Jean's Metaphor
My metaphor is an eagle. In specific a Bible verse "but those who hope in
the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles;
they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint." Isaiah
40:31. An eagle has meaning for me because I strive to become like the eagle
of this passage of scripture. I am a baby eagle at this time. Each day I
attempt to learn and grow so that I can develope into a mature eagle. The
eagle represents for me the way in which I can soar if I maintain my hope
in the Lord to renew my strength. I will then be able to run toward my
professional and educational goals and not grow weary in the travel if I
keep my focus on the Lord. My job as a nurse is my walk of faith and my ministry
to the patients and families I care for and I strive to not grow faint in
this pursuit. The eagle is the symbol of the freedom I have to soar to the
top of the mountain as long as I keep my focus on the Lord for the end result.
