Hungry for what?

Now that the wedding is two weeks away, I’m coming to terms with my summer. I’m learning to let go and roll with what is happening around me. That doesn’t mean I’m doing it well but I’m trying. I bought a new dress a month ago and am thrilled that it’s perfect for the wedding. Color is right and I love the way it looks. One item checked off. Now I’m organizing the food. I know how to make a lot of food for large groups of people. The only difference now is that I don’t have a commercial kitchen. People are volunteering to make food and help that day so we can attend the reception instead of run the kitchen. Cool!

While things are a little chaotic around me, I’ve been reminded that I need to be hungry and thirsty for time with the Lord. Jesus taught this: Blessed are they who hunger and thirst after righteousness! For they shall be filled. Matthew 5:6 So when I find myself hungry and thirsty, I need to remember that I don’t lack food and water. I’m hungry and thirsty because I’ve gotten wrapped up in my life and haven’t made it a point to touch base with God each day. He promises to fill us if we long for Him. I have started to recognize when it’s a spiritual longing that needs to be met. God has been faithful to remind me and meet with me.

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ: Ephesians 1:3
