Soar like eagles!


July 8th

I had just finished typing July 3rd entry when Joel Osteen’s voice came across the television.  Not sure if my husband had turned to it or not but I was sort of, kind of paying attention from the kitchen.  I have never really given Joel a chance.  So I wasn’t extra excited about seeing it.  If you look back, the entry talked about being denied travel to TX to see the specialist.  Well, the message was about a second wind.  He gave an example of a woman he knew that had just received treatment from MD Anderson. (no joke, look it up)  She had just completed 6 months of treatment and was notified that she would need 6 more months.  He explained how she was getting weary and didn’t know if she had more fight in her.  But he then explained that we are human.  We get weary but it’s what we do from there.  God wants us to turn to him for our second wind.  When you think the pain is too much and you’re not sure if you can go on turn to God.  It’s like a woman having a baby; the pain can get unbearable but guess what the reward is right around the corner.  In Isaiah 40:31, it states but those who wait on 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.  Your greatest test comes when you’re weary so take me to the roof, dig a hole, and lower me down.
