NT90X, Fish with the spiritual water of life

Its been nearly a month. It's been since Easter that I have had anything to say. Everyday since school got out I've been mopey. Sleeping till forever, not relying on God for my strength in packing and this move. I've decided to do NT90X , reading the entire new testament in 90 days over the summer. I think my lack of willingness to do this before has kept me from trusting fully. I have chosen a few verses every day to post  from the reading. Since I didn't start posting verses on here, I will copy what I posted from facebook here. I have chosen verses to make people think. To understand. The Bible is written for all to understand and believe, but the verses are only fully understood in context, so I recommend you read the New Testament, Matthew- Revelation, with me, in your own time or over the summer as I am. The old testament defines the prophesy of Jesus to come, the New Testament is Jesus fullfilling the Old Testament's prophesy.

“Come, follow me,” Jesus said, “and I will send you out to fish for people.” Matthew 4:19

Following reading Matthew 1-4 Monday night (a day late) I had a dream. My good friend Cory and I, who recently graduated from Plant Pathology at MSU, wanted to be student teachers at a school. I inquired through talking to the Principal of the school and Cory talked to a teacher directly. The irony was this was an internship position. Neither of us would get paid. we wanted to serve. Cory, who talked to a teacher directly, got in, the principal wanted nothing to do with me. I decided to inquire at a private school and got in.
I had a dream that my neighbor's mother became a teacher at that school and I was going to be her assistant. The first day, she wanted me to share the story of Jesus. I decided to bring in my pet fish.
Upon entering the school, I realized my once full tank was out of water. My fish were hardly alive.  I remember in the dream how easy it seemed to talk about Jesus who I loved so much.
This was my analogy for class.
"Children, we are fishers for men as Jesus's disciples. Men are like fish, without the spiritual water given to us by Jesus, we die. My fish, without water, were close to death. This is our spiritual condition without Christ. Today I will give you each one of my fish, to keep on your desk, to feed to livelyhood. With renewed spiritual water, we can bring those around us to the life we have found through the spiritual water- just like the fish did."
