Who loves water? I sure do. A few minutes ago I realized how dry my throat was. I drank a HUGE glass of water just now, and yet my throat is STILL dry.
Do you ever have a thirst that you can't satisfy, or possibly a hunger?
Whether it's literally a hunger or a thirst, or if it's just a metaphorical thing, we all have hungers or thirsts that we can't satisfy.
For me, something I can't satisfy is my greed for God to talk to me. Because all of my church friends at camp said, "Ohhh God talked to me! It was so cool!"
And I'm just standing there like, "Oh, yeah. That's so cool." And I'm secretly thinking in my head, Why can't that happen to me? Why am I the odd one out here?
And sure, I've felt God's presence, but He's never talked to me.
That's really the only thing that I have a never ending thirst for in life, besides the literal things like what happened to me just a few minutes ago.
But even if it seems like your hungers of thirsts won't ever be satisfied, maybe they are not supposed to be, maybe they are. It depends on what it is. But I'm not going to get into that.
But... don't get dehydrated, literally. Haha.

Sometimes Life is Like a Pair of Tangled Up Headphones... You Have to Untangle Them Carefully and Try Not to Damage Them.
You know the saying, "Life is like a box of chocolates... You never know which one you're gonna get."?
Well, you can use the same quote, but in a different context. I made up the headphones version today while I was laying in the sun listening to my Ipod. I was trying to untangle my headphones and almost broke them. So I thought in my head, Sometimes life is like a pair of tangled up headphones.
And by saying this I'm not saying my life is tangled up. Sometimes it sure feels like it though. But if you are just having trouble with something in your life, whether it's temptation, peer pressure, doubt, et cetera, just remember that anything can be fixed. Even though things seem like things will never be fixed, someday, somehow, they will be fixed. Just pray to God about it. And don't worry if things don't get better right away, because it takes time.
And let me remind you, God wouldn't give you any situation you're not strong enough for. Like the verse,
"I can do anything through Christ, who strengthens me."
~Phillipians 4:13~
Just keep that in your head and you will be reminded that you are strong enough. You will make it through whatever situation you are dealing with.
Just remember. God is with you. Always.
