super happiness high

Do you know what it feels like to be on a super happiness high? I do, at least thats what I call the feeling I have had for the past 24 hours. I want to be a priest or do something important in ministry anyway… I told my mom this, well I told her that someone else thinks i should, then I said “And it’s not like I’ve never thought about it”, so I’d say that amounts to telling her, for now. She told me that it’s not the first time she’s heard of someone seeing that in me. I had to smack her on the arm with my new book “Have a little faith” by Mitch Albom before she would tell me who had said what. Before I tell you who, maybe I should say that the person who first voiced that they saw me in ministry, and by voiced I mean actually TO me, was Grayhame Bowcott. Seminary student and mentor to me, he told me that I would be good for that kind of work. I believed him, like I said to my mom, it’s not like I had NEVER thought about it, after a while though I started to think, well Gray has only seen me at synod, when my spark turns to a roaring flame, when I’m in what some would call a spiritual high. I started to have doubts about whether I would really be good for ministry type work. Going back to what my mom told me: Tom Wilson, someone I never thought had taken any particular notice of me, former pastor, had told my mom that if any of us three (us being me, my sister, and my brother) were to go into ministry that he’d bet it would be me. Tom Wilson who saw me everywhere EXCEPT synod, a man who has seen me through thick and thin, good moods and bad, a man who saw me grow up… Tom Wilson thought that I’d be good for ministry. In the days I knew Tom, I didn’t really think about going into ministry too much, so it can’t have been him seeing that, no he saw me: the person.

This new news has lifted me higher than any cloud in the sky, now I know that I’m meant to go somewhere and make a difference, I know that I’m meant to do something in this world and in this life.

Till next time
