It's good to be back.

I recently labelled all 600-odd of my posts.  Doing this reminded me of things I'd written in the past.

What struck me from my writing 12 months ago was the number of things I was mourning the loss of as we moved away.  A church I fitted in, friends I loved, a coffee-shop home group, playing piano in worship bands, a lovely house and a mental plan regarding where I will send my children to kindy and school.

Amazing really.  We now have a great house in an awesome location, a church we love so much that we became members after 6 months there, a new coffee-shop home group, a great kindy and school to send my kids to and  (buckle up!) tomorrow I am playing piano in the worship band for the first time!

At the rehearsal today, my soul went "Aaaaaahh!  It's good to be back!"

At my last church I played in front of up to 200 people.  Tomorrow it will be in front of 800 to 1000.  And I'm doing a solo for communion.  Oo wow.  Goodness.

I'm just remembering to thank God for the opportunities He has opened up for me here.

Thankyou also to YOU my readers who stuck by me through the dark and grumpy days.  You encouraged me so much, and reminded me that through blogging I've contacted many real and wonderful people who are able to offer support and love.

Thankyou.  That's all I've got for tonight.  Thankyou!
