The God who has led us thus far will lead us on.

Trepidation, Excitement.  It’s not ‘assessed’, but kind of is, because people are people.  I’ve had some outstanding input, feedback, pearls of wisdom, advice, guidance, thoughts and lists…It probably could all be summed up in one phrase ‘be you’.

I remain wholly committed and utterly humbled by the efforts of so many. People are praying for me, that’s amazing.

I’m not going to fake my way through any of this – I am who I am.  Now, that’s not to say that for retreat I shouldn’t shift my MO.  Naturally, folk have remarked upon me being in teaching or church-leading mode.  That cannot be the default here; I must be in receive mode. There is so much to learn and listen to and hear from.  Not least to seek clarity of God’s call.

A few thoughts have sprung to mind as I’ve been praying and preparing.
