Hungry Still?™

The story

“For He satisfies the longing soul, And fills the hungry soul with goodness.”

‭‭Psalms‬ ‭107:9‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

Your body needs nutrients, but what about your soul?    

Understanding consumption habits and discovering the source of any eating disorder is the only way to really put a stop to it and create a brand new healthy lifestyle.       

This applies to your soul eating disorders as well.       

If you’re new to this whole spiritual consumption concept, here is a breakdown.         

Truth is, our souls are all hungry for something.        

Whether it’s hungry for love, purpose, gratification, acceptance, attention, appreciation, affirmation, peace, excitement, spontaneity, control, etc.       

If you’re like me, you found out that walking with Jesus doesn’t destroy the craving for those things.          

Jesus says that He is the living water 

That when we have Him we will never thirst again 

Jesus satisfies, but we keep eating things that won’t.          

“Why do you spend money for what is not bread, And your wages for what does not satisfy? Listen carefully to Me, and eat what is good, And let your soul delight itself in abundance.”

‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭55:2‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

We find ourselves running to the same junk food that left us empty before and are stuck in this perpetual cycle of being hungry still.     

Hungry Still is what my Momma always used to say to me as a baby. I was always hungry and ready for another bite! I was never satisfied.        

“A satisfied soul loathes the honeycomb, But to a hungry soul every bitter thing is sweet.”

‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭27:7‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

I thought about it though… nothing has changed since then!      

I’m still the same hungry baby.        

I’ve been Hungry Still everyday since then because I ran to the things that tingle my tastebuds but do nothing for my nutrition.            

There are some mindsets, habits, routines, people and other things that work as our souls junk food while the true nutrition is with Jesus!         

However, we have trouble looking at Jesus when we have preset and quick ways of stoping that growl inside.        

It’s hard to go grab a salad when that bag of chips is right there…         

I’m right there with you!           

It’s gotta stop if we are going to ever experience spiritual healing and soul health!           

But let’s get real serious about satisfying that hunger, not just pacifying it!         

That is what Hungry Still?™ is all about!              

We all are hungry and we struggle everyday with what to fill ourselves with…      

Allow me to be your sister-in-Christ and welcome Hungry Still into your day, not because Hungry Still is able to fill you, (because It’s not) but, because Hungry Still?™ is an available vessel God can use to pour true fullness into you!            

We are on this journey together!          

I am still learning everyday and this walk with Jesus has not been easy, but I don’t believe a full and purposeful life should ever come easy!             

Though, every season has its challenges, I have found satisfaction in so many places where I was starving for all the wrong things.                  

I may not be perfect but I can tell you that, in this area of filling myself with the things that will never satisfy me, I am an expert.             

So, I know what it is like to keep running to empty things over and over again, expecting to finally feel secured and full, and still end up more broken and empty.            

This only made me even more so passionate about helping others alongside me see the truth about our soul hunger.            

In the midst of my searching for water in every dry place, I found an endless well of satisfaction and healing in Jesus Christ and the LORD has shown me year after year that His word truly is what I was created to live by!           

I know how it feels to be at the end of yourself and I know how it feels to have exhausted yourself trying to find where you belong. Surely, I am not new to feeling like you can’t escape the pain of your past and I know what it feels like to be unsure if you will ever do anything worth while in the future.        

I know what it is like to reject yourself while still trying to fight for yourself everyday.          

Again, I am not perfect.         

In fact, I am especially broken.         

I can honestly tell you that, though I am not a Biblical scholar, I have years of experience walking in my brokenness and seeing my own decisions leave me even more empty.           

I also have seen what has kept me full, regardless of how broken I am.          

As we continue in this journey together, I will share how God has healed me and sealed some broken pieces in me.             

My hope is that, while we are walking this out together, you will find the fullness you have been searching for, in the only One who is able to fill you.            

I have been set free and I know now what being filled is.        

Now, I only want to share this with you, as we all learn and grow closer to God with every beautiful day God gives us the privilege of utilizing.          

I am so happy to know you are with me in this journey and I am honored that Hungry Still? is something, through which, God can use, to express His love for you.          

YOU ARE SO LOVED!
