So Tonya and I often have "counseling/encouragement sessions" over g-mail chat. Today we talked about the word SPEW...as in:
"Water spewed out of the broken fire hydrant"
"Coke spewed out of the can when I opened it up"
"Old Faithful spews"
"I laughed so hard I spewed out my food"
You get the idea. What a gross word right? Who says Spew? There are so many more eloquent words. Though "spewing" is what we often do because of the messy lives we lead. We go to our friends and spew all of our drama, excitement, stresses, triumphs. We may even go to the Lord and SPEW our stuff on him...which by the way, he wants us to do. But are you always the spewer and not a spewee? Ask yourself that question. We long for someone to spew on, but are you a spewable friend? Are you a spewable disciple of the Lord? Are you letting him speak to you, empower you with the Holy Spirit?
As much as I SPEW, and Lord knows that I do, I want to be spewable. So here I am! Spew on me!

I think you're spewable or a spewee! I love this post and I think you are so right on all accounts. I want to be spewable too and often pray for the wisdom to listen and respond or to simply listen.
