Chapter 3 – Awakening – Part 4

All who are skilled among you are to come and make everything the Lord has commanded.
Exodus 35:10

Exercise 4: What I Need

Make a list of what you need to begin practicing your art. What do you really need? Time? A place to paint? Supplies? A new flute? Money for a refresher course? The courage to join a writers’ group? Voice lessons?

I need a better laptop. I need a private space of my own to work. I need the guts, direction and money to get real lessons. I think I need the desire to decide what I truly want to focus on. There are so many things that I want to do. But I should perhaps pick the one that I most want. To choose to do one thing well … I don’t know if I’m willing …What would bring me the most joy?

This computer is trash and I’m tired of dealing with it!

Give the Lord an opportunity to demonstrate his interest in you and his power to help you realize your dreams: Ask God for what you need and see what you will receive.

Commit your work to the Lord, and your plans will be established.
Proverbs 16:3

“Amid thoughts from visions of the night, when deep sleep falls on men…”

Job 4:13 (ESV)
