Living in the desert definitely has it's drawbacks. Everyone keeps telling us that if we don't drink enough water we will get dehydrated. Headaches, lethargy, and fainting are common signs of dehydration. I'm not a huge water drinker so this is bad news for me.
I was lying in bed the other day with a slamming headache (yeah, yeah, I know!). Vince was working next to me (do your husband's work in their beds too? It's so weird!) listening to iTunes on his computer. A popular Christian song came on that I've heard a million times before by Tenth Avenue North called "Love is Here." I was half listening when I heard these lyrics:
Come to the water
You who thirst
And you'll thirst no more
Here's the progression of thoughts that I had:
I'm spiritually thirsty.
You're thirsty because you're not drinking enough water.
I'm not doing the things I know I need to do to get filled up.
You're not drinking the water that's available to you.
You're having spiritual side-effects from dehydration.
God, forgive me for not drinking your water.
Forgive me for looking to other things to fill me up and quench my thirst.
Please change me!
I wonder if you can relate.
