I went to the Chrism Eucharist today in the Cathedral. I felt a real sense of God's presence and power, and a true yearning to ordained ministry. I came out of the service and said to DH I think I need to talk to A (Parish priest) and the DDO!
Yikes.
I don't want to be too public about it at the moment. I am still trying to ascertain what this really means (and talk about it without bursting into tears), and I have yet to have a proper chat to A about it (although I sprung it on him after the service in the same way I did with DH).
I say sprung, but really it doesn't feel too much of a supprise to me, before DH went to theological college I remember wondering about ministry with our priest then. I felt that the timing was completely wrong to persue it at that stage anyway. I was content to follow my DH's journey. I also felt that if God wanted me he would make it impossible for me to avoid it!
It's impossible to avoid now.
Yikes!
Just wanted to say, in a fairly (some folk will recognise who this may be) incognito way, it all out loud.
I would be at church at the watch now BTW, but I am on babysitting duty.
