Progress

Hello again. I progress. Slowly it is true but none the less surely. I feel a bit at the moment as if I were in limbo. I have not done my trial service yet but I am well through unit 5 in fact I have read it twice in all and more than that in part. I have made a start on the assignment associated with it and I have not had a tutorial on it yet. But I can't keep hanging on reading the same bits over and over again. I will have moved on to unit 6 but the rest of the process won't have. This is a good way of keeping people grounded and it gives plenty of time for thought, but I could move on more swiftly and do feel that I am just hanging about waiting for other things to happen.

However I have a job again now so I expect that I shall slow down from August on as that is when my job starts. It is the same job I had before I had my operations. Someone left and they have offered me the position which is fantastic.

My trial service is more or less finished. I do not want to get it too set as I need to be aware of developments in the news to include in prayers. I have however been practicing every day to get away from the page if I can. I practice by keeping my finger where I have got to, saying as much as I can remember then looking down and moving my finger to where I have got to next. Sounds very difficult but is not once you get used to it. This so that I don't forget bits at the end of paragraphs, which is easy to do. Sometimes I forget what I have to say next and there is a long pause while I think what it is. My neighbours must think I have gone bonkers as they must hear me talking to myself loudly every day! I had one piece of good news today and that is that a friend from church will be playing the organ at the service.


I hope by next week to have some sort of order worked out for future study which should take into account my swift progress through the units thus far.
