God spoke to me about 2025 through an origami star

‘A sense of God’s time, and of God’s hand on our lives, whether we are deadline driven, locked into caring, or folding paper, is something we can cultivate this new year,’ says Rosemary Hector.

I decided an origami star would be the very thing for a New Year decoration. The first challenge – to make a pentagon from a piece of stiff paper. Where was the protractor? An angle of 72 degrees is hard to measure, especially on my waxy paper, bought years ago before I became squeamish about waste. The paper had been rolled and wouldn’t lie flat – an added complication.
