I am at a slightly odd point in my job. Really, all that is left to do at the moment is get on and start things. I have finished my report summing up the last 4 months research, I have written an initial plan of how small group community action could work, and I have looked into various courses and classes, some debt counselling options. I have pulled together resources that can be used by myself and by small group leaders for inspiration and mobilisation. And all of a sudden I feel at a bit of a loose end. What to do now? We are still waiting on getting the hall finished and the big launch - once that is done there will be many more options for us. I guess it's because we are at a point, as a church, where things aren't and can't be just left up to me. More discussions need to be had and decisions need to be made before we can really press forwards. For all that I feel at a temporary standstill, it's exciting. It finally feels like we are on the edge of something. We are so close. I just want to get started!
Not that I want you to be under the illusion that I am simply sat in the office twiddling my thumbs. While it may be difficult to resist the procrastination of facebook and twitter, there are still various things to be getting on with it. I guess it just feels bitty, and I don't like bits!
One thing I am working on is an essay. The idea is that around April/May time I will present it to the church (or whoever in the church would like to hear it). I don't have a title yet, but I am looking at Israel and how they cared for their own community, and also the surrounding community, whilst displaying God's glory. I'm not going to pretend to know much about it yet, but New College library promises some good books, and it has only been 8 months since I finished my degree, so I can't have totally forgotten how to be academically minded...right?
