Kanya vs Soft Nougat

When I lived in Sierra Leone as a child, we used to eat this snack called Kanya, which was made of peanuts, sugar and Gari (grated cassava) or rice flour. There were no additives or preservatives, just pure organic deliciousness. The only time I've had it in the UK is when someone has given me some. My mum used to always know where to get some. 

Last year when my flatmate went to Spain, she brought me this Soft Nougat.  As soon as I tasted it I thought it tasted very similar to Kanya. I finished it in no time.

Because she remembered how much I enjoyed it, when she went to Spain again recently, she brought me some more Soft Nougat.

It's amazing how both sweets have such different ingredients and yet taste so similar.

I love both of them. 

Thank you, God, for the Soft Nougat. ❤️ 

The ingredients of Soft Nougat:

"Toasted almond (50%), sugar, glucose-fructose syrup, honey, stabiliser and egg white.

"Contains Almond and eggs. May contain traces of other nuts, peanuts, sesame seeds and soya."

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...

Jesus Heals

As Christians, we are the light of the world (Matthew 5: 14) and we are to shine the light of Christ wherever we are and glorify God.  One time while I was working on this TV project as a supporting artist aka extra, I started experiencing loss of vision, symptom of a migraine attack. I hadn't had one in many years. I told a friend I was working with how I was feeling. She offered me medication, but I declined. I told her I needed to take time out to pray. I then quietly reminded myself that "By His stripes I am healed." (Isaiah 53: 5)   After about fifteen minutes, my vision was back to normal and there was no headache. My friend, a non-believer, marvelled over how quickly I had got well.  I told her God had healed me.  I was even able to do a scene where we had to run from an attack.I  Another time, when I was working at this art gallery, a colleague, who is Muslim, told me he was having pain in one arm and couldn't lift it. I asked him if I could lay my ...
