Hi PPN family,

I love taking photographs and a couple of years ago I began taking photographs with my film camera.

Not only did I take the photos on film, but I learnt how to develop the film in the darkroom. The very first roll of film I developed was empty! I was left with an empty roll of film with no photographs.

I was devasted.

I'd followed the instructions, taken the rights steps, and kept the roll of film in the chemicals for just the right about of time. Yet, after nearly an hour of processing the film I had no photographs to print.

Turns out that the issue wasn't because I develop the film wrong, but a problem with the camera shutter – no photographs were actually taken on the film.

You may be wondering why I share this? When we have a life with God, we need to trust the process he is leading us through. We are always presented with challenges throughout life - it may be health issues, financial issues, pr challenges at work or school, and alone we can struggle to face them.

Unlike the process taken when developing film, we are not left in complete darkness when we are challenged in life.

Lucky for us, we have God with us every step of the way. He doesn't leave us alone in the middle and he doesn't race to the end – He is walking alongside us every step of the way.

Just like Romans 8:28 says, “We know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them."

Blessings,

Pr Tiana
