LLM Calling

Welcome to the first blog post of LLM Calling.

I have to admit, the title's not what I hoped for but everything that came to mind has already been snapped up by those who got into this blogging thing way before I did. In fact they were probably in use before I even started to accept my calling.

Who am I? Emma (34), wife to Mike and mum to Rachel (nearly 4). In a previous life I was a civil engineering project manager, specialising in value and risk management and facilitation . Now I am a full time mum, part time student, part time volunteer and full time follower of the way God is calling me, right now to become a Licensed Lay Minister.

There are volumes of blogs, books and articles written about calls to become a priest but very few written by those of us who are called to become Licensed Lay Ministers(LLM)/Lay Readers in the Church of England (CofE). So perhaps I can fill a gap, or merely document my journey; that's my aim. But be warned, I am sure there will be a good deal of random stuff along the way.

welcome and thanks for following me on this journey, wherever it takes us.
