Intentions

I believe that when God speaks...no, usually whispers...it's very much like living water in the desert.

We're at the start of our monsoon seasons here in Arizona, and during that time thunderstorms spring up out of nowhere; they disappear just as fast; they may rain down vital moisture - but the atmosphere is so dry the rain can't get to the ground...or it might come down in such fast and furious torrents that the rocky ground can't soak it in and it turns into flash floods. When God speaks to me, to any of us really, we may or may not be able to listen. We may be overwhelmed, flooded out...or we may stand with our heads turned skyward and tongues out wishing a few drops would survive the fall to the ground where we stand parched and waiting.

This blog will be an attempt to allow living water...as it flows to me...to flow out again. I hope it will be a voice in our desert experiences of life and faith. If nothing else, it will be a time for me to wait and watch and listen for God's living water and desert voice to speak so that my thirst may once again be quenched.
