I don’t think I know anybody who isn’t touched by the current climate in one way or another – jobs under threat, companies struggling to survive, more month than money and a general malaise which isn’t helped by the gloom merchants in the media.
At the moment we are facing uncertain times ourselves – my work isn’t too stable right now and, if I am honest, pay day is often a nervous time until someone manages to check the bank accounts just to make sure we have money there.
In it all we are still believing that God is in control and still has plans and a purpose for us. For example we still believe that we are being called to move to Peterborough at some point, and we both feel it may well be this year. We are also placing our trust, faith and hope in Him – with Mrs H doing better than me most of the time!
Which leads me onto the word SHALOM.
