especially in today's world. It involves dealing with ex-spouses, children, and various dynamics. It requires a lot of work and patience. When choosing a partner, it is important to consider more than just their faith, but also their background, likes, and dislikes. True love, or agape love, is not just a feeling but requires patience, forgiveness, and work. Communication and trust are also important factors in building a relationship. It is important to proceed carefully in sharing personal information and to observe a person's actions and dependability.


When looking for a partner, observe their integrity, decision-making skills, and ability to keep confidential information. Build a friendship first and progress slowly to dating and courtship. Proceed with caution and keep dates in a group context. Commitment is a public declaration and should be taken seriously. Remember, it's better to be cautious and take your time than to end up in divorce court. As a Christian woman, find satisfaction in Christ alone and raise the wings of the eagle to soar above life's storms. Create your own worship and praise to feel the presence of God. You are a complete woman in Christ, whether you end up in a relationship or not.


The speaker feels the presence of God when they create their own worship and praise. They encourage the audience to imagine themselves soaring like eagles and becoming the women God wants them to be. They emphasize the strength and completeness that comes from being in Christ.


Part of the prayer song that we sang is one of the words that the Lord has always given me, no matter where I go, what I do, the Lord always speaks that same word into my life: “Those who hope in the Lord will be renewed, they will rise on eagles' wings, they will run and not get tired, they will walk and not faint,” and while we wait to become ourselves, while we build the self, we wait on the Lord, and he will give us new strength.

The eagle is a very beautiful creature and has attributes that no other creature has. If you look at the eagle's wings and it has so much potential that as soon as the eagle opens its wings and begins to fly, it continues until it reaches its destination, and that is what the Lord tells his people: "Those who hope in me will be able to raise the wings, and they will be able to fly and they will not stop until they reach their destination.”
