I was talking to my friend and colleague Carol about some plans and dreams for the church. Her wise and valuable counsel to me was to make sure that I don't get drained by taking on too much. The challenge, however, is that there is more to be done right now than is "reasonable." So pulling back is not an option.

What I need is to increase what I have to draw upon. I need to be connected to my Source so there is a constant flow. It is impossible to think that I can accomplish what I feel called to accomplish unless I am drawing on God.
