Our Journey

We knew progress was slow, but we seem to be stuck in delays at the moment. Not only was Luke's interview cancelled, but the 2nd training day was also cancelled due to snow! Some of the other applicants and trainers were comming from London area, so they decided it was best not to travel. The only problem was we were already booked into our hotel in Oxford and out having an evening meal when we got a call explaining the situation!
We hadn't even got our food, so after eating, travelling back to the hotel and getting intouch with work it was late and the snow wasn't far behind. We made the decision to stay the night in Oxford and travel in the light rather than arrive home in the early hours. This meant we still had our time off from school, and may need to request another day to attend the rescheduled meeting. It has been arranged for 25th Feb, a week after half term.

Catherine is hoping to have her individual interview tomorrow, but there is more snow forcast so we shall see what happens! She has done her paperwork for the meeting.6 pages! 2000 words! It was hard work and felt pretty personal, but we have to keep reminding ourselves they are doing it for the child. If we forget that we could be quite bothered by it all. It seems unfair that we have to prove so much, and justify every decision and action, but we have to go with it and trust God in the process.

Will let you know what happens next, and hope the snow isn't causing you as much trouble!
