hopes and fears

When you started big school, left home for work or college, you had a pang of not ever coming down this road again.
As I build to my ordination, I feel the same. I am pretending it is all okay when really I am churning
It is not horrible, like any new chapter you want it to being but also it holds unknowns.
I can only pray and talk about it. My kids ( what a crap phrase) are both sorting out exams and things. The pressure they feel is also very hard. Meanwhile Ruth trying to hold us all together and worries for us all. She is going to a new place to be with me. She is happy here and whilst she is also happy to move, it is tinged with sadness.
We hope that we are just doing God's will and we will be in the place God wants us to be. Anything else is ephemeral. Passing ,temporary of no real worth.
think of us as we think of you
