RevGal Jan posted today's Friday Five: Seeking What?
I was struck in our weekly Lectio Divina group by a few verses from Psalm 105:3-4:. . . let the hearts of those who seek the Lord rejoice.
Seek the Lord and his strength;
seek his presence continually.
Seek the Lord and his strength;
seek his presence continually.
Seeking is rejoicing. Rejoicing comes from the seeking, NOT the end of glory, heaven, enlightenment, or whatever. Seeking is the journey--RIGHT NOW!
So for this Friday Five, list what you are seeking, whether it is trivial, profound, or ordinary--whatever you would like to share! List 5 and add a bonus if you feel like it!

What am I seeking? So many things, but for today in particular....
1. A homily for tomorrow's wedding. I began one, but I don't know if I'm following the Spirit with it or not. So I need to "let it lay" for a little while and come back to it and listen again.
2. Some peace from time-anxiety. Do I have enough time to spend "playing" with my parents today? Or do I need to focus? Either way, I seek the peace.
3. Connection.
4. The willingness to just be in this beautiful place (Vermont mountains, GREEN, winding roads...it's like home).
5. More peace and grace and wisdom and... God.
