Dead Bodies????

Ok, life has a way of really being nutty. I've been digesting; as of late, the way my life has taken a real curve towards the nutty. Im sure the Father just wants to bless me with material for this kooky blog I started, and felt I was in need. So he turned my husband into a transport driver for a funeral home!!!Thats right, Funeral Home!!! Do you all know what that means? You only transport one thing from a funeral home friends, and it isn't pizza!
Well, this job came about right before the bottom fell out for us. We have officially tasted the recession now. So really God is so good and funny at the same time. (I am finding myself in a blurry daze at times and watching or reading everything I can about women who had to survive tough times. You know, all those pioneer women of courage and strength?!)
Back to the job. Ken is now enrolledd in college to get his A.A. degree to become a liscensed Funeral Director.(Thanks to a family member) "Okay....... ", I say. "At least there's job security, the recession can't stop the inevitable".
On another note, you wouldn't believe the strategic place of ministry a person is in, when someone walks in your door who is in great grief and mourning. Im reminded of Jesus himself walking amongst the grieving and dead. How it was his joy to bring comfort and peace and healing to those hearts. He was always walking in on a funeral it seems.
So, here we are in another nutty and sovereign place by the hand of our Lord! Is it easy? No way. Have we had to taste our own losses? Absolutely. Does it make sense? Not really. But, we can either keep crying or just laugh and love its nuttiness!!!

In His Unending Love-Brea.

PS- Did you notice my mention of funerals in my blog greeting? Maybe the Lord took that as an invite?! Way nutty!!!!!

  1. Proverbs 20:24 Baby!

    "A man's steps are of the LORD; How then can a man understand his own way?" I come round to this regularly, or I should anyway. The Lord certainly has a nutty way of getting things done. Though, He probably thinks that about US and in that case, He'd be right of course! I'm shaking my head at all this, but thanks SO much for sharing! I pray you all are blessed through "the inevitable". And what a great place of ministry. Shaking my head some more... wow. :)
