Last week i was going on about waiting, but this week God has Just given us some many opportunities and has been a real humbling week.
Firstly because last night Anya Grace Shorter was born, amazing, mid wife only just got there. Mum did brill, dad is doing house work and Jess and Caleb are loving their new sister ( Jess offered to and tried to cut her hair this morning!!)
Things on Harold Hill have been great to, youth work has started and i think i going to the opportunity to really get to know the community, I've been give some amazing opportunities to lead some parenting courses. A local pub has asked me to lead their carol service and so it's all go!!
The week however started really sadly with the news that a child in Caleb's year group died of meningitis, and a child Caleb's age was shot with a flare gun on the estate over the weekend, both reminding us of the preciousness of life and of the need for people to find the life going hope that Jesus offers. See a child being born only screams this wonderful and beuitful truth of the hope that Christ brings.
