truth...

I used this passage of Scripture at the end of my paper, and oh my word, it spoke to my heart. It still is...

"Come, everyone who thirsts,

come to the waters;

and he who has no money,

come, buy and eat!

Come, buy wine and milk

without money and without price.

Why do you spend your money

for that which is not bread,

and your labor for that which does not satisfy?

Listen diligently to Me, and eat what is good,

and delight yourselves in rich food.

Incline your ear, and come to Me;

hear, that your soul may live;

and I will make with you an everlasting covenant,

my steadfast, sure love for David."

~Isaiah 55:1-3

Well, after finally finishing that paper, the park was calling my name. Even though it was raining, I found myself pulling into the Smithville Park for a long walk. I was praying, "Lord, I've been full of RESEARCH. I want to be full of You... please speak to me." So I walked... and walked... and walked. And TWICE, I stumbled on a herd of deer, completely startling them, and I watched them run frantically through the woods with their white tails dancing all around. And then I asked again, "Jesus, are You speaking?" And He said, "Bethany, don't you remember that I know that you love deer?" And so He gave me two herds of them in one day! I felt kind of like Elijah... the Lord was not in the wind, or the earthquake, or the fire... but He was in the deer. =)
