I Need a Lightweight Jacket

One thing I find extremely tedious is shopping for clothes and I hate window shopping. I only shop for clothes, shoes, cosmetics and accessories on a need to basis. 

I also like going to charity shops as you can find really unusual items in them and the money goes to a good cause. Years ago, I found this reversible coat for £70. Apparently,  I would have paid £200 or more if it was brand new.

Recently, I've been thinking that I need a new lightweight jacket for work as the ones I have are no longer suitable. I went to a charity shop near work, but I didn't see anything I liked. The next day, I kept thinking again that I need a new coat.  After I finished work I was thinking of popping into a local clothes shop, but I decided to come home instead.

At home, my flatmate told me she has this lightweight jacket she hasn't worn in two years. She thought because I usually wear black to work, I might like it and it's a good brand. She also said she had just washed it.  The moment I saw it, I could see it was exactly what I needed. And it fitted perfectly.

Thank you, God, for meeting that particular need so elegantly. ❤️

Relevant Bible verses:

“Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you." Matthew 6: 31-33

"But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus." Philippians 4: 19

The Three Times

I have observed that there are three times - consensus agreement time, cultural time and God time. I was working as a host at this Bhangra concert. The official start time or consensus agreement time was 7.30pm. We kept reminding fans that the concert was about to start, but most of them paid no attention because they expected it to start late i.e. cultural time. There was this last mnute rush to get them in and show them to their seats. After the concert started, we were asked to only let fans in at the end of each performance, so we had to listen out for the applause. Some latecomers couldn't understand why they had to wait. While I was at the door, I explained that it is our policy to keep them waiting so we don't disrupt the performance. Some fans came out to get drinks at the bar and wanted to get back in, but I told them they had to wait until the next entry point.  The funniest thing was when this woman came out of the concert to get her friend to go in with her. I told ...

Obedience

Before the children's show I was working on started, my colleagues and I were in the foyer welcoming parents and their kids, directing them to the theatre and showing others where to park their buggies.  I noticed one colleague was speaking to this man.  She told us the man said after he gave his Bible to a homeless man, God told him to come to this arts centre and get a Bible.   Why would God send him to an arts centre that specialises in music, drama and dance? I suggested he could download a Bible app, if he needed instant access to a Bible. I even recommended an app I use, but  the man was adamant that God had told him to get a Bible at this arts centre. While my colleague continued to chat to the man, I focused on welcoming guests to the arts centre. Finally I saw the man holding a Bible. Apparently, my colleague always carries a Bible with her which she has been studying. As she was speaking to the man she was inspired to give him her Bible. We were all am...
