i want to live my life completely drenched.
all my worries, frozen in a thick shell of ice around my heart, quickly melting because of my abandonment to His love.
a heart worn smooth over time in the river of Living Water.
and i want us to be a people who feel the streams of Living Water coursing through us. and i want to surround myself with those who do. the ones who truly seek this. not merely ones who seek to be good christians or to do all the right things.
every moment, every thought. carried out in the music that surrounds and overwhelms with the pleasure of knowing God and the sheer loveliness that is life in Him and created by Him.
i seek still to capture in my words the essence of feeling His overwhelming presence. into which i come and go, never remaining more than a few hours or days. let us wholly thirst.
so who will do this with me?
and what do i need to change to do this? to be there?

Tahni, without obvious bias, you are one of the most interesting and gifted writers I have ever known. It is an honor to be your Dad and a greater honor to be your friend.
Love, Dad
Tahni,
This post made me happy that I am one of God’s children. I pray that I am wholly thirsting for him, but I know that too often I stumble and get caught up in the day to day. But that is also part of life…we make the choice to keep working towards him.
I see the difference between my relationship with God now and 15 years ago. I do know Him deeper and seek him more now than I did then.
Love you, Louanne
