Vocation

Over the last few years I have felt a calling towards something and no matter how much I have ignored or tried to ignore this overwhelming feeling it draws me back. I can manage to not think about it for a while and then BANG it's back and it's all I can think about. I have focused throughout Lent on developing myself as a Christian and trying to catch up on some reading. During Lent several people suggested I may need to follow a path into the church. Why do people think that because you are involved quite heavily within the church you must want to automatically be ordained, always gets me but in my case even though I jest with the suggesters deep in my heart it's true. I feel God has something else planned for me and wants me to do more work - I'm not sure what this is and this is where I need some help.

I know I need to follow this through. We have a new Priest in Charge arriving soon and I think I will wait for her to arrive and have a further chat when she has settled in.

Let see over the next few months which path God has chosen, I'll be adding journal entries.

It's been a while

Sorry, I javen't had much time recently to update anything or enter any thoughts and meanderings.

I was ill for a short time and the focus of Holy Week has over taken me.

Vocation and dicernment have also been part of the focus of lent for me. I have been reading several books, Mission Shaped Church, Life and Works of a Priest and A Deacons Ministry.

Time has been taken up by praying and reflecting ob my own path and where I am going and the great Lent course our churches put on this year.

"The Church is a community of people in mission"

Be back soon....
