Pause For Thought

Pause For Thought
Matt Woodcock, Church of England Pioneer Minister and Mission Supporter in the Diocese of York:聽
Well, Zoe, I鈥檝e reluctantly pulled my head out of the sand lately and accepted a distressing fact. Our twin daughters - my precious little girls - are fast becoming little women. I鈥檓 struggling with it. I want my babies back. They finally returned to school this week after nearly six months. Not that I got to enjoy the moment. I鈥檓 far too embarrassing to be acknowledged in public with them these days. Those lovely times of 鈥榟igh-fives鈥� and goodbye cuddles in the playground are over. I get a whispered 鈥榳ill you go now - our friends might see you鈥� - if I鈥檓 lucky.聽
And I鈥檓 still recovering from the other night. It was like a heartbreaking scene from 鈥楾oy Story鈥�. Tucking them in as normal, I noticed one of the girls wasn鈥檛 clutching her beloved fluffy giraffe, Alfie. The Alfie that鈥檚 watched over her since she was three days old. That she鈥檚 cuddled, chewed, dried tears on and transported to all manner of imaginary worlds. 鈥業 don鈥檛 need him now, daddy,鈥� she told me. 鈥業鈥檓 not a baby anymore.鈥� Well, I鈥檝e since rescued Alfie from the charity shop bag. My nickname is 鈥榃oody鈥� after all. But the truth is, I鈥檓 quite scared about my girls growing up. About letting go of them a bit and embracing their new-found maturity, independence and love of crop tops. I still want to wrap them in cotton wool. Try to shield them from life鈥檚 harsher realities. And yet deep down I know that鈥檚 not healthy. It鈥檚 born out of worry and fear.聽
Over the years I鈥檝e learnt that facing up to my deepest fears - be it over my family, work, or relationships - is never easy, but nearly always liberating. A Christian friend got me into the helpful habit of writing them down and offering them to God in quiet prayer. So much of my faith is about seeking to trust that all will be well. To live with a hopeful optimism and letting go of all that causes inner dread. This new school year will certainly put that to the test. I know I have more cotton wool to unwrap from those little women of ours. But I will be holding onto Alfie, Zoe. I suspect he may still be needed from time to time.
