I surprised myself today, because when push came to shove, when many tasks and duties called for my attention and I had to prioritise, I chose to give priority to the local and pastoral, rather than the national and visionary...
I am constantly challenged to hold these two in tension, and often live with guilt, but not today... and in making the choice stood up to folk who at one time would have easily intimidated me!
God it seems has been quietly at work, confirming my call.... and yet I still surprised myself!
