Travel Plans

Before work, I always check the travel app the night before for train times and the quickest route.

I decided I would catch the 08.08 train into town followed by the tube, which should give me enough time to stop at the local shopping centre to buy some food for lunch; walk leisurely to work; change into my uniform; gather everything I need; and have the usual banter with my work colleagues before our briefing.

On the actual day, I checked the travel app again. It said the earlier train, the 07.38,  was delayed and was now due at 07.41. As I was already dressed, I decided to catch that train, instead of the 08.08 train.

When I arrived at the platform, I noticed there was a revision to the train timetable showing that the 08.08 train was now cancelled and the second train was going to be 08.38. I knew if I had caught the 08.38 train, I would not have any time to get lunch and would arrive at work with only a few minutes to spare. 

Thank you, God, for always adjusting my plans according to how You see things instead of my limited awareness. ❤️

 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 😊

On Being the Light of the World

"You are the light of the world." Matthew 5: 14 ---- I was booked to work as a steward at  this huge concert hall I've worked at before.  Usually after I am booked at a venue, I check what kind of concert or event it is. This one was a two day Christian conference promoting a course I've actually been on. There were going to be speakers and delegates from all over the world. Two days before the Christian conference, I was booked at a music venue I've never worked at before, but have always been curious about. When I checked who the band was, I discovered there were going to be several bands playing extreme metal music that promised to be very "dark."  I was going to cancel that booking, but  I remembered Jesus told believers that we "are the light of the world" which means we are to be the light for everyone, everywhere.  Also, God has not given me the spirit of fear. (2 Timothy 1: 7) At the music gig, my colleague and I were outside the doors ...
