These chicks are growing up, and getting feisty, especially the smaller one. Also, Friends of Big Bear Valley posted they believe chick number 1 was the one that did not survive the snow storm. They somehow came to that determination by their feet size. Chick number 2 and 3 are showing their pecking order already😆

karaxlewis This was a very special encounter for me.
Nancy, you are a beautiful light! Thank you for sharing you story with the world even when it may be dificult 🙏🏽
Not only so, but we also glory in our
sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not put us to shame, because God's love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us. -Romans 5:3-5

Chick Naming Fundraiser Contest is On!
Hey friends, here is your chance to participate in naming Jackie and Shadow’s two eaglets.
There hasn’t been a naming contest for two years until now. Keep in mind this is a fundraiser.
Here are the options per the website:
Submit; One name =$5
Three names = $10 or
Ten names =$25.
It’s a great cause and helps preserve, educate and maintain the camera and live streaming of our beloved Jackie & Shadow and their family. Details below👇🏼
From Friends of Big Bear Valley (FOBBV) and Big Bear Eagle Nest Cam
Everyone is invited to help name Jackie and Shadow’s two eaglets! The contest to name them is online and waiting for you. Since we provide the livestreams of Jackie and Shadow’s nest cameras always free to the public (and free from advertisements), we have traditionally asked for a small donation along with chick name suggestions. To participate, you can go to our website homepage www.friendsofbigbearvalley.org
or directly to this link: www.friendsofbigbearvalley.org/fobbv-chick-naming-contest-fundraiser.
The contest will be open for one week, so you have until 11:59 pm on Friday, March 28 to enter name suggestions. After entries close, a computer will randomly draw a finalist list of names.
We will deliver ballots with that list to the Big Bear Valley elementary schools for a final vote on April 1. Historically the final name selection has belonged to Big Bear’s 3rd grade students, since they study bald eagles during that school year. But this year the 4th and 5th graders will be invited to vote, as well.
Since Jackie and Shadow did not have chicks the past two seasons, we thought it would be nice for the students who were in 3rd grade those two years to participate in the naming process this time. Jackie and Shadow and their family are very important and special to the local community.
We will announce the new chick names on our official Friends of Big Bear Valley and Big Bear Eagle Nest Cam, www.instagram.com/fobbv.official, www.youtube.com/@FOBBVCAM and website and other social media channels on the evening of April 1st.
We are soliciting names for only the two surviving chicks, since the oldest eaglet, known as Chick 1, passed away during the recent snowstorm. We will be naming that chick ‘Misty,’ in honor of a very dedicated FOBBV volunteer Kathi Misterly who was lost to cancer and is still very missed.
Thank you all for your beautiful dedication to Jackie and Shadow and their family. Best of luck in having your favorite name selected!

Friends of Big Bear Valley
P.S. Keep in mind gender neutral names are preferred since the sex of the eaglets is not known.

Also, I thought it would be fun to have our own naming contest here on Call To Battle, and you don’t have to donate money either!
So let’s think like grade school children and maybe guess what names they would pick. Share as many names you would like in the comments.
And for those of you that have grade school kids, or grandkids, maybe ask them what would they name the two eaglets. 🦅🦅
I’ll keep track of the submissions for our channel.
If you happen to guess the correct names the grade schoolers pick…well you just might win thousands of dollars in cash and prizes….just kidding, but you will get honorable mention.😁
Have fun!

Me: “Lord, what do You want me to know today?”
God: “There will be situations in your life that are difficult to get through because you can’t see what lies ahead. Remember that I am right here beside you, and I will lead you in the direction you need to go, in order that you may fulfill the purpose I’ve planted in your heart, even if you don't know yet what that is.
“Commune with Me. Ask Me to show you what your greatest purpose on this earth is. Listen for My voice. Read My Word and memorize it. Act upon every nudge I give you. Watch your greatest fears become your greatest triumphs. I will guide you and cheer you on, every step of the way. My best plans for you will mesh beautifully with your greatest dreams and desires when you entrust all of this into My care.”
Is. 25:1 (NIV) ~ “Lord, you are my God; I will exalt you and praise your name, for in perfect faithfulness you have done wonderful things, things planned long ago.”

"Call me crazy but I was counting money this morning and came across these two quarters. God said "Hey, do you realize that they're both worth the same even though one is bright and shiny and the other is so dirty you almost can't tell what it is?"
I feel like He wanted me to share this for someone. It doesn't matter if you think you're as dirty as the dumpster in the alley, you're worth just as much to God as the shiny person who looks like they have it all together. " ❤️❤️❤️ ☕

This gentleman is John Burke. He wrote the book Imagine Heaven (which I would love to read someday.)
He was a guest on Shawn Ryan’s podcast on Youtube that I watched…it is four hours long. I listened to the entire podcast while I was working on a sewing project. Worth listening to.

