The last few days have been an adventure. Friday began with TOH and I heading down to the GCN retreat. There was some time for well needed chilling but it was also a time of deep challenge for me, as a Christian who is part of a couple who might individually and together be being called into ministry. For a fuller insight read what TOH posted on her blog.
The Saturday morning involved in TOH and I leading a session together. This was really meaningful for me as it was the first time we had worked together in this way. Also though it bought memories of last year flooding back. Without the "error in my understanding" when I had offered to lead a session and the encouragement I got afterwards I wouldn't have offered myself for local preaching. I love the GCN people but particularly for the gracious heart they have in letting people offer themselves to help, even if they are not brimming with experience.
The fellowship is the most important part of GCN retreat for me and this year was no different. It was great to catch up with some old friends and make some new ones.
We had to come home early though because I had a job interview yesterday. For v. obvious reasons I am not going into it all on here except to say that whilst I didn't get the job I was greatly blessed by the experience and particularly the feedback. Over the last four days it really appears that God has not been answering many of the questions but he has been confirming the direction.
