Nicole would absolutely love to see a deer drinking from a river, pond, or any other 
type of water. I dont think I would be able to tell if a deer is thirsty or not, just like I probably cant tell if your thirsty. So are you thirsty?
This morning I was reading Psalms 42 and the first couple of lines really made me think. Think with me here for a minute.
42:1 As a deer pants for flowing streams, so pants my soul for you, O God. 2 My soul thirsts for God,
for the living God.
How thirsty are you for God?
My God is not some block of wood or rock made of stone. My God is the “LIVING GOD”. Are you thirsty for Him?
Jesus says
If anyone thirsts, let him come to me and drink…Out of his heart will flow rivers of living water. John 7:37-38.
Everyone who drinks of this water will be thirsty again, 14 but whoever drinks of the water that I will give him will never be thirsty again. The water that I will give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life. John 4:13.

I went on to “Google” one time and actually searched for pictures of Clear Water or Thirst or something, and it produced a picture of water that was so “Crystal Clear” that if I was dying in the desert and I saw a glass of water like that…it would be so refreshing.
That is the relationship that I crave. A relationship where “All” I crave is the intimacy that only Christ can offer. I’m at that point – that I get to every end-of-the-year time – where I want the new year to be a new adventure…but something is different this year… I want to be REAL! To Thirst after God and not my next paycheck or big event! How do I get there?!? That’s the new adventure!
I serve the Lord at the ” singing in Worship Team and in charge of the Prayer ministry and prayer room. Each week the Lord lays a message on my heart and with that message to place on a dry erase board This week it was the image of a solitary place that included a stream and a deer drinking from it and the verse Psalm 42. I looked on line and found the perfect photo of that image. So it will go on this weeks board.02.03.08 thank you for sharing . The gift goes on and on. and on
In Christ
