I spent 18 months dithering about moving parishes until I got a grip of myself, said that it' time to change and made the decision and announced it.<br /><br />Giving myself plenty of notice was a wise thing to do - because there were lots of things to be untangled, and people to thank and to say farewell to. There was also the new place to consider and what they might think - I'm I just using them to get a foot on the slippery ladder of training? <br /><br />But all of that is in the past. Leaving went as well as could be expected and I made the wise decision that I won't be going back any time soon (to the parish that is - I still see friends there). The new place has absorbed me, amazed me, and loved me in equal measure. Suddenly it feels like the real home and the dithering a dim memory. Loads happening. Last Sunday we had a Belvedere Church day, where all of the churches came together and worshipped together as 'The Church in Belvedere' not Churches!<br /><br />We made a commitment to each other to be ambassadors of Christ in our village - something to work and pray for. Exciting times and I've got induction for training in July, with a start date of September.<br /><br />God works within us and with us (if we let him). He knows about our dithering, but allows us to do so, because it's also about growth and relearning how things can be or might be. I can see this in your courage in taking the step to regaining a sense of independence with your holiday. Rebuilding the resilience that you possess in abundance, but lovingly put on the back burner with David. All strength to your elbow as the saying goes :)UKViewerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18114944341930758335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8137857716187567509.post-64448897436249242242014-06-02T09:27:25.984-07:002014-06-02T09:27:25.984-07:00Bless you Ray....I am sure your confidence is well...Bless you Ray....I am sure your confidence is well founded!

(Quite a common phenomenon.)<br />I found it quite insulting to be considered part of a pair with no identity of my own and it was made worse by the fact that I have no driving licence.<br />They used to look at me with pity as if to say "poor thing, she can't even drive".<br />These days I act with absolute confidence and it fools everybody.<br />BlessingsX<br />Ray Barneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09209429097744326143noreply@blogger.com
