Wide Awake

Woke up around 2 a.m. with Oliver's tutor group for next term going round my head. Everyone he knows or meets seems to be in another group. I did the usual thing of thanking God for it, whatever it was hard or easy, but it would not go away. After ages I realised God was trying to say something, so asked and at once recalled the verse, 'I know the plans I have for you. Plans to prosper'. It seems God wanted me to know the future was all in his hands. Frankly I'm rather glad of that. Trying to plan through the implication of ordination for things like salary, home and schools are well beyond me. It seems to me at the moment that we should jump ship from teaching and go into full time ministry at the end of training, but how that will work for the family I have no idea!
