Are you effective?

There have been many times when I have pushed my car to its limits with no gas. When we go on vacation, do we not plan out the route? Don't we fill up the car make sure everything is packed and all the distractions we feel we need to help the ride seem shorter. Imagine that you will be driving across a few states to do your dream. You must get to your destination by next week. You need to decide what things you want with you and who will be there. Think deeply about all the plans and details of making this trip a successful one. Where will you be stopping on the way to get gas and snacks. What will be your dining plans? Will you pack your meals so you will not need to stop as often? Now think about if you found out your dream was across the state. Would you simply jump into your car and start driving? How will you make it to your destination if you don't have enough gas? How will you be able to work your dream if you don't have all the neccasary tools to complete the mission. Now realize that everyday of your life, your are on a mission. How are you doing in your mission. Every moment of every hour is a purpose filled moment. Are you on purpose? Are you re-fueling before or after the light comes on? That is a good way to see if you really are on purpose. Now get to work on your dream and fill up with God.
