Adventure into the unknown

Monday, May 08, 2006

The hardest thing about being in limbo, is not being able to establish new grounds for life long friendships. One of the hardest things about moving to West Sussex, is starting a new, we know a few people down there, and visiting the Point, every few weeks, have confirmed that this is right place for us, but we are not taking our nearest and dearest with us. Although I am confident that we will manitain a strong friendship over a distance, I cannot help but feel that things will alter. Already we are seeing how friends, are moving into new friendships and how things have already changed. It's a natural course, but hard to adjust to. Mr & Mrs M and CS have been so constant, we love their way of making us feel, like this is no big deal, they'll still be around. Ten/Eleven years of living 'just around the corner', has an impact of losing the geographical distance. Also it didn't help that Rich jested about what if we don't like people down there...not the case as everyone seems lovely and genuine, but thoughts like these do cross our minds!

At the point yesterday, I couldn't help but observe the way that people took time out of their agendas to make someone else feel at home, feel like they belong, feel welcomed. There is something inside of me that knows that this will be a time of discipleship, we have just ordered the LICC imagine DVD, and hope to watch it over the next couple of weeks. For a long time it's been our time, but after a long and difficult road, I have this conviction that it's now God's time.
