When you harbour thoughts of your own, they remain your own until you share them with others. I've shared things with you, but you can't actually do anything about them. A few weeks ago, I shared things with someone who can, and things are happening now.
I told the Superintendent minister, my boss, that I would like her help to candidate for Methodist ministry.......
She's like a whirlwind. I'm on a day course in two Saturday's time, I have a stack of books to read, and she's organising a mentor. Blimey!
I've still got to tell my dad. I think he'll be pleased....I hope so, anyway.
When I started this blog all those years ago [yes, really - it was years ago!] it was about growing and developing in this life of ours in the Fens. How things change! You'll have to bear with me if you want to continue on this ride with me - it is still going to be thrifty, cos it can't afford to be anything else now, but it's going to change direction a bit.
From what I have learned today, this candidating malarkey is hard going. It is not like applying for a job where you can think about it, quietly fill in an application form and if they don't call you for an interview, well, no one needs to know and we can all carry on as we were.......no! Everyone has to know in this process, which is good, because they can support, encourage and pray, but there is also the concern that if the Connexion reject the offer, everyone will know about the rejection. Ho hum!
Nothing ventured, nothing gained. It's what God has been asking me to do for nearly 20 years, so I thought that the time had come to get on with it now! Prayers and positive thinking welcome. You lot have seen me through so much, I think you'll probably see me through this as well - thank you x

We will be there with you - more importantly, God will be beside you too, and He has already prepared your path
I went through the C of E equivalent many years ago after years of shall I? Shan't I? Does God want this for me?
It's jolly hard work, pretty awful at times, but if God is calling you, it's the best thing in the world to do. Every blessing
Angela's comment has brought tears to my eyes, especially the bit where she says God will be beside you too, and he has already prepared your path. Although I am not particularly religious, I do feel that someone is beside us guiding us along to a better life. Enjoy your journey, whatever the outcome.
Thinking of you & hope all goes well, Vee x
