Walking with God

While I was waiting for the bus, I could hear birds tweeting in the tree opposite. At the top of the tree, I spotted two magpies in courtship. How tweet, I mean sweet. 😊 Later, at another bus stop, I spotted a heart shaped stain on the pavement.  Love is everywhere. ❤️ ----- Relevant Bible verse: "He who does not love does not know God, for God is love." 1 John 4: 8 Photos of the courting magpies and the pavement.

My agency recently introduced us to this new app which we now have to use to book jobs and clock in and out. At my last booking, there were lots of us from the same agency. Before we clock in and out, we need to switch on the location on our phones. Majority of my colleagues had iPhones, but they couldn't figure out how to switch the location on or check that it's on. It took a lowly Android user, like myself, to look it up on the Internet and show them how. With my Android phone, all I need to do is swipe the screen down and I can adjust the settings on my phone, including turning the location on and off. Get smart and either learn how to use your fancy smartphone or make friends with a smart Android user who can teach you how to use your fancy smartphone. 😂

I am grateful the bumps on my arms, from these pesky mossies feeding on me, have now disappeared. I didn't use anything, I let God do the work.  Knowing British weather, next time I'm at the park it will be a lot cooler and I will be wearing a cardigan.😊

When I told my flatmate that the night before I had tried to keep cool by putting a damp towel around my neck, she gave me a spare "cooling down towel" which she said is designed for that purpose. I told her I wasn't even aware there was such a thing.   I tested it by draping the wet cooling down towel around my neck, chest and shoulders. It does keep you cool until the towel dries out and you have to wet it again. However,  I didn't use it when I went to sleep as I don't want to be dependent on it. Instead, I prayed for God to keep me cool and give me comfortable sleep, which He did. I believe that "cooling down towel" represents the life of comfort that a lot of people enjoy, especially in the West. If you have money, you can have anything you want.  Because we appear to have easy access to all the creature comforts and gadgets that we want, we start to believe the visible reality as our source of supply, which is limited; instead of looking to God, th...

At the last event I was working at, I met lots of old friends from my agency that I haven't seen for a while and we exchanged hugs. When I woke up the next day (Sunday) I had this fully blown cough and cold. It usually takes a few days for them to develop, but it came on suddenly.  I wondered if I had caught the lurgy from someone. 😊 I had an event booked for two days which I cancelled the next day giving the agency enough time to find a replacement. Despite how I was feeling, I acknowledged that God is always working His purpose in, through and for me. During the time I've been off, the Holy Spirit has been teaching me more about my identity in Christ through Bible Scriptures.  Another advantage of staying at home is I've been protected from the extreme heat we've been experiencing. Today, I went out for the first time to do some grocery shopping.  I was due to attend a training session tomorrow, which has been cancelled. I'm back at work on Saturday. I believe Go...

Before working at certain venues, you have to attend mandatory training. I was booked for training, but I wasn't looking forward to travelling in the hot weather.  My agency  has informed me that the client has cancelled all training session and will reschedule.  Thank you, Jesus. ❤️
