Ready to Pump?!

Hey Fam! A few of you have been on me about blogging. I’ve been writing more poetry these days but I haven’t forgotten about my first love….my beloved blog!!

I have a few experiences that I want to share with you guys. One bad habit I have is letting my car get to E before put gas in it. One morning, I was rushing to church, I got halfway there and I noticed that the gas needle is actually BELOW E! I pulled over to nearest gas station. By this time, my car is on it’s last breath. I paid for the gas and watched as the numbers slowly ticked until they reached $30.  I drove off and I didn’t get too far before I noticed the needle hadn’t moved and my car is on the verge of giving up lol.  I make it back to the gas station and I explain to the attendant that I pumped gas but somehow my car is still on E. He tells me that it takes a while for the needle to move and that I just needed to wait. I asked him to check the pump. After resisting for a while, he checked it. Sure enough, the number are ticking but there is not a drop of gas coming out of the pump! Ok let’s fast forward to this past Sunday! I visited a church for the first time. I went with the intent to just sit and enjoy the service. What I hadn’t planned on is being called up to minister to someone! As I sat and reflected about what happened in service on Sunday, I thought about what would have happened it I hadn’t been prepared/ready to minister when I was called up. The Lord brought me back to the pump that looked like it was doing what it should,  but actually it was ineffective!  As Christians, we are all anointed to minister in one way or another and we must be ready! I pulled in to that gas station because I knew that I couldn’t make it much further! We encounter people everday that are on they’re last leg, that don’t feel like that can go much further, spiritually they are on E. How sad would it be for them to come in contact with us and leave only to find that they are still empty! I encourage you to spend time with God, study His word and SEEK HIS FACE so that when the time comes you’ll be ready to POUR!

love yall for real!
