Walking with God

On the way to church, I got on the tube (underground train). As soon as I sat down, I noticed the carriage was really warm. I looked at the carriage door and noticed the window was closed. No wonder it's so stuffy in here!  To keep myself cool, I took off my hat. I started thinking of the Bible verse about Christ living inside of me (Galatians 2: 20), which I've been meditating on for the last month. Suddenly, I heard the window of the door to our carriage snap open.  All of us in the carriage were startled and we stared at the door. There was no one standing there, at least no one visible. I was grateful there was now some cool air coming into the carriage. Nice one, God!👍 A few stops down, some more passengers got on the same carriage and one of them opened the window all the way. Thank you, Jesus, for keeping us cool. ❤️ ----- Relevant Bible verse: "I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in t...

Before online maps, I used to be very  proficient at using the "Follow Your Nose" way of finding places. I would often get lost and ask God to guide me or send someone to help. When I started using online maps, I was constantly lost as I'm not very good at reading maps. I've gone back to the old way of trusting in God as my Guide. Just as well, as the park I went to today was so huge, at one point I had no idea where I was. I asked God and I heard the word "Teddington." He told me to trust Him and He kept guiding me until I came out of one gate. He then led me to a bus stop where I was able to catch a bus to the nearest train station. Thank God!  Trust in God and He will show you the way.❤️ ----- Relevant Bible verses: "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths." Proverbs 3: 5-6 Woodlands Gardens, Bushy Park.

While I was working on the second floor of this museum, I welcomed this man and his kids and suggested play areas for the kids and an exhibition he might enjoy. About an hour later, while I was on the ground floor, I saw the same man and his family doing a fun trail around the museum. He asked me a question,  which I answered. Later, while I was working in the cloakroom, the same man turned up with his kids to pick up their coats and bags. The man said to me, "Are you the only one working in this museum because I keep seeing you everywhere?" 😀 Speaking of being everywhere, a few days ago, I volunteered at this museum where they had a festival.  There were several actors playing historical characters.  I had a chit chat with two of them. The next day, I worked at another museum and noticed one of the actors I had been chatting to at the festival. She was dressed in a costume and  working with some school kids. Apparently, that's her day job. It was nice to see her. T...

 I'm still enjoying watching people reacting to songs and music videos on YouTube. One music video that has shocked many is "What You Won't Do For Love" by Bobby Caldwell because it sounds so soulful that people expect the singer to be black until they discover he's white. Although I've heard that song loads of times, I've never watched the video or even knew what the singer looked like until now. I wasn't shocked or surprised when I saw him, as there are lots of white singers who have a soulful voice. I believe God has given people their unique voice with a talent to sing all kinds of songs that glorify Him, but humans have created different music genres based on culture and lifestyles that can create stereotypes. Speaking of stereotypes, one time when I was on a film set and chatting to this white lady, she told me I was very well spoken.  I knew she was implying that I was very well spoken for a black person.  I wasn't offended though. People ha...

When the bus I was waiting for was arriving, I looked out for cyclists.  A while back, when they started putting cycle lanes on pavements, to avoid collisions there was an announcement on buses reminding passengers to look out for cyclists when they are getting off the bus.   I've now become super-alert for cyclists whenever I am getting on and off buses, and crossing the road. In other words, my subconscious mind has been reprogrammed to include cyclists. I'm reminded of that verse in the Bible (Romans 12: 2) which teaches Christians to renew their minds. When you meditate on the Word of God/the Bible, your soul or subconscious mind is being reprogrammed so you get to live out God's will for you.  Years ago, I went through a period of extreme exhaustion and I wasn't able to work. I kept meditating on Isaiah 46: 4 (see verse below) and believing God was going to heal me.  After weeks of the same, my brother convinced me to see a doctor.  I registered with a...

A few months back, a friend and I were planning to meet up to celebrate my birthday, but she had to cancel because of work commitments. She suggested some dates she was available to meet, but the earliest date that worked for both of us was in early October. As soon as we met, my friend handed me a bag of gifts. I was overwhelmed with gratitude. As I was working that evening, I didn't open my gifts until a day later. n my goodie bag were a jumper, shoes, flip-flops, a scarf and sweets. She had even put some money in my belated birthday card.  I gave the flip-flops to my flatmate as I thought she could use them when she goes swimming. After I texted my friend to thank her, she replied: "God is good and a Generous God." She said she has more things to give me next time we meet up. Just like my friend had all these gifts for me for when I am open to receive them,  I believe God has infinite blessings for His children. As it is written: "Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, ...
