I am a Minister doing supply with the Pulse Team. I have been a musician,
worked in corporate roles and then came into Ministry through formation and
now have been ordained for 6 and a bit years. I ‘work out’ and am also a
qualified Personal Trainer, which I get to do for fun outside of the Church,
mostly.
Lent is a time of turning towards something other than ourselves.
A time of remembering who we are in God’s eyes and what we need to do to be part of God’s Story in the future.
A time to be present for people who are not normally ‘at our table”.
The psalmist says, “We are remembered by God according to our love”.
Moving through this Epiphany we need to be looking for the signs that God has for us for this new year.
The fishermen that Jesus called to follow him, knew what it was like to pull fish from the chaos of the sea.
What does it mean to pull people from the chaos of their lives, the storms around them, the deep blue of the seas they are in and bring them into the order of God. ‘Called to follow’ equals ‘Call to love’ (even when we want to resist).
