How do you
Soar like an eagle?

No seriously, have you ever given it a serious thought/

There is a Christian song, where we could rise and soar on eagle's wings, the lyrics based on a verse in Isaiah.

So I was watching National Geographic Channel where scientist were researching on how eagles fly.

It is generally accepted that eagles fly most elegantly, one never really sees an eagle fluttering through.

Rather, they glide, and when they glide in a rising air current, it's known as... soaring..

So when we are assured that in Him, we could rise and soar on eagle's wings, it's because of a warm air current lifting us to great heights...

& we don't even have to break out a sweat.

Imagine that!

We have had
quite a few mishaps:

Runaways & relapses,
Drowners & burners.

We strive on to
assist those who want to be helped
encourage those who need a little nudge

Frustrated with some little progress
Brimmed with pride for those who moved forward...

So it is most heartbreaking
to hear one of the fighters,
strugglers,
who had been doing well
working so hard
to eek out a living
died whilst he was working...

I don't know him well,
only that he managed to keep
his job for the last 4 years,
and the supervisors said
he was a great conscientious worker

In a warped way,
it was good you left
the way you did...
no senility
breaking down of an aging body...
but go
when the going was still good

your recovery was admirable
there was barely any
rants and raves
like others in similar shoe

Dear sir
you earned the stars
there are no more
taunts, struggles
highs, lows...
now rest, in peace, finally.

You will be missed.

My Prayer for 2012
Oh, that You would
Bless me
Indeed,
And
ENLARGE my territory
that Your Hand
would be
with me, and that
You
would keep me
from evil
that
I may not
cause pain.
(1 Chronicles 4, v 9 - 10)

Six Needs in 2012
The following is an excerpt from
Day Spring Devotions
I don't follow it enough
But what I quoted below
is, as always, just as relevant
for me, as I ponder
What is in store in 2012.

What you do need to know about the future is
not what is ahead of you, but
Who is ahead of you.
It is the Lord who goes before you,
is ahead of you,
and is preparing the way for you.

Your future is in His sure, strong, caring hands.

As you pass through the door of 2011
and enter the door of 2012,
here are six of the needs you are certain to have...

1. There will be the need for prayer
2. There will be the need to trust
3. There will be the need to obey
4. There will be the need to forgive
5. There will be the need to be faithful
6. There will be the need for Jesus.

(Courtesy from Roy Lessin)

I know it sounds like...
'duuuuhhhh'.. but to me,
it's an important reminder
and not reflective of a NEEDY person..

We said
Goodbye to 2011 and
Ushered in 2012 last night.

Perhaps it's age...
But I didn't have as much
Enthusiasm as hoped...

Looking back to last year,
there was much anticipation.
I was literally embracing
the arrival of 2011.

Yet, now that 2011
has been and gone,
and one is looking at 2012
I can't say I was in
much of an anticipatory mood.

Don't get me wrong
I love my work more and more
by the day and
really look forward to
going to work.

My girls are doing great
in their respective areas
furthering their studies
living their lives well.

So why do I have
an unrest in me?
Not foreboding
but there seems to be a
Struggle
for contentment.

There is nothing to be concerned about
For what the Lord has started
He will have equipped
and provided
So press on in faith
Walk in the Path He has
carved out for you

Go, for the Lord goes with you
He will never leave you
Nor forsake you
Even until the ends of the earth (Matthew28v20)
