It wouldn't take much of a conversation with me to realise just how much I was struggling when I arrived. And I talked a lot - thank you to everyone who was patient with me and hugged me and prayed with and for me.

Thank you also for the people who asked me if leaving might be the right thing for me. In some ways, you were right. Today, during Communion I wrote this poem.

I am leaving
Leaving your expectations behind
It was never mine
And it was never God's
So I’m leaving
Leaving the job that you expect
To find the calling I have
But I'm not going
I am staying right here
To be the priest I am called to be.
I cannot be who you want
Because it isn't who you need
And it isn't who I am.
I am leaving
So that I can stay to be your Priest
And you can be my people.

Please pray for me as I go into my meeting with my Archdeacon tomorrow.

Really really loved this. Especially when you sat down under the paschal candle. You so gave me permission to be tired. Tired of church. Tired of pretending. Tired of my mask. Really made me feel like you wanted me to be me while I am here, and to be me when I go home. As acceptable as anyone else. Thank you.
