Eagles' Wings...

I am…pooped out.

Anybody trackin’ with me here? However…it is a rich, good, joyous…pooped out.

I had the amazing privilege of sharing at a Women’s Camp this past weekend (Thousand Pines Christian Camp). It was thrilling…it was exhilarating…it was crazy fun…to watch the Lord at work. I could have talked about…baking chocolate chip cookies (I didn't…but could have!) and He would have moved…transforming lives…His vast love for so many…going deep…yes…going deep. He didn't need me…He only desired the hungry hearts that every woman had presented to Him there.

“But those who wait on the LORD Shall renew their strength; 
They shall mount up with wings like eagles, 
They shall run and not be weary, 
They shall walk and not faint.”
Isaiah 40:31

I have lived too many years in the other kind of…pooped out…you know…burned out…exhausted, depleted, hope dimmed, weary of life…kind of pooped out. It is not…riding on eagles' wings. And…I don’t want to live that way anymore. And…the promise of soaring with Him is wrapped up in one word… “wait”…

A Mary way of waiting…at His feet…drinking in His presence and His Word. That simple.*

Yes…I am pooped out…but I am flying high…

At the Start of This Week...

At the start of this week…

Should you wake up one morning tired, crabby, cranky…you name it! Fall to your knees asap! He is waiting to restore and refresh you. He has assignments for you that you don’t want to miss. He has a loving word to whisper in your ear that you need to hear! And see…if the His Spirit doesn’t lift you on eagle’s wings!

Should your scale look high, your bank account low, and your relationship with your bff, spouse, kids, co-workers, or school-mates be sagging in the middle somewhere…look to the Lord for HIS wisdom. What you have been doing may not be working. He will give you new direction and vision.

Should need a way…where there seems to be no-way. This is God’s specialty! However, you have to place it firmly in HIS hands and…Keep your hands OFF. See what He does.

This is a week of new beginnings, hopes that will be realized, and miracles to watch for. Keep your eyes open, your heart tender, and your mind from distraction. This week will be awesome in Jesus because Who is in you is greater than anything!
1 John 4:4
