Letting Go
Been thinking about letting go and how hard it can be to give stuff up.
During the last few months there have been quite a lot of changes - my role changing, leaving Back to Reality etc., Suzie's job change, about to move.
Sometimes it is easier to look back than forward, and to try and keep hold of stuff, keep involved and informed about stuff which is no longer the focus. Maybe a desire to go back to the familiarity of Egypt?
Been also reflecting on the verse "restore to me the joy of your salvation" (Psalm 51) and how much the hassle of "ministry" and church and all that goes with, and the desire to change and be mission etc., can make us lose our joy and our wonder at the gospel.
