Today I woke to a carpet of frost and clear blue sky... giving my patch a very different view to normal... Though there was very little else that I could see due to the fog... The heating went on as well it's been on a few times recently but today it was on for 3 hrs. Even put the liner back inside my coat......
Today the patch looked different for another reason...
for sometime about 10 yrs I've had a nagging to candidate as a Ordained Minister in the Methodist Church. To go before the Church last night was one of the scariest moments I've been through.. many of my friends and family have known for sometime that this was what I was thinking praying through.. to have what I've felt on my heart for this time now to before openly examined to begin that being discerned by the church is a scary place to be...
Today I woke to the first part of this discernment within the local church taking place and the church giving me there blessing to continue. Sometime in February I'll go to meet with the district candidates committee and the process willl continue.. before then I need to get my portfolio complete and sent in in triplicate ( have to admit that makes me smile all I can think of with that is Klinger off the tv series M.A.S.H moaning about things being in triplicate for the army)
one step at a time ... well done to the local church for helping you in this process of discernment. It isn't an easy process (as I well know) and it's not fool proof but at the end of the day we have to remind ourselves that GOD IS in charge
