Friday Five: Seeking What?

Today's Friday Five for RevGalBlogPals:

I was struck in our weekly Lectio Divina group by a few verses from Psalm 105:3-4:

. . . let the hearts of those who seek the Lord rejoice.
Seek the Lord and his strength;
seek his presence continually.

Seeking is rejoicing. Rejoicing comes from the seeking, NOT the end of glory, heaven, enlightenment, or whatever. Seeking is the journey--RIGHT NOW!

1. I am seeking deeper connection (perceived by me) with God.

2. I am seeking relief from the pain/symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis.

3. I am seeking more disciplined, scheduled attempts at cleaning out and getting rid of stuff.

4. I am seeking more intimate sharing with my children and husband, which I guess could plainly be called "communication."

5. I am seeking to serve more fully with greater awareness--where and when unknown.
