Today I am thinking about all the benefits of being a well watered woman. I took some time to listen to my good friend, Tony’s new podcast, The Well Watered Woman, and was floored by the revelations, confirmations, and peace I received while listening. I actually found myself wanting more and more. It was such a refreshing listen!

There is definitely a difference in a well watered woman verses a woman who never goes to the true Thirst Quencher. When we go to the Father as we are with no pretenses to simply be filled by Him is it a truly awesome feeling.

A well watered woman understands that everything she is, all the she has and all the she will ever be is only because of God. Tony covers a lot of this in her first episode. I was just reminded of the fact as I listened to what she was pouring into me today.

“I like your Christ.I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ” – Mohandas (Mahatma) Ghandi

Just by adding the quote above I think I may step on some toes today; and if I do I am sorry, but sometimes we need to be reminded of who we are supposed to be if we claim to love the Lord and desire to follow His will for our lives.

When I first heard this quote by Ghandi I gave it some deep thought. Not that I was bothered that he said it but rather why he said it.

I watched this and the tears started right away. Then I thought about my cardboard testimony. What’s yours?

My cardboard testimony:

Molested and raped of my innocence
Became a Victim of Circumstance

Fearfully and Wonderfully
Living Life Authentically

I was listening to a program today on Blog Talk Radio about Surviving the Recession. It was a Christian program and so I was intrigued. Plus it was friend of mine and I wanted to support her show today.

As I was listening to it, God reminded that it is so very important to make His word more than just a Spirit thing. It’s a practical thing as well. Our everyday lives should be led by the Word. Every aspect, every job, every title, every thing we do must have a practical application directly related.

Let me share a story so that it becomes more relevant.

My family is hurting financially and a few weeks ago I really could not figure out why. So I asked God what is going on because everything was being turned off or near that point, we could barely grocery shop, and going on a family out was impossible.

Sometimes you just have to stop and think about why you Praise Him. OK, I will speak for myself. I am reminded daily why I praise Him: my God, My Father, and my Everything. For me there is no other way. I am thankful in the storm, out of the storm and on my way into the storm. Some may not get that but everyday with Jesus is sweeter than the day before. I know that my life is because God is. I have witnessed and experienced to much of His powerful grace and mercy in my life to think otherwise.

As I listened to this song today, I was inspired to write the words above. This song truly says it all for me.
