rain, rain go away....

Interestingly like the farmer, we in tv production rely heavily on God as Ruler of ALL nature with regards to good weather so that we can carry out our filming especially for location shoots. I found myself pleading with God every time it threatened to rain. It did not matter where I was or what time of the day, every time it rained I would think of whether I had a crew on location shoot.
One afternoon, the winds blew, the leaves flew and dark clouds hung in the sky....there was an important shoot going on. We were filming a football scene for a drama at a stadium for the whole afternoon. We had actual players from a football club out there including a large cast of extras - an expensive and complicated location shoot.
I stood outside and watched God's power in the wind and the leaves, it was a beautiful and majestic sight but I cried out to the LORD to blow the black clouds away from wherever the filming was done. I went back to work and did not receive a call to cancel the shoot. Praise God for answer to prayer.
Two years later the Assistant Director of the shoot and I were having a conversation about God and His power. He was not a believer but had attended church as a youth. He excitedly recalled what happened that day. He said that dark clouds had gathered over the stadium. The cast and crew scurried around to complete as much of the shoot as possible before the heavens opened. Then the strangest thing happened.... it began to rain but only over part of the stadium where the filming was NOT being done!
Isn't that awesome? God is all powerful and able to rule over the wind and the rains as He chooses. We worship such a marvellous God. :]
