Showerheads

Want to know something simple yet tremendously amazing? Showerheads come in different shapes, sizes, abilities and functions. There are rain drop showerheads, super pressurized showerheads, really old non-functional showerheads...and they can range anywhere from $5.00 to $500.00.

When Kristen and I moved into our new home, we had to get a new shower head for the master bath. It was kind of old, and it was also a rain drop showerhead. We did not care for it at all. So I went to Lowes (one of my favorite stores ever) and looked at showerheads. I walked out with one that cost me $6.00. Cheap, effective, and looked good on the wall. We got it home, and we've been using it for the past few months. However, we never really cared for it...because there was no pressure.

We both wanted one that would basically knock us over when we showered. So I came across a website selling what was advertised as the Ultra Showerhead by a company called Siroflex. You can check out the showerhead which is called "The World's Greatest Showerhead" HERE or you can just look at the picture of it HERE. I must admit, this morning's shower was one of the best I've ever had. This is actually the showerhead that most of the Hampton Inn's use.

So why am I talking about showerheads? Simple. You see, when it came to our shower, we didn't feel like we were getting enough pressure. But when it comes to our Christianity, our faith, our walk with God... we don't want any pressure. We don't want people to pressure us into praying, or reading our Bibles, or singing those songs at church, or insert your own pressure you don't want.

Sometimes, I think a little pressure may be good for us. When we're at a job, sometimes the pressure helps us get things done in a better more efficient way. Other times, pressure may force us out of our comfort zone into doing something we never would have done. Pressure is not a bad thing, unless we turn it into something bad.

Here's some pressure for you: Get to church! Be involved. Don't let the rest of your life turn God and church into an afterthought. Make it a priority to be diligent in your faith, your service to God. Let God actually come first (its amazing how that will help the rest of your life as well).

Its funny, when Moses got a little pressure from God to free the Israelites from the bondage of the Egyptians...Moses said "I could never do that". Look what happened as a result of that. God placed a little more pressure on him, and Moses overcame.

Pressure: Its not always bad.
