Because this hitting the snooze on the alarm every morning, dragging out of bed, and reaching for coffee as soon as you can stumble your way into the kitchen is not the abundant life that Jesus was talking about in John 10:10.

Let’s face it.

Many of us are worn out.

Some of us have been this way for so long that we think it’s normal.

Some of us are so unacquainted with energy, we wouldn’t recognize it if it walked up to us and introduced itself (Hi, I’m energy nice to meet you).

It would be awesome if energy would just walk up to us and inject itself into us but instead energy is more like:

So how do we keep energy from waving goodbye and leaving us so quickly (because if we are going to start pursuing the life that God wants us to live then having energy should be at the top of the list)?

I’ve discovered 5 ways to increase our energy levels naturally that have nothing to do with downing coffee all day (even though I love me some coffee). 

They don’t even add any calories to our diet (well, one or two might but at least they are healthy calories).