Every once in a while, a ewe will give birth to a lamb and reject it. There are lots of reasons she may do this. If the shepherd tries to return the lamb, the mother might even kick the baby away. Once a ewe rejects one of her lambs, she will never change her mind.
These little lambs will hang their heads so low that it looks like something is wrong with their little necks. Their spirits are broken.
These lambs are called "bummer lambs."
Unless the shepherd intervenes, that little lamb will die ~ rejected and alone.
Do you know what the shepherd usually does?
The shepherd will take that rejected little lamb into their home, hand~feed it and keep it warm. They will wrap it up with blankets and hold it to their chest so the little lamb can hear their heartbeat. Once the lamb is strong enough, the shepherd will place it back in the field with the rest of the flock.
That sheep never forgets the shepherd's love and care when their mother rejected them. When the shepherd calls for the flock, guess which sheep runs first? That sheep knows the shepherd's voice.
The bummer lamb isn't loved more, it just knows intimately the one who loves it. It trusts the shepherd because it has experienced love from the shepherd.
Many of us are bummer lambs. Rejected and broken. But Jesus is the good Shepherd. He cares for our every need and holds us close to His heart so we can hear His heartbeat.
We may be broken but we are deeply loved by the Shepherd who will never leave us.

A mother was concerned about her kindergarten son walking to school. He didn't want his mother to walk with him. She wanted to give him the feeling that he had some independence but yet know that he was safe.
So she had an idea of how to handle it. She asked a neighbor if she would please follow him to school in the mornings, staying at a distance, so he probably wouldn't notice her. She said that since she was up early with her toddler anyway, it would be a good way for them to get some exercise as well, so she agreed.
The next school day, the neighbor and her little girl set out following behind Timmy as he walked to school with another neighbor girl he knew. She did this for the whole week.
As the two kids walked and chatted, kicking stones and twigs, Timmy 's little friend noticed the same lady was following them as she seemed to do every day all week. Finally she said to Timmy, 'Have you noticed that lady following us to school all week... Do you know her'
Timmy nonchalantly replied, 'Yeah, I know who she is.'
The little girl said, 'Well, who is she'
'That's just Shirley Goodnest, 'Timmy replied, 'and her daughter Marcy.'
'Shirley Goodnest...! Who is she and why is she following us..'
'Well,' Timmy explained, 'every night my Mum makes me say the 23rd Psalm with my prayers, 'cuz she worries about me so much. And in the Psalm, it says, ' Shirley Goodnest and Marcy shall follow me all the days of my life', so I guess I'll just have to get used to it.'
May Shirley Goodnest and Marcy be with you today and always.

Many people talk about the Armor of God like it's just a metaphor...
But Paul wasn't using poetic language.
He was describing a real, spiritual defense that
believers must put on every day, and it's deeply rooted in Old Testament prophecy.
Paul's words in Ephesians 6:10-18 aren't random.
Every piece of the Armor of God is strategic.
Not just for protection, but for warfare!
This is about standing firm in a world of deception, lawlessness, and spiritual attacks
Where did Paul get this imagery?
Paul wasn't making this up, he was referencing Isaiah 59:17 where God Himself puts on armor to bring justice and salvation.
"He put on righteousness as a breastplate, and a helmet of salvation on His head..."
Paul took this prophetic vision of God's armor and applied it to believers, showing that we are to wear what God Himself wears in battle!
It's not just about protection it's about spiritual authority!
Let's look at the Greek words behind each piece of armor and how they reveal a powerful meaning...
• Belt of Truth (Aletheia) - Absolute, unshakable truth that holds everything together
• Breastplate of Righteousness (Dikaiosynē) - Judicial approval from God, not self righteousness
• Shoes of Peace (Eirēne) - Firm footed readiness from being in alignment with God
• Shield of Faith (Pistis) - Not just belief, but active trust and allegiance to God
• Helmet of Salvation (Soterios) - Protection over your mind and the assurance of God's deliverance
• Sword of the Spirit (Machaira) - A razor sharp, precise weapon, not a broad sword, but a specific word from God for a specific battle
This isn't passive protection, it's a strategic battle plan.
Each piece isn't just for defense it allows us to advance.
Because the battle is not against flesh and blood...
Paul makes it clear in Ephesians 6:12:
"For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, powers, rulers of darkness, and spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places."
The war is spiritual, and so is the armor!
But here's the thing, the armor only works when it's PUT ON.
You don't just know about truth, you WEAR it.
You don't just believe in salvation, you GUARD your mind with it.
You don't just read Scripture, you WIELD it like a sword!
This armor is not optional...it's vital.
Without it, you will not stand in the days ahead.
Because deception is rising.
Falsehood is replacing truth.
Evil is being called good.
Jesus warned that in the last days, lawlessness would increase, and many would fall away (Matthew 24:12)
What keeps you from being deceived?
The Armor of God.
Truth guards you against deception
Righteousness guards your heart against corruption.
Peace anchors you
when the world is shaking.
Faith shields you from the enemy's lies.
Salvation secures your mind in Christ.
The Word of God becomes your weapon!
But notice something....
Paul never mentions armor for your back.
Why?
Because you were never meant to retreat.
In ancient warfare, soldiers stood together, forming a defense.
A lone soldier was vulnerable but when they stood side by side, their shields created an impenetrable wall.
This is why community matters!
We are meant to stand together!
The enemy's strategy is isolation, he wants you alone, weak, and vulnerable.
But when we stand firm in Christ, we are unshakable.
Paul ends this passage with one final instruction:
PRAY
Prayer is how we activate the armor.
Prayer is how we stay ready for battle.
Prayer is how we align ourselves with God's power, and not our own weak flesh.
The Armor of God is not just a nice idea, it's a command.
You are in a war whether you like it or not.
But the good news?
You have already been given everything you need to stand through your salvation in Christ!
