Some of us have been carrying more than we care to admit—unanswered questions, unspoken hurts, unfinished to-do lists. We try harder, run faster, give more, and still wonder: Why do I feel empty?

    Typically, we stop pouring fluid as the container is filling to the rim. Too often, we tend to ease-up on God's calling on our lives because we sense we are filling up. He wants us to go get a bigger cup, through!

    No, this is not a story about the whole ‘glass half full’, or ‘glass half empty’ debate. In fact, the late George Carlin once observed, “Maybe the glass is just twice as big as it needs to be!“… he then proceeded on a tirade of how we overthink, over-analyze, and certainly over-debate about such ...read more
