This afternoon I wrote a list of all the things I need to get done / people to see / emails to respond to / talks to prepare for, for next week. I realised I was starting to get slightly stressed about next week before this week was over! 1/5

In days gone by I would have probably worked tonight, bits of tomorrow and Sunday...hoping to feel better about myself because things were ticked off my list and in the name of ‘productivity’ I was being effective. 2/5

It’s taken me a while but I’m learning, rest really is a weapon, and Jesus really knew when what he was talking about when He said, ‘Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.’ (Matt 6:24) 3/5

So tonight I’m sitting by my firepit with a book, and my daughter with a hot chocolate. Tomorrow I will make pancakes for the family (the only meal I can make!), see some friends, wash the cars and watch the football. 4/5
