About Star Trek

I've been a huge fan of Star Trek, which I've been watching since I was a kid. We are both celebrating our 60th year this year.

As I see it, Star Trek represents accepting differences including race, politics, religion, cultures, philosophies, which is a noble view.  Some of the humanoids in the series even have interspecies relationships like a Ferengi falling in love with a  Cardassian. (See photo below).

In the real world, my real world, I have friends who have different viewpoints and I accept their points of views. 

However, when it comes to my inner circle, I prefer to fellowship with brothers and sisters in Christ i.e have a relationship with Christ and be God-centred.  

When it comes to relationships, in the past I have dated men based on race, cultural values or shared interests, but they haven't worked out because the spiritual core was always missing. It was like dating someone from a different dimension and the other was always trying to pull me into their dimension - and vice versa - without success. That's why God has said we should not get in relationships with unbelievers. (2 Corinthians 6: 14)

Right now, I'm very happy being single and enjoying my personal relationship with Christ.  

My point is while I enjoy Star Trek, I never forget that it is science-fiction. It has nothing to do with the way I live my life which is based on faith in Christ. 

Peace to all. ❤️

Relevant Bible verses:

[14] Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. For what fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness? And what communion has light with darkness? [15] And what accord has Christ with Belial? Or what part has a believer with an unbeliever? [16] And what agreement has the temple of God with idols? For you are the temple of the living God. As God has said: “I will dwell in them And walk among them. I will be their God, And they shall be My people.” [17] Therefore “Come out from among them And be separate, says the Lord. Do not touch what is unclean, And I will receive you.” [18] “I will be a Father to you, And you shall be My sons and daughters, Says the Lord Almighty.” 2 Corinthians 6:14-18, NKJV

About Availability

"God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble." ----- Last night I dreamt about my ex-boyfriend who is now a very good friend. In the dream, I was upset with him for not being there for me and forgetting my birthday.  When I woke up, I thought the dream was really silly.  Why would I care whether he forgets my birthday?  Besides, even though, we haven't been together for almost 10 years, he always remembers my birthday. This morning, I received a text from the same friend. He told me he recently had a minor operation and was recuperating at home.  He asked if I was available to visit him. I told him I was busy doing my laundry, but I could visit him in the afternoon, as he only lives about half an hour away from me by bus. He asked me to visit the next day instead if I was still available. Now it made sense why I had had that nonsense about my friend. I guess when you've known someone for 30 years, you're bound to be able to pick up on their vibe...

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 😊
