I am certain that it will be a great place to study, train, think and 'be'.Davidhttp://www.wannabepriest.org.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6356363460965043698.post-24350385112801998962009-08-23T20:08:28.181+01:002009-08-23T20:08:28.181+01:00oh absolutely - it's an exciting time, and i h...oh absolutely - it's an exciting time, and i have no doubt that it'll be a fab time.<br /><br />i think the point for me is that it is better for it to be an 'intentional' (overused word, i know) change/growth. where you choose to be formed by the new place/people, rather than it being a passive experience.<br /><br />perhaps 'choose' is not the right word, as we are formed by our relationships whether we like it or not - maybe it's more about recognising the necessity of change or growth, and the places or points in your life when that is most happening, and having some kind of awareness about it, then there is an element of choice about HOW something affects you, even if the choice is not about IF it affects you.<br /><br />anyway, thanks - and i'll definitely appreciate the prayers :)Jody Stowellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15534042687275254272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6356363460965043698.post-7647685762963692302009-08-23T19:09:29.877+01:002009-08-23T19:09:29.877+01:00you'll still be you, you'll just grow! and...you'll still be you, you'll just grow! and some bits of your personality will strengthen, and some bits might fade into the background a bit. but moving and being here in cambridge and at ridley has been a good experience for me, at least, and i really hope and pray it will be for you, too!Mark Hnoreply@blogger.com
