Water, Water Everywhere!

Revelation 7:17 (ESV). "for the Lamb that is in the midst of the throne shall be their shepherd, and shall guide them unto fountains of waters of life: and God shall wipe away every tear from their eyes."
       The meaning and origin of the name "February" is varied and controversial; but many etymologists agree that the term refers to a time of washing and purification.  Many of us have completed fasting periods during January and are now entering a season of reaping the benefits of the cleansing rituals. We are entering cycles of "washing" off all of the impurities that the "fasting/cleansing brought to the surface.  
As we enter this second month of the calendar year we have shaken off the lingering uncertainties of the past year; reasserted ourselves on our new path of manifestation and are now fortified to push forward with our gifts and talents.  We shall not be moved.  We are bathing in the living water that is Jesus Christ and we shall forever be changed for the better.
     Enjoy the rainy (snowy) days, the windy afternoons and brisk nights; they are reminders that our baptism in Christ is continually washing us clean and renewing a right spirit within us. Showers are refreshing but take the time this month to enjoy more frequent baths; walk in the rain (snow) when possible; substitute alkaline water for your usual beverages and quench that thirst.  If there is an option at your local gym or workout facility, swim a few laps instead of using the regular treadmill or elliptical machines.  You'll be surprised how rejuvenating this month will be as you hydrate your life.  
     Every day is a good day; it is up to us to make it a GREAT day! Be blessed! Dr. JoAnn
