I walk in faith

Image
By
This is another page from my ninth book called "Dear God". I was inspired to write this book after writing "I am voting for God" on my blog. It continues in that format. Short letters (or prayers) to God. It gives me an opportunity to write more and write to God at different moments in my life.
___________________

Dear God,

I let go of all that is bad for me. I let go of the what worries me. I let go of what pains me. I let go of overthinking. I let go of wanting to be perfect. I let go of too many wants. I let go of bad news. I let go of negativity. I let go of thinking I am not enough.

God, You are enough for me. God, I am letting you take control of my life. God, I surrender to Your plans for me. I walk in faith. I am letting go and letting God. And just as I wrote that, the rain started pouring at 204am. Let that be a sign of Your presence and embrace. Let Your love rain over me. Let Your mercy give me direction.

If letting go in Your name. The let-ters of God can easily expand to God of direction. Show me the way. Keep me on Your path. I am open to the lessons* You are teaching me. I embrace the blessings You are pouring out. I know that Your timing is perfect. My heart is full of gratitude for Your constant guidance and love. I walk in faith with Your rain and Your reign*, and I am at peace.

*When I was finished I decided to do a word count and this chapter is 204 and 10 words.

*204 corresponds to the time rain began to fall and 10 words make up the highlighted statement.

*The rain might have fallen for about 10 minutes.

*I did a spell check after and there were two grammatical errors I spotted which I have highlighted and which is part of the word count. Seems as if even our mistakes are part of God's plans. Our mistakes are lessons.

*This is chapter 14

Hobby project - Store and view exchange rates

By
The next step in my project was to test out being able store and display the rates in a database. I decided to use nodejs and supabase for this. Everything worked beautifully. Only hickup was the following error due to my package.json not being correct. SyntaxError: Cannot use import statement outside a module Added this to package.json   "type": "module" This works beautifully. Right now I am just testing fragments of what could be part of a bigger system to see what is possible and what works and how easy to code on a mobile. There is no fully functioning integrated end to end system just yet. This is also what I tested. A serverless append-only database using GitHub + Actions + Pages. That’s basically a lightweight backend system. This was the ChatGPT prompt I used. Guide me through each step. This is what I want. A manually run github actions that adds to docs/data.json with the current date and time. docs/index.html displays all the entries in data.json. Make s...

What is important

By
Every now and again, I get reminded of the why. Why I have handed my life over to God. It is 3:08 p.m. and I have decided to write. Honestly, I feel like I could end this blog post right here. What more is there to say? God above all else. God is our compass on this journey called life. Everything else can become a distraction. Maybe not everything, but certainly many things. You get the point. What is important? What do we prioritise? What do we make time for? The answers look different for everyone. Our lives are different. We are tested differently. We are all products of our circumstances, and those circumstances vary from person to person. Yet God is the common thread across humanity and throughout time. God always was and always will be. One day, we will answer to God. We will give account to God. We cannot live without food, water, and oxygen, but all of those things come from God. So how can we live without God? How timely. I just received a notification from the Quranly app: S...

Running php and apache on termux

By
This was my experience getting php and apache to run on termux apt update && apt upgrade -y apt install php-apache I was following an old blog post that used php 7 and got these errors Can't locate API module structure `php7_module' in file /data/data/com.termux/files/usr/libexec/apache2/libphp.so: undefined symbol: php7_module Cannot load /data/data/com.termux/files/usr/libexec/apache2/libphp7.so Corrected in apache config file vim $PREFIX/etc/apache2/httpd.conf LoadModule php_module /data/data/com.termux/files/usr/libexec/apache2/libphp.so Apache is running a threaded MPM, but your PHP Module is not compiled to be threadsafe.  You need to recompile PHP. Comment out mpm_worker and use mpm_prefork #LoadModule mpm_worker_module libexec/apache2/mod_mpm_worker.so LoadModule mpm_prefork_module libexec/apache2/mod_mpm_prefork.so This still does not work as apache (httpd) was failing silently. According to Chatty LoadModule php_module ...libphp.so often fails in Termux becau...
