Travel Guide

As Christians, we are aware this is a fallen world where the devil is constantly creating chaos. However, every single born again Christian has the Holy Spirit living inside of them, who is their guide and teacher. He navigates us through our daily affairs. For instance, I planned to travel to work via a certain route.  When I woke up this morning, I started browsing this online newspaper. I then realised, I hadn't done my prayers and spent time with the Lord.  I thought, "Sorry, Lord, you know You are my number one." As I continued browsing,  I noticed a headline about a fire at a train station.  I discovered the station was in London which meant the train route I had planned to use was bound to be affected. Whern I checked the transport website, it confirmed that was the case and I was going to have to leave earlier than planned and use an alternative route. I believe it was the Holy Spirit who had inspired me to look at the online newspaper.  Thank you, Lord,...

Toilet Rolls

As I'd almost run out of toilet rolls, I was thinking whether to get some at the supermarket near work or wait till I come home and then buy some at our local supermarket.  Decisions, decisions. After my flatmate returned from her shopping, she told me she had bought me some toilet rolls. As she could see I was running low, she bought a huge packet of my preferred brand to share with me. Thank you, God, for meeting that need. ❤️ ---- Relevant Bible verse: "But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus." Philippians 4: 19

After Thoughts

Image
The Bible teaches believers that we become what we think. (Proverbs 23: 7) I have noticed that whatever thoughts I am preoccupied with not only affect my behaviour, they influence my environment.  Here are a few examples, which happened a few days ago. Every morning, I check my Facebook memories to see what I was up to. On this particular morning, a post I had written from 2017 stood out: "If one size fitted all, everyone would be a size 7. Let us appreciate our uniqueness." An hour later, while I was on the tube on my way to work, I sat in front of this young man who looked like he was in his thirties. At one point, our eyes locked and he smiled. I smiled back and quickly looked away as I didn't want to encourage him. I then glanced at the advert above the man in front of me and noticed it read:  "Prolonged eye contact getting a bit much? You're not the only one."   The words made me chuckle. (The advert was for some therapy). I took a photo of it.  I made ...

Love is Everywhere

Image
While I was waiting for the bus, I could hear birds tweeting in the tree opposite. At the top of the tree, I spotted two magpies in courtship. How tweet, I mean sweet. 😊 Later, at another bus stop, I spotted a heart shaped stain on the pavement.  Love is everywhere. ❤️ ----- Relevant Bible verse: "He who does not love does not know God, for God is love." 1 John 4: 8 Photos of the courting magpies and the pavement.

Get Smart

My agency recently introduced us to this new app which we now have to use to book jobs and clock in and out. At my last booking, there were lots of us from the same agency. Before we clock in and out, we need to switch on the location on our phones. Majority of my colleagues had iPhones, but they couldn't figure out how to switch the location on or check that it's on. It took a lowly Android user, like myself, to look it up on the Internet and show them how. With my Android phone, all I need to do is swipe the screen down and I can adjust the settings on my phone, including turning the location on and off. Get smart and either learn how to use your fancy smartphone or make friends with a smart Android user who can teach you how to use your fancy smartphone. 😂

Insect Bites Healed

I am grateful the bumps on my arms, from these pesky mossies feeding on me, have now disappeared. I didn't use anything, I let God do the work.  Knowing British weather, next time I'm at the park it will be a lot cooler and I will be wearing a cardigan.😊

Creature Comforts

Image
When I told my flatmate that the night before I had tried to keep cool by putting a damp towel around my neck, she gave me a spare "cooling down towel" which she said is designed for that purpose. I told her I wasn't even aware there was such a thing.   I tested it by draping the wet cooling down towel around my neck, chest and shoulders. It does keep you cool until the towel dries out and you have to wet it again. However,  I didn't use it when I went to sleep as I don't want to be dependent on it. Instead, I prayed for God to keep me cool and give me comfortable sleep, which He did. I believe that "cooling down towel" represents the life of comfort that a lot of people enjoy, especially in the West. If you have money, you can have anything you want.  Because we appear to have easy access to all the creature comforts and gadgets that we want, we start to believe the visible reality as our source of supply, which is limited; instead of looking to God, th...
