Development

How things change! Over the years I pursued the idea of ministry,and for many people,it would seem I have wasted alot of years in the pursuit of this dream.many people will understand that this is in fact a vocation,so realising how painful when this is either taken away from you or denied! This is something that has happened to me.It took many years of "testing" my vocation to know where it was going.Ihad thought about in my years of childhood,followed through in teen years and into adulthood of my twenty's! But it was the later 20's that are put on the real path when I began my leg of theological studies.
I eventually became ordained,but the Priesthood was denied to me due to infighting and personality clash that was occuring,so instead of facing a further development in 2008 by being accepted for Priesting,I was dismissed from both the parish I believed I was healping to nurture in the Christian faith,but also,my paid employment as a Chaplain.
Now we heading towards the end 2011,yet an opportunity has come my way through a holy and inspiring Bishop,who through the stangest of sources has led to a conversation discussing my possibility of acceptance for the priesthood-at last was first thought,but following the let downs i have experienced,makes even me doubt this possibility.So with prayer in mind,Ilook forward to this possible opportunity.
Many,if not all of us,suffer the let down that life brings,but we should accept and understand that the Lord is in the driving seat,and Jeremiah states:"I have purpose for you",it is just that the timing can be expected as well as a long time coming,but thank God when it does!
