Stay Connected

After 5 hours of recharging I pick up my phone, relieved that I have finally remembered to charge it. I look at the bars fully expecting that the bars will reflect the length of time I put in. Which is when I noticed... the bars reflected less than what I started with... in fact, the charge was in a depleted zone, threatening to shut down! I then glance at the computer that was also plugged in... no battery life as well.

There must be another problem. I did what I should have, where was the full energy I should gotten by doing my part?

What happens when we insist that we are doing our part, knowing or unknowing, just not plugged completely in? The reality is, that if we just aren't plugged into the power source, we will NOT be recharged! Even worse, we will continue to be drained of all power until we eventually shut down... the power RENEWS our strength.

We have to know that we are doing what is required so that we won't miss the opportunity to stay fully energized. God has given us the tools needed [His Word and the Holy Spirit] to stay fully energized. It is imperative that we do what is necessary to stay connected to our Father. His mercy/grace is new every morning (Lamentations 3: 21-24)... we don't have to work with used resources, we must only plug into what is new EACH day!

It's time to do His Will

Ever try to walk away from something you've started, not because you didn't want to be bothered, but maybe because you told yourself that everything else was more important... only to come back to the very thing you started because you realized you HAVE to finish what has been started. In essence, that "thing" that you started was a project so large that you could not avoid it, you could not ignore it!

It is truly time to do His will! The wheels of motion nearly came to a complete stand still. I believe that is what woke in me, shook me in a literal "wake up" and move that you would give to a sleeping child. There is no time to stand still.


It never ceases to amaze me just how much God covers us, even during our moments of standing still (for me that is my great storms). He really loves us with an agape' love. It is unconditional, baffling me every time I think about how much I have not done what I set out to do, failed to miss a mark, or just gave up on a task; and yet He still loves me. Watches over me and shows me just how much He cares.


In what way have you recognized just how much He loves you? I am certain that is what drives me to do His will for my life. I know how much He watches over me, I want to ensure that I am doing what I can to be a part of His plans for me. The rewards are phenomenal, and I am always left feeling a deep sense of gratitude and peace.

Be encouraged, your best is yet to come! Much love, Q
