The Lord is My Companion

I couldn't sleep as I was thinking of my job and how I didn't feel equipped, as my employer still hadn't provided the resources I had asked for. I was even thinking of the conversation I was going to have with my manager.

After several hours of tossing and turning mentally and physically, I reminded myself that Jesus is Lord of all aspects of my life.

I then repeated the following verse: "The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not want" (Psalm 23: 1) until I fell asleep.

I was feeling really peaceful when I woke up the next morning. 

Later, when I got on the train, it was packed full so I had to stand.Two stops down, a passenger got off near where I was standing. This young man, who was standing next to the vacant seat, asked me if I wanted to sit down. I said yes and thanked him.

The first thing I noticed was the seat in front of me was a "companion seat" for a wheelchair user travelling with their companion.  It was the first time I'd  seen it and I took a photo of it.  At that time of the day, those seats were occupied by commuters. 

The "companion seat" reminded me of the Bible verse I had been meditating on the night before. The Lord, who is my Shepherd, is also my constant Companion and makes everything work out for the best.

When I got to work and I spoke to my manager, she had all the resources I had been worrying about the night before to help me do my job.

In other words, tthe Lord had already provided what I thought I was lacking.

"The Lord is my shepherd; I have all that I need." Psalm 23: 1, NLT ❤️

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 😊
