All this swirling controversy about what I say and my search for Gods face.What should I do ? Go and sit in a church and wait for somone to conjure Him up for me? Should I wait and let someone talk Him into me ? ( rotfl) I doubt that will occur. What is this langauge barrier you say Jesus has ? He gets nervous when I say karma instead of sowing and reaping ? Does the moon and His creatures I love have power to steal His glory and my attention from Him ? I dont think so. I dont think God is nervous over me. Im ripping out all the stops and religiosity so I CAN FIND HIM. I know its Jesus. Hes not having a panic attack over my antics and He isnt bipoloar...Hes surely happy Im fussing and ranting and want His attention. Mystics, anicients...wise ones..help this teenage goddess please ?

I'm not sure that I fully understand your question. I don't know where a lot of this is coming from, if other Christians have said these things to you or what? What I can say is that God created nothing that can give us more pleasure than He can. I love creation, but I don't worship it. The Creator is the one who should be worshipped. I can't tell you how many times I've looked at the stars and stared at their beauty. It fills me with such joy, but knowing that there is a loving God who created them for us is unfathomable. We can't put God into a neat little box. He is bigger than anything. He knows you, knows the plans He has for you. He knew you when you were knit inside your mother's womb. He knows better than anyone else, even the people that try to answer these questions with their human logic, what problems you have and what you're dealing with. It's natural to question, natural to wrestle with God, people in the Bible did it. All I ask is that you search His word. The Bible is the road map to our lives. It's not about religion, it's not about works, or how good we are. It's about a relationship with the One who bridged the gap and in our weak, human flesh striving to become more like Him.

Good for you!!! Bravo, really. Start by making meditation a habit. You don't have to sit a funny way or chant strange words. Just take some time everyday to spend alone, close your eyes, and just listen. Listen to the universe. Listen to your heart. Listen to God. Listen to Spirit. Just listen. Listen, and the world will roll at your feet. Be the seeker. Start reading books that interest you. Head to the spirituality section of your local bookstore, start browsing, and listen for your inner voice to guide you.
Always seek your own answers.
The Truth is found in your own heart. She's older and wiser than your head. Listen to her. You are a goddess in embryo (as we all are). It's your basic nature. Let your inner goddess bloom, and follow her guidance. The most important thing she needs is silence - listen to her wisdom, and you'll find her speaking very clearly to you.

When Jesus said not to worship the things of the world I believe this means worldly religions, money, the nasty opinions of people of the world, stuff like that. Stop changing your avatar to suit the opinions of others. Don't worry about what they think! Go ahead with your own intimate relationship with him. You will see him again soon! Send your love out, call to him, you will feel his presence. The beautiful blue sky, the trees, the birds, the wind on your face, soft grass beneath your feet, even the bees, feel the light surround you, they are his creations and are to be adored.
I Love you sister.

God is spirit (wind), so he/she/it (God's gender if God has one is not reveal in the Christian bible) is worship in spirit and in truth.
Heaven is where God is, and hell is where God is not. Earth is where man/women are. The question is how to get to God.
My source is the Christian bible. My belief is that the bible is God's word spoken by the prophets. If it is not in the bible, you cannot logical deduce it somewhere, somehow. Our knowledge of God ends with the bible. Science begins with observation, religious knowledge ends with revelation. If it is in the bible, we know exactly what God intends. There are several examples of human activity not mentioned in the bible: premartial sex, abortion, a women right to choose, etc. These issues are left to man to individually solve; they are not God's issues. So know we have the tools for the believer to work with.
God is spirit (wind), no one conjure him up. God exists before and created everything we have. The glory of God does not depend on man. If you cannot find God, does not mean you are in hell; it merely means you are unaware of his/her/its presence. Karma means action, so what action are you planning to take?
You are at a time when what you believe becomes central. You often hear the term mature faith. You probably know that God kept his promise in Jesus (Jesus means God helps/saves/delivers); that Jesus was executed and that God raised him from the dead (our hope for eternal life), and that Jesus will return. This is the Christian message concisely.
But what do you believe? There are 150 psalms (songs accompany with string harp). I will reference some later. There are four Gospel that give us Jesus ministry to the Jews (Jesus constantly quoted the Old Testament). What do you believe? You may believe or you may not, but if you are undecided, I have a book for you. The bible is a tool for the Christian believer. It is not a conversion manual. It is God's word to man. It does not need any additional material; it interprets itself.
If you want to know what God has said, read his/her/its book. This book provide answers, some you can use, others you may not. It is all in there, and it will provide you answers, God’s answers, but necessarily answers you will accept.
Now I will get you some quotes (previews if you like) that may directly help you with your question.
1 Cor. 10:23"Everything is permissible"—but not everything is beneficial. "Everything is permissible"—but not everything is constructive. 24Nobody should seek his own good, but the good of others.
1 Cor 7:15 ...; God has called us to live in peace.
John 4:21Jesus declared, "Believe me, woman, a time is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem. 22You Samaritans worship what you do not know; we worship what we do know, for salvation is from the Jews. 23Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks. 24God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in spirit and in truth."
Now I have a few psalms for you to use.
Psalm 100 Is when you forget where you belong.
Psalm 23 Is when you forget who cares for you.
Psalm 22 Is when you are in pain.
Psalm 42-43 When other ask you about where is your God.

God is perfect and with out blemish or flaws.You clearly do not want God in your life by your sarcastic referrences to Him. God is fearless and so is Jesus. You dont have to worry about finding God, He will be finding you!

You aren't allowed to see God's face. Maybe you can see Jesus's face, but not Gods. Says so in the bible. Maybe you should be looking in the county jail, or the nearest prison. because most of those people find god or Jesus there.

I'm more interested in why you refer to yourself as a "goddess." Are you challenging the deity of Jesus? You paint such a weak picture of Jesus, nothing like the picture painted by those who knew Him during His public ministry.
Just curious; e-mail if you want.

Matthew chapter 7
7 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:
8 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.
Good luck.
