come thirsty

bought a new devotional book today titled 'streams in the dessert.' sort of reminds me of the little prince...when the storyteller is desperately looking for water in the dessert...and when he does find a well, the water is sweeter than anything imaginable.

the first sip of the book was definitely sweet
the devotionals are divided into one story a day for 365 days

'whatever you ask in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.' Mark 11:24

as simple as that.
the story about a boy and his christmas present. grandma promised him a stamp album, but never really gave it to him at christmas. i'm thinking in my mind the boy would complain to the grandma and be sad about not getting the present, but no, the boy believed that he already received it when he was telling his friends about it. it was after one month, and still no present. it was not that the grandma forgot, but she needed to order the specific one and it came in the mail late, and being the wrong order. instead of waiting any longer, she sends the parents the money to buy the album for the boy in their home town.
