It's Been a While!

I didn't realise just how long a while it's been.

It's been a time of challenge,
joys and sorrows.

It's been a time of waiting and watching,
abiding and listening.

It's been a time of conflict.
Relationships - if they ever were - have been broken.
But new and more solid relationships have been forged.

It's been a time of growth.

Now it's a time of new opportunities,
new challenges,
refreshed hope.

And through it all, Christ is the constant, come what may.


"Forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, I press on towards the goal for the prize of the heavenly call of God in Christ Jesus."
Philippians 3: 13b-14
