Little did he know...

You've all read my intentions about applying for the lay ministry worker job which we hope is going to be advertised later this spring, but few people in real life know about my thoughts on the job.  But the Spirit is working, and I had a lovely preacher ring me up last night, quite out of the blue, and tell me that he thinks I would make a good lay worker and that I should consider applying for the job!  It confirmed my prayers, and encouraged me no end.  I just hope that they get the advert out soon....the waiting is hard work.

I spent most of yesterday with a headache but it did improve by the time I went to bed last night!  I got hit on the forehead on Sunday by a coil of tensioned wire that I was removing from the fenceposts - the FH had strung it up and we had netting on it to grow runner beans on in the first couple of years that we were here.  Trying to be efficient for the fencer chap who is coming today, I was removing it so that he could get on with the new fence posts and not have to waste [my] time on the wire.  The end of it pinged out unexpectedly and caught me quite hard at the time.  It feels bruised but all I have to show for it is a little scab where the end of the wire made a perfect circle in my skin and bled for a minute.

Hope you are have a good day today xx

that indeed was very nice of that guy to say that. It's always nice to know what you are thinking is what other people are thinking also. Here's hoping your headache has truly gone now.

What a boost for your confidence, you know now you should indeed apply for the post.

Wow, you were lucky the wire didn't catch your eyes....hope you're feeling much better now.

What good news that someone is thinking about you for the lay preacher work. I still have fingers crossed, so I hope they hurry up and advertise as it's getting a bit uncomfortable to have crossed fingers all this time!!
And thank goodness it didn't get you in the eye - Ouch
