The journey

Life is a journey but journey’s turn into adventures when you find your compass.

Who is that compass that makes you laugh, love and live?  Living your life to the fullest comes through investing your time into your relationships. Many men and women put careers, friends and even possessions above the people who really matter.  Who is that person you can’t live without?  Who is that person you can’t stop talking to?  Who is that person that you can confide in without worries of judgment?  Who is that person that at three in the morning you can call and they would be ready, willing and able to help you?  True friends never stop being friends.  When answering any of these questions did your spouse come to mind?  If not, why?  Self reflection comes from understanding that your spouse is, and should always be your go-to and all other relationships are extra in your life’s adventure.  

Reflect for a minute the day you got married and looked into their eyes?  What did you feel?  Why did you feel that way?  That feeling of amazement should be how you always look at your spouse. This is the secret of how you date your spouse for life.  Love doesn’t stop because life got in the way.  Love becomes stronger because life couldn’t stop you from taking on and talking the problems out.  Together forever seems like a long time until days turn into months and months to years.  When you finally look back after years of marriage and the kids have left to live life, you will wonder how time got by so fast.

Live, love, laugh everyday because life is too short.

Wasted Potential

A few months back my mom had to go to South America to take care of some things with family. Before she left she called the internet company and told them to suspend the internet because she would be out of the country and she could save about 50 dollars a month. The first month she was away she got an email from Tesla saying there was an error with the solar panels but she dismissed it. Every month for the next 5 months she received the same email.
When she got back she called them and asked what was the issue,  they said without internet or wi-fi all that energy collected from the solar panels was wasted because they couldn’t send it to the grid.

I thought about that as I felt the Holy Spirit wake me one morning saying, "look at the situation and meditate on what happened". So I started looking at the sun and the solar panels, and it came to me that the sun was God the father and God the son. We are the solar panels and the internet or wi-fi was the Holy Spirit. Then it got really deep, for five months the blessings of grace and mercy were poured onto the panels but the panels didn’t pass that on because the Holy Spirit wasn’t there.  In other words, the wi-fi is what was needed  to pass that onto the grid.

I said to myself, "wow that was deep" then I heard the Holy Spirit say "aren’t you sad about this"?  Why I asked? He said because five months of blessings were wasted simply because it was not connected . Two words came to mind, Wasted Potential. You see, if you are not passing on the things the Lord has given you, you are just like a piece of black glass on a roof with no purpose, but when you are connected to the Holy Spirit, you are to go on and fulfill the purpose you were designed for.

What potential are you wasting today by not connecting to The Holy Spirit?
