"In Need Of... Sushi???"

Just for the heck of it ;o)

I don't know if anyone in the Scriptures ever ate sushi??

In Need Of... A Voice that divides the flames of fire.

Just as i want to be heard, God wants to be heard.
If i want the sovereign Lord of the universe to listen to me, who am i to ignore Him?

This is amazing: (The lines in italics are the ones i was most taken with :o)

Psalm 29 -

Give unto the Lord, O you mighty ones,
Give unto the Lord glory and strength.
Give unto the Lord the glory due to His name;
Worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness.

The voice of the Lord is over the waters;
The God of glory thunders;
The Lord is over many waters.
The voice of the Lord is powerful;
The voice of the Lord is full of majesty.

The voice of the Lord breaks the cedars,
Yes, the Lord splinters the cedars of Lebanon.
He makes them also skip like a calf,
Lebanon and Sirion like a young wild ox.
The voice of the Lord divides the flames of fire.

The voice of the Lord shakes the wilderness;
The Lord shakes the Wilderness of Kadesh.
The voice of the Lord makes the deer give birth,
And strips the forests bare;
And in His temple everyone says, "Glory!"

The Lord sat enthroned at the Flood,
And the Lord sits as King forever.
The Lord will give strength to His people;
The Lord will bless His people with peace.

It really makes me wonder how i don't hear Him when He speaks! I must be really out of tune if i can't hear a voice that shakes the wilderness...
But then, if i stop and think..... When i see a beautiful sunrise, or hear great music, or look at the contrast between a white building against a blue, blue sky -- I think of God. And how he created the world to be perfect and how he gives each person gifts to create beautiful things.
Isn't that like hearing His voice? Like getting a reminder that He is there and He is worthy of worship?

In Need Of... Desperation.

I want to be desperate for God. To be intense in my quest to find out who He is. To dwell on Him day and night....
The psalms contain great examples of desperation. Psalm 27:7 says "Hear, O Lord, when I cry with my voice! Have mercy also upon me and answer me. When You said, 'Seek My face,' My heart said to You, 'Your face, Lord, I will seek.'"
So often in the psalms you hear David say, "Hear me Lord!" I can picture that... I can picture me doing that.... Sometimes i want to stand up and holler at God.... "LISTEN TO ME!!!!" lol
Even though i know He listens to me even when i'm whispering, and he hears my every thought.
I know i don't need to have a tantrum to get God to listen to me :o) But sometimes i just don't feel like i'm getting heard. Sometimes, i feel like i'm not desperate to be heard.
Talking to God should be the most important thing i could POSSIBLY imagine.
I want my heart to cry out to God. I want to seek His face with desparation, recklessly casting aside the world, and opening my soul to Him.

In Need Of... Shakin' Up!!

I have discovered (again) that i'm far too complacent. Far too happy to settle for what i have.
I have no real aspirations or goals..... No dreams for the future.
I coast..... i don't have any aim.... i don't have any direction..... i just kinda go where the wind takes me..... Life may be giving me lemons, and i have no problem making lemonade.... but i want fruit punch...
and it's drivin me nutty :o)

I look at people who have goals and i envy them.... I look at people who dream (large or small) and i wish i could emulate them....

Someone just told me (as i'm writing this):
"I think that you... can do whatever you set your mind to. Now all we have to do, is find something to focus your mind on."

Me in a nutshell? Perhaps.
