Walking with God

I have observed when God gives you a dream it will not only come to pass, it will last forever.  However, when a dream is of man's creation or based on their ego, it will turn into a nightmare.  In the Bible, Joseph was given two dreams that he would one day become a ruler of some sort.  After he shared his dreams with his family, there were negative forces that didn't want that dream to come true. Joseph was soon sold into slavery, and then ended up in prison for a crime he didn't commit. While it seemed like his dream was never going to be made manifest, Joseph kept trusting in God who was always with him and working through him. About 12 to 13 years later, Joseph did not only become governor of Egypt, he saved his people and the rest of the world from famine.  (See Genesis Chapters 37 to 50) Even though Joseph has long gone, his dream has a long term effect on humanity. Thank you, God, for giving me Your dream which is unfolding daily. ❤️

I love this sermon by John Kilpatrick. He's one of my favourite pastors. I am really grateful God led me to him.  ❤️

 Sometimes, I just fancy something very simple like a green pesto and cheese toastie. Delicious and very moreish. I give thanks to the Father of lights where all good things come from. ❤️ ----- Relevant Bible verse: "Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning." James 1: 17 All good gifts around us Are sent from Heaven above Then thank the Lord, oh, thank the Lord For all His love

The photo below, which came up in my Facebook Memories, was taken 5 years ago. It is a reminder that you magnify what you focus on. The tree holds a special place in my heart because it is exactly where my university campus was based. I knew the surrounding was green but I was so focused on my studies, i didn't realise we were on the edge of an actual country park.  It was only years later that I started exploring that park, which is now one of my favourite parks. During Covid, that park was a life saver.  Now I focus and magnify Jesus and God's goodness in my life. Thank you, God, for giving us wonderful parks to enjoy in London. ❤️ ------ Relevant Bible verses: "Oh, magnify the Lord with me, And let us exalt His name together." Psalm 34: 3 "Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there ...

Before I went to the staff kitchen to have my lunch, I stopped off at the cafe to buy a bar of chocolate. There was only one member of staff serving and there were two customers ahead of me ordering several cups of coffee which was taking ages.   When it was finally my turn, I showed him my staff pass. "Why do you keep showing me your pass?" he said. "So I can have my 20% staff discount," I said. "I already know you work here," he said. "You're wearing a uniform, remember?" "Oh yeah!" I burst out laughing. After he scanned the chocolate, he asked me to tap my card. I absentmindedly tapped the bar of chocolate on the machine. "Looks like you really need this chocolate," he said, which made me chuckle. "Yeah, I'm having that kind of day," I said. While I was eating my lunch, I was laughing to myself. I even shared my experience with my manager and a colleague, which made them laugh. After I finished work, I saw...

On my way to work, I had to travel a different way as the tube line that I normally use was closed.  When I got off the tube to change to the next line, I noticed there were lots of steps leading down to the platform. That means, on my return journey, there would be lots of steps to climb up. I didn't fancy doing that. I decided to check out the tube map to see if there was an alternative step-free route back.  A transport staff standing nearby asked if he could help me. At first, I said I was fine, but then I asked him for his advice.  He asked me where I would be travelling home to. After telling him, he suggested an alternative route, which I wasn't too keen on. I thanked him and told him I would travel a different way. While I was waiting for my train, the transport staff and I had a chat. He told me he knew the area where I live as he lives in the neighbouring town. When I told him I lived opposite this huge supermarket, he said when that supermarket first opened, he...
