Eagles soar, and I will as well.
ByToday is Sept. 29, 2010 and I am in Avon, Minn., resting in the home of Pastor Chuck and Lisa Pelkey and family. I was led to their church which was directly off the Lake Wobegon Trail. This is a bike path that extends over a hundred miles, the first part of the path began in Fergus Falls, Minn. and ends in St. Joseph, Minn.. I was blessed by being obedient to the leading of the Holy Spirit, because I passed many churches and continued cycling. For my obedience I was given good rest and fellowship. There is nothing like the the family of God. The name of the church is Avon Community Church.
I was reflecting today on one of the moments I had a few days back. While cycling from Barnesville,Minn.
to Fergus Falls, Minn., I was talkin to the Lord about how he sees things. During that time I observed a large nest in a tree, once I arrived to the area beneath the tree, I looked up and saw two bald eagles in the nest. Immediately I begin to screech like an eagle and one of the pair began to look around, then lifted it self up and out of the nest on the wings and began soaring ; such beauty and majestic motion with wings spread. I cycled off feeling “WOW!”, that made my day.
While cycling that day I kept remembering the scripture in Isaiah 40:31, “But those that 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.”
I will wait on the Lord. What about you?
Hi Lowell,
It seems like yesterday when you joined with us for a pot luck supper in River Valley RV park in Langham SK.
May our Lord and Savior continue to bless your journey.
I was among the group that Lowell addressed Wed. night in Avon. My regret is that our time was so short. Truly filled & led by the Spirit, his presence & testimony impacted all the students & adult staff in attendance. He empowered us with truth, encouraged us to trust God –not ourselves, & assured us that, as heirs of His kingdom, God would NEVER leave or forsake us.
Thank you, Lowell, for praying through your trek on the Wobagon Trail, & being obedient to God to stop at Avon Community Church. We are blessed…I believe the blessings will multiply as our students become empowered to step out for God among their peers.
Is this the same Wobagon Trail from the famed radio series? In any case, I think the trek sounds beautiful! Love Eagles, and you are Right Lowell, ANYTIME I see and eagle I think of Isaiah 40:31. May your rest be deep and restoring. Cycle On Spirit Rider!
