Four Ideas and a Funeral

I'm trying to come up with a devotion b/c i'm slated to do one tomorrow night. four things have been rolling around in my head and i'm not sure if i should give attention to all three or settle on just one.

wise choices--raising Lazarus from the dead--God's faithfulness--story of Joseph

i know they all seem completely disjointed, but there seems to be a thread sewing them all together in my mind. i'll appreciate any thoughts anyone has on the subject(s).

....................................................

today at work, i was on the phone for over an hour with the "geek squad"(i saw the commerical and decided to call. one side note--an option on the call menu was "press three to hear a chainsaw rip thru a computer hard drive" i found that hilarious) only to find out that they were unable to help me. i called a few other places, and no one seemed to have the knowledge i'm looking for. i could feel myself growing impatient. well, of course, right? not exactly.

i could feel the flesh struggling with the transformation. to be or not to be... rude. i was comforted by the fact that i could feel the struggle. but maybe i shouldn't have been.

.......................................................................................

from my office window, i watched people stream in and out of the church across the parking lot as the funeral began and ended. prayers to all who have been affected. every funeral i have attended has been on a brilliantly sunny day.

I am on a journey, searching for God and what that means in my daily life. It's not about constraints, it's not about limitations, but freedom. I know something exists beyond the visible. I live thinking about possibilities and what could be and the necessary steps to make things happen. I like long talks with a good friend, drinking tea, eating breakfast with my husband, going to a bookstore (they are the new libraries), cool mornings, windy days in the fall, learning about love and life from those who seem to have found their way, teenagers, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, long baths, and connecting with another heart. I am learning how to love, how to live, when to speak and when not to, when it's time to gather the stones, when it's time to let go, surrender, forgiveness, and discipline.
