the power of prayer
God has never failed to amaze me. Just perfect, He's such an awesome God. And for one thing, it really shows that when God wants something to happen, no matter what the circumstance, He
will make it happen. One such example was last Friday just before
One.
I had planned the day out nicely, albeit to my liking. I'd planned to get out of the house on time, get to uni, do our video editing exercise and be done by about 2 or 3pm and head straight to the lighthouse to help out with the set design. So yup, I thought that nothing could stand in the way of things.
But then it happened the very second I stepped out of my front door. My entire driveway was filled with branches, leaves... the entire tree! I literally shut the door, stopped to think again, and then went outside again to look. And yes, indeed it turned out that my very inconsiderate neighbour has decided she wanted to cut down her tree, which is in her backyard which is by our driveway (her house was in a corner lot and ours is the first house in the adjacent street) and hence the tree-cutters had to access her backyard via our front, and my car was just.. stuck! There wasn't even enough room for me to get out, I had to get the guys to move away some of the branches just so I could get through. Oh no, I thought, and shuddered at the fact that I had to take public transport in Perth (being so reliant on my own wheels). I had to reconfigure my plans...
So yeah, waited under the scorching Australian sun for the bus to arrive to take me directly to Murdoch University. Shan't complain too much as I doubt anyone will be interested in hearing it anyway, and besides, I waited only 15 mins, which is good for Perth standard. So anyway, got down to uni...
Met the group, yes I was late, but they haven't started anyway, and we just did our thing. By the time we were done, I realised that it was already 3pm!! Argh *panic* I don't have time to help with set design anymore if i'm even on time for band prac at 4. And the bus! Ohmy I needed to take the bus home first, how long is that gonna take, I wondered.
So I prayed.
I really didn't wanna be late. Everytime I arrive late for something my mood is always rather black cos I know i've left a bad impression somewhere. So yeah, I was anxious.
And just as I was walking towards the bus stop, guess who I saw. I saw fellow Agapean, Matt Ho! And I was thinking, Lord is this true? Did You really place Matt there so that I won't be late getting to the Lighthouse?? And lo and behold, Matt was indeed on his way home in Canningvale, and my place in Willetton was pretty much on the way.
Talk about WoW. My God is like. WoW.
And then you know the rest lor, got there on time, and God really stole the rest of the show. It was His to start with anyway.
You go God!
still... wow...
