I left the house this morning at 5.30 to meet Sharon, a fellow fantastic YFC worker, in Maidstone. From there Sharon drove to Chawn Christian Centre in Stourbridge, where we had our team meeting.

The drive along the M25, and up the M40 were very different. I noticed the natural beauty of our landscape as the sun slowly rose. It was amazing. Usually when I drive I notice just the road and the cars in front and behind, for obvious reasons, so to see the beauty around was quite amazing.

The whole journey reminded me again that, if we allow ourelves to look, the beauty and presence of God in our world is so flipping obvious! I looked and wondered how on earth I had ever forgot or not noticed how amazing God’s creation is.

At this time of year, we think about God entering his creation and the sacrifice that must have been. After today I must admit I have started to wonder whether our intuitive God was actually dying (literally?!) to experience his fantastic creation for himself as it was intended – for man.
