1000 Piece Puzzle

So many folks just love sitting and putting puzzles together; some even love doing the 1000 piece ones; not me, though!  However, life has dealt me one in the past months and I have been sitting with it, just pondering how to put it all together.  

Now, my husband, Jerry loves the 300 piece ones and he has explained his strategy as well as sitting hours with him as he just patiently looks everything over, finally finding a piece here and there.  Nothing is fast though.

Life is like that lately and days I think I have made no progress on my puzzle because of just sitting and looking at the different options someone says something to me that brings some light or clarification and then it's as if a couple things fit in.

My sister, Deb, just asked tonight about my concerns and reminded me how I was paralyzed with fear only a couple weeks ago and now some things were falling into place.

Amazingly, a person pointed me in a good direction and with some phone calls I have an interview next week.  That will help, too, in dealing with my concern...another piece to the puzzle, making this thousand piece monster take shape a bit more. 

Of course, there was a saying to the effect that in order to get muddy waters to clear, we only had to let the water sit quietly for a while.  It's amazing what happens with that quieting.  Helpful thoughts come in; someone says something with a suggestion; or a resource person hands you a piece of paper with phone numbers to call.  

Yes, it's not fast, but that huge puzzle in life, whatever it is, is no stranger to many of us with our various situations and challenges, but there is a divine force in the universe for each of us to call on. It may not seem like any answers come, it may be so slow, but eventually it will all come together...piece by piece!
