So tonight in Yield (young adult group) we talked about seeking after God.

I am once again amazed at the wisdom shared in the group.

We discussed that seeking means to seek after, want, pursue, desire...to crave. Are we craving the things of God?

So, to put the Word to the test (and it always passes) we are going to seek after God like never before. Starting Dec. 1st, we have written down what we are seeking in God, what door we want to see opened by knocking and we are asking God...we don't have because we don't ask, right?

And, we are going to check our hearts so that we aren't asking amiss, but that we are asking out of Godly desire and not selfish ambition.

So, what is Lisa P-hyper doing? Well, I'm going to seek God for more of Him. He's real and he's personal so I want a real and personal, deeper relationship with Him. I am going to ask God to open the door for ministry and revival/renewal in the youth AND I'm going to ask God for something that I am not going to put on this blog. :)

Then, I'm thinking. How in the world do I seek after God? Well, if I wanted something, I would look for it...persistantly and consistantly. I would stop doing other things to persue. So, no secular anything for me in December. No tv, no secular internet, no nothin'. The only exception I see is when I visit my mother in law and their tv will be on...it will just happen. Next I will replace all that other stuff I do with prayer and reading the Word. That's a good idea anyway, huh? That sounds like seeking.

We talked tonight about how a musician begins to be a musician. My husband had a desire...he had a craving to play the guitar. So, he got a guitar and started to learn how to play. His desire was so big that the sore fingertips he got for his effort didn't mean a thing...he kept pursing. Jarred and Bethany mentioned that after playing for awhile, your fingers become numb to playing and their fingerstips becamse calloused. Jarred can't even feel his face with the tips of his fingers because his fingers are primed for playing.

So, what I deduce from that is that IF my desire, passion and pursuit is greater than the obstacles, then I have an appointment with God. YEE HAWWWWWWWW

He said to ask and I'll receive so I'm asking. He said to knock so I'm gonna knock and he said to seek and I'll find. So...here we go.....  I'm seeking, knocking and asking...next thing you know I'll be finding, walking thorugh an open door and receiving. YEEE HAWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!
