Interviews and evensong

the day started at 3 am when I woke up with an extremely sore throat and a nose running for England! So I was to be found at 3:10 sitting in bed drinking a lemsip and playing trivial pursuit on my iphone!

At 8.30 I was in the office logging on the computer for a group who were in my department and then back home to pick my card up so I could buy food for our applicant day. Today we had two applicants and as always it is great to meet potential students and to listen to the stories as to why they want to come on the course. Today one young person was convinced we wouldn't want her and yet she was great - a young catholic woman from N Ireland who has worked with people from both 'sides' and other faiths! awesome!

I was then just about to drive out to go home and a colleague came by who was on his way to evensong so I went along with him. It was good to be there again and realise that in 5 months that is where I will be working albeit as an NSM. What a privilege and yet a scary prospect - but I do know that is what I am supposed to be doing, regardless of what someone else thinks.

Let's face it Dot, If we took notice of what a sizeable portion of the church thought about Women's Ordination, we wouldn't be at this point at all! And yes, in my opinion (humble or otherwise) God is so defintely at work in your placement! Keep on, keeping on...you're nearly there!

why would you say God is definitely at work in my placement? I mean I know God is, but why 'so' definitely?
