My faucets drip! On purpose so they won't freeze at night when our temperatures have been in the low single digits. 

I drink about 64 oz. of water a day, but I still find myself very thirsty. I'm not just thirsty for clean, clear purified water. (I put a filter on my faucet in the kitchen last week.) I'm thirsty for more of Christ. I've been through "spiritual" type thirsts before, but this one is different. I can't really explain it because I can't think of the right words... but this one is more intense.

When I turn on my faucet late at night when the temperature is in the low single digits the water first comes out in a quick stream until I turn it so that it drips, rather than running in a stream.

I feel the opposite. I've been a drippy faucet with getting just enough so that I won't freeze, but somehow I can see myself through this new desire, this new thirst in Christ to become a steady stream. I am so thankful for these times of growth. I am always amazed at what the Lord does when I humble myself and desire for Him to continue His work in me. It's not all fun, but boy is it worth it!
