Trusting in God to Work Everything Out

The last time I was working at this particular gallery, it took me 30 minutes to walk from the tube station and I arrived 5 minutes before my shift started, which is extremely late for me.

Before my next shift, I was notified that part of the tube line that I normally use will be closed at the weekend  for engineering works. I wondered how lomg it was going to take to get to work this time?

My next shift was going to finish at 6.30pm and the gallery is located in a park that closes at 4.30pm. The adjacent park closes at 12midnght.  That means I could walk through that park. They currently have a winter event going on at that park which means it will be crowded at night.  I don't fancy walking through that crowd.

When I checked the alternative routes, I was inspired to  take a different tube line, get off at another tube station and catch a bus. From the bus stop, it took about 5 minutes to walk to the gallery. I arrived an hour early. 

I killed time by going for a walk around the park. It was quite breezy, but I didn't mind it.  I later discovered there was a storm going on in parts of the UK. We didn't have it quite as bad in London, thank God. (The storm did hit London the next day).

After work, I walked to the bus stop and caught the first bus to another tube station. As I didn't have any food at home, at the tube station  I was able to go to my favourite store and buy some food to last me for a few days.

When I arrived home, I discovered my flatmate had bought me a microwave meal, which means I have an extra day of food. She had also bought my favourite fruit drink as well.

There really is no need to worry about stuff. As Jesus teaches us, our Father knows that we have need of these things and will take care of them. We just need to seek Him first. (Mathew 6: 31-33).

Thank you, God, for making everything work out for good. ❤️

Jesus is Lord!

"...no one can say that Jesus is Lord except by the Holy Spirit." 1 Corinthians 12:3 ---- While I was relaxing in bed, I stretched one leg and I started feeling pain on my calf.   No, no, no! The pain quickly became a cramp. I called on the name of Jesus, but I could feel the pain getting worse. Just as I was about to get off the bed and put my foot down, I heard these words deep inside of me, "Jesus is Lord." I said the words out loud: JESUS IS LORD! The cramp immediately left my calf. Thank you, Holy Spirit, for your reminder that Jesus is Lord. ❤️ "Where the Spirit of the Lord is there is liberty." 2 Corinthians 3: 17 Image of the cross courtesy of Google Images, but I added the text.

An Easy Day

Image
Before I went to work at this museum, I thanked God for an easy, fun and wonderful day. Half of my time was spent working in the gallery, where I was invigilating, and in the shop serving customers.  Although it was really busy with a constant flow of visitors and kids, I found it easy as God was working in me and through me My work colleagues were also very nice and helpful and I enjoyed working with them. I also enjoyed chatting to the parents and their kids. While I was tidying up an area of the gallery, I found this soft toy and I gave it to a colleague to look after. Later, I saw this boy sitting in the cafe with his mum and sister. I noticed he was carrying the toy I had found in the gallery. I told him I was glad he got his toy back. I asked him how old they were, he was six years old  and his sister was ten. The boy said his birthday was on the 27th December. I told him my nephew's birthday was also on that day. How amazing is that? At the end of the shift, our duty ma...

Letting Go of Grievance

Last night while I was working at  this concert, most of the guests I met were friendly and polite, but there was one particular guest who was challenging. After the event finished, I reported the experience to the duty manager and let it go, or so I thought. When I woke up this morning, the guest was still in my head. I asked God to help me let go of any grievance I was holding. I was reminded of Ephesians 4: 31-32.  Thank God for the Bible, which has the answer to every problem we have in this world. ❤️ ----- Related Bible verses: "Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, clamor, and evil speaking be put away from you, with all malice. And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you."
