It has been an interesting time since my return from Moldova. The trip was good, the ministry was good. The heartache shock and loss of Mike's death back home, I am only coming to terms with now. Now that I have time to think, to walk on the beach and ponder. To realise all that has happened, to realise the implications for everyone, to realise the implications for me.
Sunday was good and fun, the show in the army base, for kids. It makes a first, when the congregation did not bother to go to church, they all came to Sunday school and the puppet show instead, I almost felt sorry for the Chaplain. The kids listened, the parents listened. It is a lonely hard life for them, so isolated and so alone at times. To share the answer was quite the privilege, I am looking forward to our next visit. For these are the people we most enjoy doing programs for.
All that has happened is helping to put things into perspective for me, forcing me to make the hard choices I have been putting of. I no longer have Mike to go to for advice, I have to just stand up and do what I think is right. It is making me take risk's in areas where I have just waited patiently for years now. Will the risk pay of, time will tell, I can not hang around really just waiting on it, waiting for time to redeem past mistakes.
