Being Thirsty

Holy week comes again and I am ironically being forced to fast. Something I rarely do. As it happens, our water tank broke last Maundy Thursday and as the Holy week is something taken very seriously in this country, nobody could be called to fix it up. So with no other choice, 

Which causes me to reflect on how important water was in my life and how long it was until Tuesday (which signals the end of the non working holiday). Water is an essential drink that we must have or we'll die. Other than that, it washes our dishes, our clothes, our hands, our feet, the floor, the roses and other plants. Having our main source of water cut off was definitely a life changing event for us as our dishes piled up and our laundry too.

And as I try to get on with my life... Being late for appointments because I have to go take a bath at a neighbor's house (My aunt :p) I realized another thirst I have. The thirst to be with my friends at GCI and to be able to share with them the struggles I have and the thirst to hear their wisdom and advise.

For the past few days there are some things that are weighing on my mind that I can't really put into words how to express them. But thankfully God just made me listen and used others to talk to me and comfort me unexpectedly. Though I feel a little hanging because I wanted to stay with them more and just couldn't because of the time but I know they'll just be there and I look forward to being involved with activities with them too. :)
