The month of November has been illuminating on a number of levels. God has been spinning new threads of thought in constantly in my mind, each of different color, texture and weight. Often, God teaches me by planting a stubborn question in my mind, or an idea, or by giving me a heightened awareness about a particular topic.* I start to see or hear that topic everywhere, in music, in meetings, in scripture, in my friends' brain ramblings. Usually the theme of focus is distinct and singular, one per season, maybe two if God's doing something crazy. This month has been different. God's been teaching and motivating me in several different areas that seem independent of each other, and try as I might I can't quite see how all the threads weave together. It's like playing dot-to-dot without the numbers.
These are a few of the themes that have been growing in my lately:
- Specifically Designed for a Purpose (Original, right?)
- Doing "Single" Well
- Singles in the Church
- Brazil
- Hands-Off
- The Virgin Mary: Blessed and Limited
Many of these topics have intentionally misleading titles, as I intend to describe each one individually and in depth. Oh, I can just feel the anticipation rising! Some of these ideas are linked, but like I said earlier, others seem removed or disconnected. Expect to see more ponderings on that in the upcoming weeks.
*I'm probably not alone in that. =)
