Being a Shepherd

I was thinking about what being a Shepherd meant to me as a Salvation Army Officer. The first thought that came into my head was "getting your hands dirty for the sheep". This is something that for me is important. I have not been called to a glamorous life. I also know that I am not called to a comfortable life, but then, not many people have glamorous or comfortable life's.

There are other things that I am thinking through at the minute that I might share at a later date.

Saturday, February 7

It's February already!

As I write this, I cannot believe that we are in February. I am never really sure how to spell the month, and it has always been one of those months that not much really happens in. Christmas seems so long ago, and summer is still a long way off, but the month still happens anyway. Having said that, my wedding anniversary is in February, so there is cause for celebration within the month.

It has been nearly a year since appointments day when we found out where we would be living after my commissioning, and we have been here for 6 months. I would never have imagined that ministry would be like it is, but God has remained faithful. It is definitely a partnership as Bram and I rely on God to lead us through the next phase in His work here in Welwyn Garden City and in Hatfield.
