As I peeled it open, looking for nothing in particular, I decided I would take the night off, delve into the bathtub full of nearly scorching water and overwhelming bubbles, and just have some sweet quiet time.
Near the end, when my toes were wrinkled with sogginess and my hair was dripping wet, I decided I couldn't stand the now lukewarm water that continued to engulf me. I challenged myself to stay within it until the last bit of water trickled down the drain and I did. As I watched it slowly disappear I couldn't help but think of how sometimes God allows our entire lives to run dry: various relationships, hopes, current circumstances, false security, stability. How sometimes when our lives seem to be on track and we aren't running passionately toward Him, He shakes it up.
But He doesn't leave it dry, He fills it up with His goodness & I'm holding out to see it overflow again.
