Lately, or I should say, more and
more, I’m thinking about getting back to my home faith community. And of
course, what I should be doing as a deacon in my home faith community.
I may be
getting ahead of the game I suppose but I’m not trying to get a “jump” on
things; I’m only reacting in a normal and natural way to what is rising in my
heart.
I think in this respect my “internship” has been
very good. It has been a good time for reflection.
I am in an “in-between”
time.
I am immersed in a new and different faith community with no position,
knowing that it will be temporary.
It is a waiting time.
It is a time for
listening.
Though I do feel called to Austin and to Christ Church I may hear
otherwise. I want to be open. I want to hear what the Spirit is saying.
That
was an important aspect of the “internship”; to take me out of my familiar
surroundings, to see a different expression of the same faith, and to expect
the Holy Spirit to speak still.
