Just one word

And the word is "passed" and it is the best word I have heard all week!  The local tutor for the Faith & Worship course has heard from Methodist HQ that I have passed the written assignments that I sent in for the end of March.  That means that I have passed the entire written course.......phew! The relief is amazing.  She is coming over on Wednesday to go through the results and the comments with me - I expect that there are things I could have done differently and better, but hey, to have passed?  Well, I am grateful.   The presentation at the preachers' meeting went well on Wednesday evening, and the meeting recommended me to continue forward. I now just have one more trial service to take at the end of June, in the presence of a minister and a preacher, and if they are happy, I am there.

Now, don't get confused - this is the course and practicalities which surround the Local Preacher appointment which I have been studying for for the last five years. It is nothing to go with the lay ministry assistant job which has still not been advertised.  That's a different story.....one we'll get to when the powers that be get the contracts and job description ironed out.  Hopefully that will happen in June.

It's been another full day here - I did an extra hour of overtime this afternoon, more than I had planned to do today, but it was bucketing down the rain this morning and I knew that the garden would be too wet to do what I had hoped, so I thought I might as well earn a few more pounds, and do the gardening tomorrow.  Once I had finished work, we went off to town to spend the Lidl voucher and stock up the fridge.  I also bought some spinach seeds as the EFG is eating it daily: it is not cheap and so I thought I had better grow some!  We're all sorted now for the week ahead.

Tomorrow is a house and garden day - so I had better get up a little earlier than I did today...

Have a good weekend, wherever you are xx

Oh well done! What an achievement. You must be very pleased.
Spinach just coming up in my garden, and such a fabulous one to grow, as it comes up so quickly. Mind you it does bolt something dreadful after midsummer, so get that EFG eating it faster than it can run!

@SBBE - sorry I didn't get to share the voucher news. I wasn't prepared! I remembered that there was a Lidl voucher in the Lidl news that goes in some of the papers at the "end" of the month, and I shared it last month, but I wasn't expecting it last weekend - and consequently just bought our normal Saturday paper, the Mail, because I like the tv bit in that, and when I got around to reading it on Sunday, found the voucher! Too late by then to shout about it. Will try to be prepared next month.....it was for £5 off when you spend £40.

Everyone - thank you for all your kind comments. This course has been challenging and inspiring, but at times, just a hard slog! I am glad that this stage is over.
