Unemployed

Yesterday was my last day in the working world - and as such i hope i will have more chance to update this blog. Wanting to get of to a good start - here i am. I have handed back my car keys, and said good bye to 8am-7pm work - well until i am ordained and then I am sure the hours will be far longer.

As I am going to be out of work, I am going to be a student! Yes indeed for the first time since i was 15 i am going to study full time. I have an interview at Cambridge next week, and am keeping my fingers crossed that i will get in. I have very mixed feelings - very sad to have left - but very excited about studying..

I am going to hit the books for a bit but honestly will try to keep you all posted, thanks as ever for the prayers and support

As requested..

Light

I am sorry for my silence. I have retreated for a while into darkness, but
it seems light is appearing.

Trying to remember where you are up to in the tale of my life :

I am bankrupt

I am going to be redundent as of the end of May

Life has looked a little dark - well very dark if truth be known. But..and
there is a but..there is hope, i may be able to transfer my training to
full time residential. I am applying for funding to spend the next two
years of my life as a student - the very thought of spending a portion of
my life where my only responsabilitys will be to learn, to study, and of
course more important still - to be a father to do my daughter is a thought
that electrifys me - the knowladge that it may not happen equilly teriffys
me.

I havent blogged much as there has seemed so little to say. When the bank
accounts where frozen i thought we would have a new account within a week
or two - it has taken six weeks. In that time we have lived hand to mouth -
or rather hand to friends. We have been provided for though - in moments
when we thought that we wouldnt get through people have stepped in, and I
thank God for that.

Currently i am working long hours - slipping behind in my studies - and the
pressure at work seems to be getting to be notched up each day.

Thank you as ever for your prayers, and sorry for neglecting you

Yours as ever

The Broken Man
