Satisfying

Life update….I went back to work this fall! My favorite type of nurse job I’ve done is being a postpartum nurse. Praise Jesus that I was able to find a PRN postpartum gig! It’s been a great fit.  So we’re still home schooling and Chase takes the lead on that when I have to work and it’s been a sweet little new rhythm to get into here lately. 

I was at church last week and I had a moment that’s just had me thinking this week. In Revelations 22:6 it says “And he said to me, “It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. To the thirsty I will give from the spring of the water of life without payment.” Jesus talks to the lady at the well in John 4 about giving living water to the thirsty, and anyone who drinks of it will thirst no more. 

Well if there’s one thing I can attest to in life it is that we’re all thirsty. I see it every night at work. The screaming raging second night babe. Her insides have woken up, she’s peeing and pooping, she’s empty and needs filled. She’s hangry. She’s thirsty. 

And while I think we drop some of the outward screaming and raging pandemonium as we all mature I think there is still an inner thirst raging inside. The world offers us all sorts of different pacifiers to try satisfy it but there is only one who can do that. There is no amount you can travel, no politician you can vote for, there are not enough dogs you can rescue, there is not enough sour dough to bake, there is not enough you can save in an account, there is not the perfect number of kids to have nor the ideal zip code to live in, there is only one thing that can satisfy the thirst! 

This time of the year we think about him as a babe laying in a manger. If you don’t know him I’d encourage you to give him a try, He can satisfy and bring peace like nothing in this world can. And if you do know Him, here is your friendly reminder to calm down and bask in his life giving water. 

♥️✨Merry Christmas ✨♥️
