Ready Or Not, Here It Comes

Pretty sure I am not ready for this week. But ready or not, here it comes.

I am so very thankful for where God has us. Every time I go to church I am just blessed and filled. As always Bro. Bill gets straight to the point. He draws me in, points me to Christ, then hands over a nugget of truth as I walk out the door. Today was no different. He opens up in Acts 2 and shares about breaking free from powerlessness.

Do you ever feel powerless?

I know I do!
Often!
That should be my first clue that I am quite possibly not seeking HIM!
As Bro. Bill says, "I can live my life either filled with me OR filled with God".

As I am faced with another week of managing, organizing, problem solving, driving, fixing, washing, cleaning, teaching, running, rocking, grading, disciplining, training, I hope I remember that I am NOT powerless!

Will I quench the spirit because of a moment of fatigue?


Will I grieve the spirit because of my rush to stay on 'my agenda?


I have the opportunity to walk in the fullness of Jesus Christ!
I have the opportunity for God to use me to reach others,
specifically my husband and children!
I have the opportunity to show them when life is busy,
crazy,
overwhelming
I can still live filled with God!
How are you living?
