The manifestations, roadblocks, continue and it is sad because it doe not just hurt people going to work, people with medical emergencies and appointments, students trying to get to classes and hundreds of others simple wanting to do what they need to do.

The street markets are cheaper than the grocery stores, but the price of gasoline is so high it is cheaper for people to shop at supermarkets.

Acceptance chooses to believe that “All things God works for the good of those who love Him, to them called according to His purpose.” (Romans 8.28).

God is always present. Present means that which has existence in the present. To be currently in view or at hand; close, near and immediate. No matter where we go God is already there.

Exodus 33:14, “My presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.” Psalm 73:23-24 says, “Yet I am always with you; you hold me by my right hand, You guide me with your counsel, and afterward you will take me into glory.”
