More Eagles....


So it has been exactly one week since my prayer to GOD for my confirmation. Being a skeptic at heart, I've been just waiting to hear my phrase again. Because in Christian circles, it is a quite common phrase. I asked for 3 times in 3 days and it was 4 times in less than 48 hours that GOD sent me the confirmation. Since it's been a week, I don't believe it was just a coincidence. It has been a few months since I had heard it before my prayer. Now every time I hear it, I think I will be reminded about how this is GOD's way of reminding me of what I need to do. This is what I came upon today:

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.
