I had a very liberating experience yesterday...I had my bra size measured ! I discovered that I have been wearing the wrong size for the last three years (shame, that is the last time I got measured!) NO wonder I have not been feeling that comfortable - but fancy sticking with it for three years (obviously have bought new ones in that time - didn't want you to think I have kept same ones for three years). So obviously it was not that bad, but I just knew something was wrong...I put it down to additional weight and gravity :-)
Anyway after an hour of trial and error and being observed by a complete stranger who kept pulling the straps etc etc, I finally came away with my right size and a couple additions to my wardrobe.....dont want to use the B word too often as I know Graeme Howell in particular will get embarrased as he reads this !
Now...is it feasible that we can be in a ministry "wrong fit" ? I wonder how many of us have felt this or feel it right now - that we are just not quite in the right "ministry fit" ? Please don't take this as an indication that I am feeling in a "wrong fit" at Romford - I am NOT feeling that, far from it .....but the hour in M&S "B" fitting service has made me wonder if it is possible to carry on in a particular ministry, but not quite feeling as Liberated and "close fitted" as we should?
Does God provide a "Fitting Service" ? How willing are we to throw away the wrong fit and pick up the new? How willing are we to allow God to "pull our straps".

I should point out that I'm no prude, however, when you're sat listening to your corps officer and various other female members of the fellowship discussing their undergarments it's a definite "isn't this lovely weather we're having moment?"!! Still, I now at least have a thorough knowledge of that hole in the ceiling at the back of the hall, it was the ONLY place to look!!
I pondered for ages over blogging the bathing suit issue, so I'm so glad more people now feel 'released' (not sure I should use that term!)to do the same.
I HATE bra fitting - I usually end up going with Sarah so there's a cubicle full of people, all pulling in different directions - good invention, but a very strange experience!
One of your last blogs made front page of the Romford Bulletin...I look forward to this coming sunday!
Not sure this blog will hit the bulletin ! I was not quite brave enough to post pictures of the chosen newly fitted bras either :-)
I think you should get a pink one!
Oh, but Ann, come one. I'll make you a deal, you show me yours if I show you mine!
And by all means, get a new pink one, just be aware of what you wear on top!
An HOUR!!Wow, how many did you try on?
I have to add that Hannah was with me , she too got measured and boy has she changed size :-) I feel quite insignficant now !
Pink is always my favourite bra colour - but not on a Sunday of course.
Too much information!! :-)))
