Exactly where I am meant to be

Exactly where I am meant to be.

Sometimes in life you just know you are where you’re meant to be. I have had a couple of those moments lately. My dad paid me a visit on a walk with a colleague. He sent me a yellow rose in full bloom to let me know he still loves me. And that he is ok. I felt that. I also took it as tacit approval of my current life choice? Then I went to a school which is very dear to my heart. Bacon’s college. What did I see there ? John 10:10 plastered all over the reception. Life and life in all its fullness is my personal motto. And so it inspired me that I am exactly where I should be. Working with young people. On the frontline. It made me pensive.

I started thinking how I could work with the young people once a month, or something. I can’t just let go completely. It would be an end to of an era. And actually maybe I don’t want it to end. It gives me so much joy. I need to find a way of making it work with my current life.

But for now. I’m listening to Sam Cooke, my father’s favourite musician, and I know only one thing.

I’m exactly where I am meant to be

Grace and courage.
