I think God laughed at me yesterday. No, actually he laughed with me!

I was travelling to Waltham Forest YFC to meet with the newly appointed team leader, Ruth, to see how things were going and what WFYFC are up to. On my way there I heard the traffic news and is was not good at the Dartford tunnel – ok I thought I know a new short cut which gets me staright to the entrance. That worked.

I then heard that the M11 was solid into London. Just as I was thinking if there was alternative, my GPS routefinder brought me in on A13 instead! I was not even travelling on the M11! For some reason I thought came in last time on M11, this time A13 – and I was getting stressd at the thought of being late – in fact I was early.

I just pictured God sitting there saying ‘Look there he goes again, getting all worried and there really is no need – he’s worrying about stuff that really does not have an affect on him’.

How much of our stress and worry is caused by stuff that really we do not need to be worrying about? It seems to me that a lot of the time we take on responsibility, when really the responsibility lies with God. We worry when there is not even stuff to worry about!

I had a great morning meeting with Ruth. I then went on to Glory House to meet with Pastor Jonathan in the afternoon, regarding how we might work in partnership in Newham. I think some really creative stuff could happen here and I look forward to seeing what God has planned. I think we might see some pretty exciting stuff happen here.

Anyway – I’m not goig to worry about it – because I’m leaving that to God!
