This blog has been part of my life for the last 7 years. On Wednesday I get news which could see it going into retirement; becoming something people can find if they really want to and search hard enough, but something which I will move away from in order to let it grow old gracefully, and hopefully relatively unnoticed. If that happens I may start another blog elsewhere but it would be v. different from this. I have thought of putting a private setting on this blog but have decided against.
On the other hand it could be continuing and if it does I suspect that it will be the window into more of the mad adventures God tends to take me on, which it has documented over the last few years.
The above is all dependent on whether a "yes" or a "no" has been discerned by the Connexional Selection Committee. I honestly have no idea which it might be; but I can say I feel at peace whatever their decision is. During this week I spent a highly intensive 24 hours sharing honestly with others and expressing what I needed to as they asked me all the things that they felt were necessary. I approach Wednesday knowing that all that needed to be discussed was - and strangely reassured that however insane my life often seems that I am very sane these days. All I know at the moment is that God is good and that the system used by the Methodist Church to discern whether ordained ministry is the voccation somebody has or not is sound, strong and robust (atleast, that was my experience).
I am not sure what time Wednesday I will post the announcement but it is going to be my main way of communicating with people what the outcome has been. Thanks to all who have supported me in whatever way along the journey.
