totally bizarre week

[mina]

I'm having a freaky and bizarre week, and it's not over yet! I've had several strange things happen this week in my classroom. I also had to attend 3 retirement parties. Tommorrow I'm going to a wedding. And sunday I'm going to a funeral. I really don't know what God is trying to show me or tell me in this. I'm attending all these life stage things and it's just making me feel bad cause my life seems sort of stuck right now. And I really dont want to go to the wedding. It's depressing and it makes me only think about myself. I don't even know the couple really. So maybe I won't go. I guess I'm just feeling overwhelmed and all. It's so weird that I'm going to retirement parties, a wedding , and a funeral all in one week.

Well I'd say just be happy for the bride and groom for the Wedding and just offer your congrats. If it's somebody you don't know then don't worry about it too much. Sometimes there are things in our lives that we just have to go to and weddings are one of those things. It may be boring but I guarantee when you get married they'll remember you came to their wedding.

I'm not too sure what to say about the funeral because the way you're talking it sounds like it's somebody you don't know too well. Well I'll be watching this post and I'll make sure to reply and make sure you're doing all right.

crazy week huh?

Sometimes God does the most work on us when we feel stuck or in a desert place. It's all a proccess. God may be taking you through these events or they may just be happening not caused by him, but regardless, he can make good come out of all things and grow you wiser through each experience. Just rememeber one day it could be your wedding, your retirement party, or your funeral. How would you want others to feel when they attend these things? Try to put yourself in the other people's shoes. I believe it is a very Godly thing to do. After all God himself did that very thing when he came to earth as a baby. I hope that you feel God's peace this week amidst what may be a busy and confusing time. God loves you so much. And he will guide you. I'd reccomend reading through proverbs. There are 30. so you can read one a day as a monthly devotional. Pray to gain wisdom into the areas of your life that you don't understand. God will grant you discerment.

God bless

hugs

Well if I do get married, I don't care who comes except for like 5 people. Weddings just depress me. It's wonderful that the couple is so happy, I just get jealous and then sad b/c it'll be a full out miracle if I ever do get that chance. And when I retire, I really don't care who comes I'm a leave quietly kind of person, I'll just be happy to make it out alive. As for my funeral, I'll be dead and with Jesus so I don't think I'll care who is there.

The funeral I'm going to is that of a family friend. He lived a full life. It's sad, but he did what he could with the time he was given, so it's not like a tragic death or anything. He was old and in pain and at least now he's not suffering anymore. I find the funeral less depressing than the wedding.

I actually didn't mind going to the retirement parties. I respected those people and are happy they don't have to put up with teaching anymore- as are they. So it was a nice celebration, just weird that there were 3 in one week.

Just do things one at a time and then after you do all of those things just take a deep breath and rest and know that "mission accomplished" really feels great.

Maybe not so weird. Maybe the Lord wanted you to see a sample of the full range of life experiences? Who know, He works in mysterious ways.

well last week was a very crazy week for me myself and it all started at a party at 4am.

The strangest things have happened all last week.....I see it as God trying to speak to me and provide some signs.

Bleh the wedding only made me feel bad and want to get married even more. I don't want to get married to have a wedding, cause a wedding is just one day and is mostly all show. I just want to start a new part of my life with someone wonderful in a committed relationship. Bleh

Heh, that's how I get at weddings too... it's sucky when you go home alone after them.
