Hungry...

I have been going to Flood for about 2 months, consistently, and it has been so good. I am reconnecting with old friends, making new friends, feeling like I am part of a community that I really enjoy and believe in, and am continually being challenged and filled up. It has been so good.

Last night, the lesson was about hunger, about hungering for the Lord; the lesson was about being filled. The past few weeks there I have sat in wonder and amazement with the biggest smile on my face. I feel full. I don't feel stuck. I am hungry. I have joy. I sit smiling because it feels great to be in a place to truly feel, especially to feel the things that I am feeling.

A little while ago, a great friend asked me what it is that is making me so full these days. It was a great question to be asked. It was fun to think about and reflect on the things that are making me full. One of those things is a study on Esther that I am doing.

About 3 weeks ago, I decided it was time to go purchase a new Study Bible, since mine is in Texas. While I was in the bookstore, I decided to take a look at the Beth Moore studies that were there. Keep in mind, I have 3 Beth Moore studies in my desk that have been started, but have not been completed. Why did I feel I needed to buy a new one?! GOT ME! But, I am glad I did.

Esther. I don't know crap about Esther. Heck, I have a degree in Biblical Studies and can only tell you where Esther is, but not a thing about her. I will be honest, I bought the study because of the subtitle... "It's tough being a woman." Yes, Beth, it is. :)

This study has awakened a hunger in me. I look forward to my time in this study every day. I love the way Beth journeys through a topic or person with you in her studies. This study is no different. I am loving it.

All this to say, I am hungry, and it feels good.

I hope you are hungry too. :)
