And so if there is anything that I’m going through that can be some kind of encouragement for someone else going through something similar, then great.' Without starting my own blog in this comment slot, I think you have succeeded. I've been reading your blog for around a year now, and I have found it to be encouraging - my personal thing was work, as my contract is ending in September. However, I got a job last week - and like you, I'm returning to my old University town... so I was reading this post with interest!! But it's the insight - other people have the same hopes and fears, and seeing how other people deal with it, but also in a detached way (because apart from my comments you don't know a thing about me) - that's why this blog works. So basically, keep doing what you're doing. I read a couple of other 'Christian' blogs, but they're too conscious somehow. But it's the personal bits that do it for me. Ooh, I'm waffling now! ‘It’s partly why I blog such personal things, too: a recognition that sometimes what is most personal is also most universal.
