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!

P.U.S.H.= Pray Until Something Happens

We are frequently faced with things that are out of our control. Sometimes its hard to deal with this fact, but these are the times that we must keep our faith and pray. I am guilty of praying when times are bad, and even thanking God for awhile when results happen. The problem with that is, my church attendance tends to slack off and prayers tend to go from multiple times a day to before bed at night. The key is to pray everyday, no matter what the situation is. We have to learn to trust, believe, and thank God everyday for his grace. We should think him for things he delivered us from 5 years ago, yesterday, and even things that have yet to occur. Surround yourself around people who are where you are in your christian walk and/or further along . These people become very useful /important when you are going through trials and tribulations in your life. They will be the people you can turn to for anything from relationships to just staying focused and strong. Believe me, thank yourself for making the decision. What are you currently praying for??
