thirsty

Check out this link and read the first page.

My husband is starting a class today and this is one of the books he is reading. In an attempt to be able to have conversation with him on his subjects and also learn myself I opened the book yesterday. Wow. What a great opening. If the rest of the book is as good as the first couple pages- I think I may keep reading. I also simply enjoy the parallel he has between our human bodies and the spiritual. It especially hits home for me since I have been trying desperatly to lose weight and am watching every single thing I put in my mouth. Sometimes I listen to my flesh and say "my body needs that extra bite" when it likely may not. Maybe I am trying to fill a round need with a square peg and don't realize it. What is the deeper issue? I see myself and my non-Christain co-workers struggle with life and try to replace thier need for God with shopping, relationships, independence, and other such fillers. Little do they know they are thirsty for God. We often run ourselves raggedly in circles trying to fill our hunger and we can't see that all we need is some living water. Hmmm- still pondering....

I am going to keep reading...
