For the month of October, I will be away from the Parish of Great Yarmouth on placement in Old Catton. It’s helpful to gain experience of the way that different churches go about things and see new ideas. When I return it will be All Saints and our thoughts will be turning to Remembrance and Advent. Seasons of the year come round quickly and we have to take time to stop and enjoy things while they are happening, rather than rushing on to the next thing. Sometimes in the rush and busyness of life it can feel that problems are huge and insurmountable. There are so many things which demand our time, energy and resources we can start to feel overwhelmed by it all. But Jesus tells us that we have the one resource we need and that is faith. Even faith which is as tiny as a mustard seed could uproot a tree and move it. Faith that God will hear us means that nothing can overwhelm us if we ask for his help and strength.
