Empty and in need of a fill-up.

It is Saturday morning and Justin is still asleep from his late night at the recording studio. I am walking around the house cleaning things up when I get a craving for some apple juice, so naturally i walk over to the refrigerator... when I look inside I didn't just glance for juice and then shut the door, I gave it a good look over and realized... 

hummmm. I have no food in here... I then I decided to check the freezer...

And it was even worse!

 (now i know my mothers are ashamed of these photos) =) Sorry!

It made me think though... When was the last time i went grocery shopping... honestly I can't remember the last time. I guess I have just been to busy... too busy to eat?

Then I think to myself....

How long has it been since you were alone with God, allowing him to renew your mind and your soul? Allowing him to fill you up with all the strength and faith that you need. Have I been too busy to notice that my faith shelves were getting empty as time goes along... 

This life is hard. We are busy and if you are anything like me... I get worn out sometimes... I start to feel empty. But it isn't until you stop everything and listen to that still small voice of God that says, "Rest in me, find strength in me" that you can be renewed and ready for 

another day. 

This is my challenge to you and me. Every-night before you go to bed check your heart and spend some moments alone with God. Allow Him to fill you up, don't allow yourself to go on and on and not realize You are Empty.

Fill Us Lord. 

Before I go to sleep pray under the stars
Search my soul and check my heart
And thank God for
Another day
Another chance to love the ones I love
To find my way
To laugh, to dance
Watch the sun come up
Another day I get to live
As if
Every breath could be the last I take
I get another day.
