Back to the ark project- I only have one hour to work with the kids so I'm trying to get some of prep stuff done. We have been asked to share it with the congregation when its finished so I'm making a costume of the High Priest - so far the white hat thing has been the easiest!

I got a dark blue sleeveless t -shirt for the ephod and split it up the sides about half way and finished the open seams- there has to be 4 corners for the fringe to go on. I found some bells  (and the shirt) at the thrift store.

 I've been sewing bells and pomegranates along the hem. Last night as I was sewing them on I thought of the people who had made the real thing- what a joy. I wondered if they where as concern as I was about making any errors and how hard it would be to get more materials and start all over as I was.
Still, as I looked at the bell I had in one hand and the needle I held in the other, there was something really awesome about the whole thing- knowing I was doing something like someone else had hundreds of years ago. This is the feeling I want to share with the kids.

We are recreating, even if only in cardboard and pasta, one of the most Holy of things human hands have ever created. An object that its self was a recreation of something in Heaven - the place where Jesus, himself atoned for our sins. Wow... I really hope I can past all this to the kids!

Well my long awaited Ark of the Covenant project with kids is about to take place this Sat.! I have all the pieces parts together except the dowel rods for the carrying pole and the rings to attach them with! I plan on taking lots of pictures and it has been an adventure already!

I went all over the net looking for pictures and... when they say you can find anything on the net - they were not kidding!
Do you know that the there is not one, but a group of places that have made Arks - all covered with gold and even more places that claim that they have or at least know where the real Ark is? The Germans are supposedly really looking for it and the one that has flooded the net with his claims is the most... Just do a Google search on  Ron  Wyatt- He's everywhere- it doesn't mean he right but he does give ya food for wondering a bit!

Anyway, I found all kinds of stuff about the ark and after reading Exodus 25 so many times- it was amazing to me how different all the pictures I saw and what the Bible details are so different! I guess that shouldn't be that surprising, now that I stop to think about it.
It was fun looking though! and I did find a copy of the 10 commandments written in Hebrew in free-ware to section for us to use in our "stone" tablets.
I've printed it off and we will be mounting to a foam form of the tablets. Here is a picture of it:

TenC

And this is one of the pictures of the Ark, that came the closest to the Biblical descriptions as I could find- if you run across anything better by Friday - feel free to leave me a link-thanks!

The only thing wrong with this one is that the carrying poles are not covered with gold! But then only G-d is perfect right?
Our Ark is going to be made out of cardboard, pasta shells, dowel rods and foam packing. The only thing on ours that is gold will be the color spray paint we use to paint the whole thing with when we are done! But I know these kids- it will be made with as much love for the Lord as the one the Hebrews made all those years ago! Can't wait till Sat.!

Question of the day (somewhere on Xanga) was How does the Holy Spirit move you to Worship?
The post where I had found this question was a place where someone had been in a church service where people were - evidently, taken by the arm and lead to the front to help them get over their shyness in worship. WOW! Talk about being pulled from your comfort zone!

After reading many comments left behind this was my response:

"You should move and worship in tune with the Holy Spirit and how that transpires should be between the two of you - no one else.

I sometimes think that a lot of people forget what the word Worship means- to some it's singing- to another is it listening to the Word being preached to others it is something totally different. I have been in so many different churches that the word Worship has often rung rather hollow.

The  o'saying "He worshiped the  ground she walked upon" brings to mind newly weds on their honeymoon with a man fresh and strong in his passion for his bride. Is that the kind of feelings you have for God? Are you deeply and passionately loving God when you're in a services... holding nothing back? If you are then  you are  Worshiping Him. 

When I 1st fell in love with my husband I could not take my eyes off of him and  being  teenagers at the time (28yrs ago) - it didn't seem to matter where  we were- the whole world could have blown up and we would not have noticed because we were so focused on each other.

That is how we are called to Worship God- We are the Bride and He is our Groom.

Yet if anyone had tried to tell us how to love each other we would have both just laughed and moved on. You can't tell some one else how to show love to another. You have to learn that from each other.

