I think that question is an excellent one, 'what happened next?' in the story of the prodigal son. It is left hanging rather in that we don't know how the older brother reacts to his father's last talk with him. I like to think he turns back to his father and sees how much he is loved. I do so wish I could have seen those dramas! :-) <br /><br />Things are much better now for me. I had a week of wobbling a bit about things on the job front but God is faithful. WIthin days of my wobble I was offered 3 months full time work on a locum basis. I love working at the GP surgery I work at now. I have been there since last summer on a part time, locum basis but am now on 3 months of full time locum work with a review of my hours after that. I know it is where I am meant to be at the moment. <br /><br />God bless you in your walk with Him. Remember each day how very very deeply you are loved by our Father in heaven.

I have continue to think about it and how you're doing. I was sorry to read in your blog that things had gotten tough for you for a while but, very happy to read that you now have a full-time job. Remembering what you said about taking that leap of faith and with the help of my weekly Christian counselling, I wake each day and make a simple choice. Today, I will place my identity in Christ. Some days, it's tougher than others but, defying the scars of my brethren upbringing, I am going with it being a daily choice and a daily battle. I often ask of the story of the prodigal son, 'What happened next?'. I was chaplain to a Boys' Brigade camp a few years ago, and after looking at the story of the prodigal son all week, I thought for the last evening, I'd get each tent to perform a drama entitled 'What Happened Next?'. This revealed their grasp of the original story with hilarious results. Strangely, the older brother seemed to feature far more in the sequels and would now be serving life at one of Her Majesty's time-shares.. Being in the 'What happened next?' chapter of my faith journey has been tough but, God has been faithful. His faithfulness landed a magazine article, on you and your book, in my lap at just the right time. Your blog would make another another good book too, I'm sure.
