Hmmmmm......

Tomorrow it will be 6 years since I, along with 4 other girls, reaffirmed my baptism vows.  Nancy had the idea to go over the beach after church just to think on that for a while.  So three of us went over.

Such a lot has happened since then in my life.  I've become a single parent; turned 40; changed jobs; Mam & Dad's health has really deteriorated; I've completed a Living Theology Today course; been really involved in the community church where I worshipped; moved to another church for a while (and did a lot of learning & attitude changing while there); said adieu to some very dear friends who've left the country; and am now getting ready to move back to the church where my walk with God all started - to where I was baptised as a child, made my commitment to Christ, got confirmed there, grew up there, got married there, served there as Sunday school teacher and youth worker as well as singing in the choir there as a child.  I'm not going to be 'Cathy's daughter' or 'Glenn's wife'. I'm going to be me. I'm going to be Lynda.

Sadly we lost one of our little quintet that got dunked in the surprisingly warm North Sea that day.  Lisa passed away earlier this year. Nancy, Steph & I thought about her as we stood on the beach this afternoon.  They too have seen many changes over the last 6 years, as has Pam, who couldn't make it today.

Life is always changing, moving on, leaving things behind & embracing new.......we can choose to fight against it or go with the flow.  I, for one, intend to dance wherever my Makers melody takes me...........  :-)
