Praying Removes Obstacles

 "...pray without ceasing," 1 Thessalonians 5: 17

----

When I woke up, I thanked God for the day and for blessing everyone in the production  I also thanked Him for taking me to the studio and back safely and for making the day go well. I surrendered everything to Him.

I had planned to leave home at 3am to catch a night bus.  At 2.45 am, I checked the arrival times and saw there was a bus due in 5 minutes. As I'm ready, why not leave and catch that bus?

Next door to our flat is a petrol station. The first thing I noticed was a police car. There was also a motor cycle on the ground and a car next to it. Presumably,  there had been an accident and the victims had been taken to the hospital. I was able to pass through to the bus stop.

I sent blessings to the people involved in the accident.

The first bus that was due didn't come. When the next bus that was due didn't arrive, I wondered if there was now a diversion because of the accident.  I asked one police officer and he said they had reported the incident and there must be a diversion as no buses have gone by. I decided to walk to the previous bus stop in case there was a diversion from that stop. I also kept thanking God fervently for sending the bus as that was the only way I could travel into central London at that time of night. Within a few minutes, I noticed a night bus approaching.

I was supposed to catch a minibus from central London to the film studio. I followed the direction I was given by this app, but I kept going round and round in circles and getting lost. I didn't want to miss the minibus. I finally met this woman who assured me I was on the right track and I should walk through a station where I found the minibus. 

The shoot was fun and wonderful. 

I also got a lift back to north London and I caught a bus home.

In this world, it's important to constantly pray as you go and never take anything for granted.

Thank you, God, for Your constant guidance and provision! Even when there are obstacles, You always make a way through them.  ❤️

If at First You Don't Succeed

So I put a quiche in the oven to heat it up. By the time I checked it again, it was overdone. I had to scrape the burnt bits off. I didn't share that information with my flatmate, who was at work at the time. The very next day, my flatmate bought me the exact same quiche from the supermarket. I told her I had "cooked" a quiche the day before but it was more burnt than cooked. I believe God had inspired my flatmate to buy that quiche for me. It was His way of saying, if at first you don't succeed, try again.😊 Tomorrow I will have the quiche and be sure to follow the heating instructions. Thank you, Lord, for caring about everything that concerns me including cooking. ❤️

If God is Sovereign, Why is there Evil?

It is written in the Bible that God is in complete control and rules over all. (Psalm 103: 19l If God is sovereign and in control of the entire universe, why is there so much evil in the world? In other words, why does He allow evil to continue? The Bible tells us that because God is extremely patient, He gives us many second chances to enable us to repent or change our ways, as He doesn't want anyone to perish. (2 Peter 3: 9) That's why God allows men to continue in their sin. At a time of God's choosing, He brings down the proud. (Daniel 4: 37) One example in the Bible is  the life of King Nebuchadnezzar. God sent a  dream to the king to warn him about his sins and how he was exalting himself above God.  If he did not repent, he would temporarily lose his kingdom and be driven away from human society and end up eating grass like animals.  The king did not heed God's warning. After a year, he ended up going mad and lived like an animal for seven years. God then res

About Angels

Do I believe in angels? I have always believed in angels. Years ago when a van came from nowhere and almost ran me over, someone pulled me out of the way. I turned round to thank the person, but there was no one there, at least they were not visible to my senses. I believe I was saved by an angel. When I followed the New Age, the belief was you could call on angels to do your bidding. Some people even worshipped angels. As a Christian, I now follow the teachings in the Bible. Angels appear frequently in the Bible. In the Bible: - Angels are God's messengers. For instance  the angel Gabriel was sent by God to tell the virgin Mary that she had been chosen to be the mother of Jesus. (Luke 1: 19) - Angels are sent by God to protect His people or fight various battles.(Psalm 91: 11-12; Revelation 12: 7) - Angels are not there to be at people's beck and call. Instead, they act on God's word.(Psalm 103: 20-21) - Angels are not to be worshipped. If I have a need, I can