 The best you can do is create a place where they can feel comfortable enough to enjoy loving each other and learning from each other - how many places of worship fit that description?

I have been blessed- for the most part mine is pretty good at that."

Looking back on this whole thing- I'm wondering if it is possible to really show the fullness of your love to God in corporate  worship?
I don't think so. Stop and think about it- if you are a bride and you and your groom want to show each your deep feelings for each other - you...
as my kids put it,"Get a room" Honeymoon Resorts and Cruise Lines get this right- a nice big hall for lots of food, a place for dancing and music and a room for the 2 of you... decked out for all your comforts and joy.  Sounds like some of those churches I've heard about in Florida too LOL!

How do you create such a place for the God of Heaven to meet with His Bride? David wanted to try it. His son actually built it... the Temple.

If you were to create the "perfect church" and the "perfect service for worship" what would it be like?

It was bond to happen sooner or later... This week seemed to be my week for it getting it anyway. And it never fails- it always happens through the last person  you'd expect it to. And at the risk of sounding paranoid I think the evil one has decided to target me for a while.

 I have learned to take public "hits" with politeness and tact and quietly walk away- I'm not one for making a scene or returning fire for fire but then I end up letting it eat at me later- all the things I could have said but did not. And the nagging question of why did they do that to me to begin with?

At work this week I was busy doing my job- putting out stock- Bibles. Two of my coworkers are at the register not far from me and they are talking about there tans. One who has always been nice to me - turns my direction and says something to the effect of needing sunglasses to look at my legs because they are so white (from lack of a tan) asking if I ever spent any time in the sun. I smile and say,If I laid out in the sun or in a both, my skin would turn deep red and then peal from the burn later."

I also joked that if God wanted me to have tanned skin he would have made me have dark skin." We laughed for a second and went back to work. A little while later she  came over and told me who nice my displays looked- I had the feeling she realized what she said came off very nice and she was trying to make sure I was not upset. I didn't let on that she had hurt me- she has always been nice to me in the past. But it did.

This morning I was at our worship service. Towards the end of the service we have more worship music. It is a time where most people get very close to the Lord and often times you will see people kneeling in prayer. To make a long story short, I seldom kneel in public - I have issues with PDA in my worship.  It has nothing to do with pride-it has every thing to do with fear- but that's another story.
Today, I felt so close to the Lord and so humbled I found my self on my knees. Nobody seemed to mind but perhaps that explains what happened a short time later.

At the end of our services the pastor invites those in need of prayer to come forward for prayer. There is usually a line and a lot of people praying for everyone. I went up and laid my hand on the shoulder of a friend and silently began to pray for her- also something we have done since I had been there. I pray silently as the pastor prays so has not to disrupt his ministry with her.

After we were done praying he asked me if I needed prayer and I said no, I was just there pray for her, He then told me something that I never thought I'd here him say... now if it was new believers there I would have understood but this was a quiet worship service and the these were people that come up all the time. He told me that he didn't want anyone feeling crowded so since he had two others with him to agree in prayer that if I wanted to pray some where else in the room it would be better. I smiled and nodded and quietly walked away. I went back to my pew and watched for a few minutes to see if the Lord would call me to pray somewhere else and maybe I was too hurt to hear it but there was nothing.My husband sat down next to me - not in a hurry to leave, I suddenly was.

I know that my pastor meant no harm to me and was caring for those he was ministering to and I also know that my coworker didn't mean to come off the way she did. My head knows this but my heart wants to cry. It doesn't help any when the evil one is filling your head with other rude thoughts like- your friends think your not in very in fashion without a tan and your pastor doesn't want you praying with him.

I know it my head the truth but  my heart still hurts. I used to go to my dad with  these kinds of hurts- some how he- better then anyone could make it better with a word and a hug the enemy has no trouble reminding me of the fact that my dad is gone and suddenly what started out as couple of small hurts turns in to grieving. I know that the Lord is close by and this hole in my soul will back close up in a short while....
I guess I just needed a  place to vent it out and this always seems like a good place to do that.
