Go Meat!

Oh, I am such an Israelite! Hearing from God, obeying and worshipping, and then turning back to our idolatrous ways. Woe is me!!! But isn't it great? His love is so faithful, so insistent, that He won't let me go for long. I remind my own self of the Israelites crying out for more than manna. As if manna wasn't enough! They were being fed. They were receiving bread directly from heaven! Why wouldn't that be enough? But NoooOOOOoooo! They wanted meat. The NEEDED meat. They begged for meat. So what did God do? He gave them meat, of course. He gave them so much it was coming out their noses. What a visual! They ate so much meat they were puking it out their noses. I don't know about you, but I hate throwing up. I will fight it for as long as possible. I don't get the people, like my husband who say, "If I could just throw up, I'd feel better." And one of the reasons I hate to vomit, is because I am afraid of getting it in my nose. So the thought of puking out of my nose is really disgusting to me. Those silly Israelites! Silly, silly me! But I have to tell you, that by last night, I truly felt like throwing up. We have been going and going since last Thursday or so, in preparation and execution of our church Easter program, and I have just been eating on the go. Then this week, the kids had testing, and I just ate on the fly. Well, I admit, it has made me feel VERY YUCKY! I was going to wait until Monday to get right with God, so to speak, because I like symmetry and things should start on Monday. (Never mind that Easter is bound to produce candy, which will be lurking around the house) But instead, I was emailing a friend last night, and talked myself into starting back today. So pray for me when I come to mind. It is hard to kick start a, well, you fill in the blank...
