next year again!

Its been a busy few days but good! Yesterday I met with someone from Formation in Ministry who sorts out training! It was a really good meeting and I felt positive about it! Having realised last week that conversations had been happening about America without me really being aware I wanted to talk through all the options! Any way- the choices for next year have been narrowed down considerably at the moment. With only 3 full time training institutions in the UK and one of them having been ruled out- we are down to 2 real possibilities in the UK! So am waiting to hear from a College principal to go and talk further about training with that particular training institution! Although the final decision is not made till the 20th May when the training allocations panel meet.

Something I do really feel at the minute is I'd quite like some stability for a bit! Having been in Lancaster last year, London this and another next- the States would mean yet another and back to Cambridge! Then God willing another the following year when I am due to be stationed. I am not quite sure that I want all of my training to be in year blocks- which aren't actually years- september- may! I am not focussed here at present- am being distracted by next year! I thus feel it would help to be in one place for a couple of years to at least be focussed or a year before looking at stationing! However I haven't ruled out the states yet!

So its all go! Am off to Guy Chester Centre tommorow for one of our weekends there! Saturday's are quiet days! So I'm hoping for some space to pray and reflect about the decisions! Am home late on Saturday afternoon for a big family party on Saturday night! Then back to London on Sunday night! Time is going really quickly at the moment! I'm half way through my time here now!
