It sounds like the title of a song...maybe I could commission it, maybe it has been written already...but today it happened.
This morning I had the real pleasure of talking at 2 services in St. Helen's Cliffe. Part of my job means that the 1st Sunday of every month I get to go to different churches in the deanery ( anyone who will have me basically!) We were thinking about Education Sunday and Candlemas!
I was feeling really quite nervous about today, not because I was visiting a different church, not because I was worried so much about the subject although it had been playing on my mind, but because I used to work with the headteacher of the local primary school.
It is really weird when things from different aspects of your life come together. Viv was my partner teacher when I was an NQT someone I really respected and admired and I just didn't want to show myself up/ let myself down/ distract from the message I was giving... Nervous beyond believe!!
Today though was amazing, beyond my wildest dreams. It was so wonderful to see Viv and her husband Chris again, it was lovely to be in a place that was so relaxed not so formal and full of life and worship. It was so lovely to be able to share in something I am so passionate about with others and most of all reconnect with Viv.
Having always moved around with dad's work I thought I had gotten used to having people come and go in my life but I'm not sure I ever will. I love people, I love the friends I have made along the way but there are so many I miss. It can be such a lonely job and makes me appreciate the friends I have to all those who have been in and are a part of my life....thank you one and all x
