Spirit Walking

Yesterday, I planned to do some grocery shopping.  After doing my laundering and some household chores, I realised it was way too soon to tackle grocery shopping, so I left it for another day.

This morning I went out to do my grocery shopping. It was the first time I had been out since I was off sick. 

As I was walking to the supermarket, which is only about five minutes walk from our building, I noticed I was feeling very light. I know I've lost a bit of weight, but I wasn't feeling my body.  It was like I was a spirit and I was gliding.

When I'm not feeling well, I really do go deep into the Bible to get inspiration and spend time praying. (I also spent a lot of time on Facebook and watching stuff on my laptop). 

I was reminded of the following Bible verse:

"It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life." John 6: 63

It makes sense why I was feeling so light as the Word is spirit.  Imagine what would happen if I spent 100% of my time reading the Bible and focused only on Jesus!

I'm back at work tomorrow. I will be working at this art gallery, which should give me lots of opportunities to meditate on Bible verses I have memorised. 

Onwards and upwards. 😀

Thank you, Jesus, for Your healing grace. ❤️

Second of November

While my colleague and I were letting the audience into the auditorium, this man said to me,, "Is it the second or the third today?" "It's the second of November today," I said. "I meant is it the second or third concerto?" he said.  I burst out laughing. His wife told him to check the programme. Before they went in, he told me my response could be used in a comedy sketch. That's what you get when you ask a literalist, like me, a question. 😄

Indiana Jones

Today, I was working as a host at three graduation ceremonies from the same university. At the end of each ceremony, the orchestra they had on stage played the theme song from the film, "Indiana Jones", composed by John Williams. By the end of my shift, I had that song stuck in my head. On the way home, I stopped at this restaurant to get some food then walked to the bus stop  As the bus I wanted got cancelled, I decided to travel a different route, which took a lot longer.  When I finally got home, I had a quick shower. I then turned on my laptop to watch some mindless TV on this film channel. Guess what film they had on? "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull." Very funny, God! 😂 Of course, I had to watch it again, even though I've seen it a zillion times. I never get tired of Indiana Jones films or that theme song. ❤️

Bananas

 A few days ago while I was grocery shopping, I wondered if I should get some bananas, but I decided not to as they don't last long. That's why I only buy a banana when I fancy one in that moment.  I got red grapes instead which last a lot longer. Yesterday, I didn't see my flatmate as I was already in bed by the time she got home. This morning when I went in the kitchen, I noticed my flatmate had left a note on the kitchen top for me to have these two bananas. I immediately gobbled one up. Thank you, God, for providing my bananas through my flatmate. ♥️ Photo of the note and bananas 😊
