   Proactive Planning
The church service was completely off the rails tonight. In a completely good way.

There was all sorts going off all at once, and God could be felt through the whole time- a rare thing in even the most super-spiritual churches in England.

Which was all very good, but it all really led up to one moment of released, after everything had finished but the core group who hung around for more ministry. I was in the larger group which left at that point, as people hanging around to chat were encouraged to do so outside on this occasion.

So I was outside, and Hazel walks out. As a matter of fact, that was the point I had been waiting for. I walked over to her as quickly as I could through the mass of people (which wasn't so much big but condensed) and said hi.

For a good minute or two I broached some trivial matters- the church service we'd just been in, and general chit chat. Feeling as though this conversation was going no-where that I wanted it to, and watching an opportunity slip by, the words "actually I was wondering.. if you'd like to go out at some point" just kind of came out.

She said yes, as long as we could do it as friends (which is good- it'd have been weird to try and jump into something too deep, too quickly). But the main point is that she said yes. It's not that big a deal, other than the tremendous release from feelings that I really couldn't go through with it.

Already I can feel the corruptor whispering in my ear "nothing will come of it"; "she's just letting you down gently" and countless other doubts. Which may well be true, but I can't know that, and the negative effect that they have can't possibly be from God: they aren't worth listening to in that case.

Aye, things are good. Future is uncertain- but I know where I'll be living next year now, with a reasonable degree of certainty- I'll probably be moving in with Daniel, the guy I'm accountable to within St. Tom's.

...

And on top of all that.. aren't U2 just fantastic?
