A significant week

Most weeks seem to me follow the same old pattern of work, sleep, food, laughing, church, meetings and maybe the odd eventful or exciting thing.

But this week two events are happening which may in the future alter the life of Mr & Mrs B. The events themselves may not be that significant when they occur but feel significant contemplating them. On Tuesday Mr B is going to ring Lancashire Constabulary to apply for an application form to leave teaching and join the police. On Thursday I'm going to have my first meeting with a vocations advisor to consider my future in Christian ministry.

Both events are new, challenging and also exciting. As well as scary. It's at times like this I'm very grateful to be a Christian, at the start of a significant week where Mr B and I are setting off on a path not before travelled, we go knowing that there is One who has prepared the path for us, who will hold our hands and guide us as we go down the path and who knows what's at the end.
Here's to a significant week!

The Creative resolution

I just remembered I had 4 resolutions and I haven't mentioned my being creative resolution: in a word I haven't!!!

Bother not doing at all well am I?

Perhaps I should have made my resolutions more achievable like:
watch lots of Ally McBeal on DVD
check my facebook regularly
clean my house often
declutter my study
teach children for five days a week
enjoy the new series of Grand Designs on TV
Get annoyed at the people on superskinny versus supersize (don't you just love the term 'supersize'?)
Go to Church every Sunday

All of which I've done - easily!!!

2 months 1 resolution!!

Well it's almost the end of Feb half term and I have to say I'm proud of myself for arranging and spending some good quality time with some friends this week. I've seen people from uni and my old place of work and eaten lots of nice yummy food. So that's one resolution going well.

As for the other two... I brought home a ton of work and have done it all and I still can't fit in my trousers!!! Ha ha. I'm considering giving up chocolate for lent as the next drastic step. I've got two days to decide so will have a think.
