"soaking" in the desert!

I don't think of the desert as a place to soak.  It is dry,hot, lonely, barren and frankly, not a place I like to be.  You see, I have been in a spiritual desert for a while now.  For reasons I am still learning, the Lord has placed me there.   But, I have found that it truly can be a place to soak....in the Son.  I have met Jesus there many times.  Just when I feel like I will never get out, like I can't go one more day, like I am going to whither away, He steps in and gives me a drop.  Just a drop.  But for one fleeting moment, I have EXACTLY what I am thirsting for, desperate for...trust in Him.  The kind of trust that makes your heart laugh, your mind rest, your soul melt.  The kind that only my Jesus can give.  It is fleeting; I really would love a whole bucket full.  But I know, for now, a drop is all I need and truthfully, all I can handle.  
He is teaching me to be dependent on Him, to find EVERYTHING I need in Him.  He is breaking me of my dependence on people.  Oh, how painful this is at times, but how precious.  It is calm and quiet in the desert.  I can hear Him very, very well.  So, for now, I sit and wait on the Lord and "soak" in my desert.  Jesus Loves Me!
