This will be my final post from Cebu, but God willing not the last one ever, I’m hoping to keep the Blog going back in Jolly England. The suitcases are packed, the kids are saying their last goodbyes, the car has been sold, and in a few hours friends from church will come and take us to the airport for our flight back to the UK. 3 years have gone so fast, and yet at times so slowly. I’ve been trying to write a reflective post for over the last week or so, but the words wouldn’t come, I guess you need some time and space to do that kind of thing properly. At the moment all I can think to say is that we are glad we came; God definately called us here, and now it is time for us to move on, but we will never forget this place. We plan to come back when we can, and are gratefully to all who have shared their lives with us here.
The plan is back to the UK overnight, a few days with family, and then a holiday and then a move upto our new home in Nottingham where I will be Priest in Charge – St Giles West Bridgford. Looking forward to it.
Don’t expect any more blogging for a while!
So you’re going to West Bridgford, nice part of Nottingham (but it does neighbour the Meadows). Down by the river, handy for the cricket and within walking distance of the city centre. My mate Heidi lived there after university and I like the area.
I hope you settle in well.
Look forward to having you back in England! Will pray for safe travels and that you are able to rest with family etc before starting out on the next stage of the adventure!
Love the Rutters x
Had a shufties at the blurb on the new place. Looks like you’ll be busy, will pray.
We do hope he’ll be busy! And The Meadows is a great area! I loved living there for three years before crossing the great divide! The cricket is not going brilliantly yet this year so your prayers for that would be good too! Ta!
