Thirsty

As I was driving home from a study date with a dear friend, I was taken back by the supremacy and sufficiency of our Lord and Savior that I felt compelled to write. Although not just simply write in my journal for myself, but to start sharing my words and heart with others because as Christians and followers of Christ, our faith is something that we shouldn't keep to ourselves but share with others.
Tonight I was asking myself the question, how am I being fed? Have I been feeding myself with selfish and worldly desires or have I been feeding myself with Gods love? Have I been feeding myself through the choices I make through by sitting on Netflix rather than going to the prayer chapel? I have been dehydrated and starved. God's word is the bread of life and the water for our soul, so why is it when we become thirsty we reach for a drink that will only quench our thirst temporarily rather than fill us?
After tonight, I realized I have been thirsting for fellowship. As a person who loves conversing with others and making new friends, I thrive after fellowship; big groups, small groups, prayer groups, worship groups and coffee dates. I love encouraging others and building people up as well as being encouraged and hearing others stories and struggles. Sometimes we can best learn from each other and what they have experienced as well as how God is working in their life daily. We shouldn't be afraid to share our faith with others, especially with our brothers and sisters in Christ, because simply asking how their walk with God has been could mean the world to someone or be a reminder to the other. Share verses with one another, say a prayer together or send a little encouragement to a friend this week. This evening I was fed through fellowship with a beautiful sister in Christ through talking about our experiences and where God is at in our lives as well as sitting on the living room floor working on homework. I was thirty and God didn't hold back from hydrating me. I was hungry and God provided the right foods to fill me.
So my question for you is how are you feeding yourself? Are you feeding yourself with the proper nutrients you need to fill you or are you filling yourself with junk food that will only satisfy you temporarily?

John 6:35 "Then Jesus declared, I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty."
