Well it's been a least a few days since I last posted anything. So much is going on in my life that I haven't been motivated to write much. I was moved by a sermon that my pastor preached on yesterday and I felt that it might encourage someone else to hear a portion of the scripture that the message came from:

"But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength;they shall mount up with wings as EAGLES they shall run, and not be weary;and they shall walk, and not faint"
-Isaiah 40:31


Also, here a corresponding inspirational piece of writing that I found that stems from the above scripture:

Did you know that an eagle knows when a storm is approaching long before it breaks? The eagle will fly to some high spot and wait for the winds to come.
When the storm hits, it sets its wings so that the wind will pick it up and lift it above the storm. While the storm rages, below the eagle is soaring above it. The eagle does not escape the storm, it simply uses the storm to lift it higher. It rises on the winds that bring the storm.
When the storms of life come upon us ... and all of us will experience them ... we can rise above them by setting our minds and our belief toward God.
The storms do not have to overcome us, we can allow God's power to lift us above them. God enables us to ride the winds of the storm that bring sickness, tragedy, failure, and disappointment into our lives. We can soar above the storm.
Remember, it is not the burdens of life that weigh us down, it is how we handle them.

Stay in prayer...for yourself and others. Be Blessed!
