fill her up

 In Texas (where I'm from) you'll hear "fill her up" all the time, referencing filling up the gas tank in your car or truck - all coupled with a Texas twang.

As a child of the Most High, a woman of God, someone after God's own heart, don't you want to live life filled up?

I want to walk in the authority He has given me. I love to encourage those around me to thrive and not just survive. This requires that I be full -- full of the word and sensitive to the Holy Spirit.

As PWs, we have busy schedules. Some of us serve alongside our husbands, others manage women's ministry, children's ministry or praise & worship. Some maintain a personal career, others have little ones and are focused on holding down the home fort.

Whatever your schedule, do you make time to spend with the Father? How many times have we been guilty of giving and pushing ourselves to the limit? It's time to replenish. It's time to fill up. It's time to renew.

Let's take it one step at a time.

If you are tired of reading the bible version you have, get another one.

If you need to engage in a new bible study, go visit the bookstore.

If you need an accountability partner, find one. That's actually what CLUTCH is all about, to help us be there for each other.

How do you fill up? Leave a comment and let us know!

I enjoy relaxing on the couch in the early mornings, while the kids sleep. I read my bible and in pure silence simply reflect on what God is speaking through his Word. I also enjoy engaging in worship, simply praising and worshiping for the audience of One.

Together, this week, let's commit to "filling up"! It's so easy to get discouraged. It's easy to focus on the hurt and pain that congregants and others in ministry have caused. But God is calling us to a higher level!
