Water Witching the Soul

Water witching whether you believe in it or not (Personally, I think it may have to do more with some people's empathetic abilities with the natural forces than with actual witch craft.) is the most basic skill of any living creature. Finding a source of water. In the soul, I am referring to the well of eternal water which Jesus said would bubble up inside a believer.

The new church which my wife and I now attend has begun an interesting journey to finding my soul water. My recent post about my dream didn't bring forth any great dream interpretation, but it did help my to understand the meaning of my dream. God sent me the dream in order to help my understand that while I am wandering I am not lost all. The things I need are right there in my general neighborhood.

At our old church, I was spoon feed the Word of the Lord. The muscle that I like to call faith was atrophied to a small unattractive spec. But now with the new church spiritual living is not spoon feed at all. I tell my wife all the time this church is about relationship, and relationships take time. I have also come to the realization that this church is about seeking your own spiritual food not being spoon feed the Gospel. I have begun the slow but ever present search for God in my daily life. When not being feed I need to find it on my own. I am witching my soul trying to find the well that I know is just below the surface. I know I can find it, but I also know that it will come at a price. As someone in the new church said, "Relationships get messy." So does digging for a well. Breaking through the surface means coming into contact with pieces of me I wanted to bury. So, here's to digging a well and here's to finding out what God wants to show me about myself.
