Chocolate Ice Lollies

Image
Two months ago, I met someone at the bus stop who gave me a chocolate ice lolly. I hadn't had that particular brand before. Since it got warmer, I've bought a few, which I have shared with my flatmate.   Now she's been buying them and sharing hers with me. Thank you, God, for providing chocolate ice lollies that keep me cool when it's boiling hot. ❤️

Staying Cool During a Heatwave

Image
How to keep your homes cool in London during a heatwave - keep the sun out by drawing the curtains.  If it gets too dark, switch the light on. It's a lot cheaper than getting air-conditioning. 😂 Other ways to keep cool during a heatwave: - visit the supermarket.  Pretend to buy something otherwise, they will chuck you out; - visit a shopping mall, you can stay there as long as possible; - visit a library - some of them are air-conditioned; - go to work as most businesses have air-conditioning. Don't forget to have a cardigan with you to keep yourself warm; - visit a park and find shelter under a tree.  If you can, avoid: - buses. They may have air-conditioning, but they don't  seem to be able to cope with temperatures over 25 degrees Celsuis. However, you can keep cool, by always sitting on the side of the bus that's in the shade. You may have to keep swapping seats though; - the tube (underground trains) as most of them are not very well ventilated; - trains as the...

God's Protection

I was so sorry to hear about the train collision in Bedford (southeast of England), which killed the driver and injured many passengers. May God comfort the driver's family and loved ones and pour His healing grace on those who are injured. As someone who is constantly travelling on public transport - buses, tubes (underground trains), trains - I do so with the constant awareness that I move in Christ who is my constant protection. He is the one in control of my journeys. God bless all those involved directly and indirectly in the collision.  Thank you, God, for Your constant protection. ❤️ ----- Relevant Bible verses: "Because you have made the Lord, who is my refuge, Even the Most High, your dwelling place, No evil shall befall you, Nor shall any plague come near your dwelling; For He shall give His angels charge over you, To keep you in all your ways. In their hands they shall bear you up, Lest you dash your foot against a stone." Psalm 91:  9-12 “God, who made the wor...

God at Work

So I was booked for an early and long shift at this event.  I planned to leave home at 5.15am to catch the train. While I was getting ready for work, I asked God to make the upcoming shift easy, fun and wonderful.  I also asked Him to make it so easy that I don't have to do anything. 😂 My journey to work was very easy and I arrived at work around 6.45am for a 7am start. At the theatre, I was allocated at, I checked the schedule. The talks were 20 mins long, back to back. My colleagues and I were required to scan visitors in, do queue management, ensure visitors had headsets and clean them after the talks finished, and make sure the theatre was clean.  We were even one staff short. It turned out we only had to scan visitors for the first talk, which was extremely busy. At the end of that talk, the organisers  came round to help us clear the theatre and clean the headsets. We also had a cleaner in to clean the theatre.  For the rest of the the talks, the scanning...

Hug Stop

While I was out walking at the park with my friend, we spotted this heart shape on the path with the words, "Hug Stop."  So we stopped, stood in the heart shape and gave each other warm hugs. What a lovely idea! Love hugs. ❤️

Trusting in Jesus

While I was travelling on the bus in south London, I noticed a bus with the destination "Foots Cray" which I found rather amusing.  I decided to write a post about it on Facebook.  An error message came up that it wasn't posted so I discarded that post.  I tried again, but the same message came up and I discarded it. I wondered if my post had been censored for some reason. When I visited my friend at the hospital, I told her about my attempt to post about Foots Cray.  I came up with reasons why it hadn't been posted. Maybe it was a secret code or it's a crazy name?  We had fun with those ideas. When I left the hospital, I took a photo of a tree near the hospital and posted it on Facebook and there was no problem.  I then noticed a friend's post saying he was grateful Facebook was now back. Aha, so that's why I couldn't post hours earlier. When I don't have the full picture, I make up stories and scenarios that are not true. When I trust in the Lord...

Funny Names

So I discovered there is a place in south London called Foots Cray. There's also a road in south London called Ha Ha.  I think I'll stick to living in north London, we've got more sensible names. 😂  Here is a photo I took while I was in south London. At least they still have trees
