Andy B took Jo for her return trip to the dentist, but while Andy and Jo share many traits and interests, one thing Jo does REALLY well, is not worrying about things she either has no control over, or things that haven’t yet come to pass.

With a hyper-sensitivity to needles, Andy would have been worrying for two weeks straight, letting the anxiety grow, thinking through the various things that could go wrong. Positive side of that trait, is the ability to read ahead, see the problems before they happen and prevent them – which makes event planning really easy.

But much like that rocking chair, how much time have we lost, or energy spent, getting busy with action on that rocking chair, until we start t feel seasick from all that rocking, but making absolutely no progress.

Worry does that to us. While it is great to be able to plan ahead, we can’t know the future, as scripture reminds us repeatedly, so worrying about future events, that haven’t happened is utterly pointless.

While on route to the dentist, Andy and Jo received a phone call that unfortunately, the crown that had been ordered fro Jo’s tooth had not yet arrived, so the dentist was having to call, to cancel the appointment.

Jo, being ever Jo, wasn’t phased, at all! As she pointed out to Andy, she had another 15 minutes before she had to think about what the dentist was going to do.

But how often do we lost inordinate amounts of time, or expending endless amount of emotional, or mental energy, preparing ourselves – and exhausting ourselves - for things that don’t even come to pass.

Much like that rocking chair, where is God asking you to get off, stand up, and start walking – rather than simply sitting and worrying?

Where is God asking you to live, instead of waiting for a future date when living may be more convenient?

Just a thought…
