Sally at RevGals writes, "It has been a difficult week here in Dowham Market, and yet in the sadness there have been signs of real hope, young people, often criticised have shown us how caring and amazing they are. It has also been a strange week; it snowed for almost the first time this winter, and yet many of the spring bulbs are blooming, and the trees are blossoming!
I believe that if we look carefully we can see signs of hope all around us.... as for signs of spring... well you tell me....
Bluebells in my garden, before the snow!"
What have you seen/ heard this week that was a :
1. Sign of hope?
Volunteers stepping forward for some exciting programs
2. An unexpected word of light in a dark place?
I was finally able to connect with a friend/colleague in person. We've been trying for a month but weather and other circumstances were preventing it. So, meeting was somewhat expected, but I didn't expect it to be so meaningful!
3. A sign of spring?
We can actually see some grass amidst the snow? I'm aching for more!!
4. Challenging/ surprising?
Right now, it feels like every piece of my job (and it feels like a job, not a call or ministry at the moment) is challenging--mostly though the emotional toll working with the other pastor is taking on me.
5. Share a hope for the coming week/month/year....
Week ~ get prepared for Holy Week
Month ~ get through Holy Week without too much exhaustion and then recover
Year ~ a relatively easy delivery of a healthy baby in June and that I'll be a good mom

Oh I hear you on the waiting for the grass! Your job does sound very challenging right now! Hang in there.
You'll *definitely* be a good mom.
