awaiting the big day
Thanks for all the encouraging words from others in a similar situation, its good to know there are alot of us awaiting decisons on where we are going to be spending the next five years. As a probationers wife I wait the longest - Jan next year.
This Wednesday Mr Benny Diction and I are going to meet the college principle to talk about stationing. What do I say? There is part of me which wants to say that of course the church must send Mr Benny Diction to the church they think is most suitable regardless of where in the country it is, even if this means splitting the family while our son finishes his GCSE’s. Then there is the small voice that says thats not what you really want is it - what you really want is to stay near to where we are now so we can stay together and I can carry on with the job I love for another 5 years.
As a dear friend says whose husband works for a large multinational and who has been an expat for 15 years God is bigger that any multinational. I also need to remember that he is also bigger than the Methodist Church and that he will never put me in a situation that is beyond me, even if in my down moments splitting the family for 9 months seems one of the biggest hurdles I have ever had to face.

Be true to yourselves. You are meant to have your say and be happy. would you be happy and be able to support your husband if you are split up? In his first appointment he will need you happy and positive to help keep him happy and positive. Stick to what you know is right for all of you. God is with you!
