A Big Show-Off


The opening night of Euroventure we enjoyed some amazing worship with 'Good Luck Penny,' a group from Orlando and beyond. At one point the leader asked us to turn and face the windows where we could look on the mountains. Even before we began to sing 'how great is our God,' I was already sensing a need to see the greatness of God in a new and fresh way.

As I looked out over the beauty before me, I noticed that in one area in the center of my field of vision, the snow began to move. And as we continued to sing, the snow movement continued and we witnessed a small avalanche! Incredible! As we sang out to the Creator, He smiled back! He showed off! I was looking for Him, and He confirmed that He was there! I felt the power of the Holy Spirit in that moment.

Earlier in the day, I had read a devotion about physical and spiritual dehydration. This really hit home to me since we are in such high altitude and feeling dried out from the inside out. But it also hit home because I have been so harried to get ready for this trip and finish the grant and prep my classes, I've been dehydrating spiritually.

In the moment as the snow tumbled as I watched, I felt my soul bring quenched. No longer parched ... I sensed myself being drawn once again to the Living Water ... Not only drawn but satisfied!
