Feed me I'm hungry!

Well of course it's another Nathan story!  I promise these stories are real, I am not making them up!  If you've ever spent some time with my sweetie you'll know that for a fact.  This morning, just like every other Sunday morning in our house, we are making a mad dash to get ready for church!  I've had my shower, clothes on, getting Annagrace and her friend Maryssa out of the bed.  Of course we are all going in 10 different directions, and yes Nathan is awake and happy!  Mark comes out of the bedroom, and asks "Where is Nathan?", I reply, "Um, I don't know, I think he's in his room". Well as you would know of course he's NOT in his bedroom.  Mark makes his way into the living room and kitchen.  I hear, "Annette, you've got to come see this!"  I walk into the kitchen, Nathan has pulled a chair from the kitchen table and climbed into it.  Mark left the cereal on the table the night before.  Nathan has preceded to open the cereal, and take some out with his hands! Of course it's Fruity Pebbles, so they are small pieces.  He has found one of his little bitty small play bowls and a play spoon and is filling his bowl with cereal and trying to eat it!  What a sight!  My soon to be 22 month old has figured out how to fix his own breakfast!!  I guess it was his way of saying, "Feed me I'm hungry."
As I was sweeping my floor this afternoon, I was thinking about me being a child of God.  I hear quite often from fellow followers of Christ.  I'm just so hungry for more of God and more of what He has for me.  I was thinking about my own life and relationship with Him.  I think this was an object lesson for me.  Maybe God wanted me to see.  If you're hungry, do something about it! Don't just sit back and wait on Him to serve me my spiritual food, I felt like He was saying, if you want more of me, you have to get out your own bowl and spoon and fix yourself something to eat!  I know God can fill my spiritual hunger in many ways, but I know I have to do some things for myself.  I need to spend more time in prayer and reading the Word!  I've got to get my bowl fixed so I can eat and get full!  I don't see God as an automatic ice cream machine that I can turn on and stick my head under eat until I'm full!  I think I'm gonna get my a bowl and spoon and see what God has for me!
