Walking with God

After I heard the news that a footballer (from the football club I actually support) had died in a car accident, I felt sad for his family and loved ones, his football colleagues and all football fans of the club.   It reminded me of a university friend. When we met, she already had a baby and was living with her  boyfriend.  Despite the fact that she had many responsibilities, she was very disciplined and goal focused. She even had a 10 year plan. I had no responsibilities, but I still had problems submitting my essays in on time. 😊 After my friend finished her degree, she went on to do a Masters degree. Her boyfriend then went to university and did his degree. They ended up getting married, having two more kids, and emigrated to America, where her boyfriend was from. One day, I received a call from another university friend. She asked if I'd heard what had happened to our mutual university friend in America. I told her we had lost touch. (There was no social media...

While I was walking in Highgate Wood, this couple walked past me. I heard her saying to him, "It's just trees, trees and more trees." "I take it she's not a fan of trees then?" I said to them and they both laughed. I can't see that relationship going the full distance if she doesn't appreciate his passion for trees. 😀 Some photos and a clip. ❤️

After I finished scanning my grocery on the self-checkout, I noticed the total amount, before  loyalty card discount, was £33.33.  Wow! Reminded me of Jeremiah 33: 3: "Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know.’"  Thank you, God, for continuously showing me great and mighty things that I do not know. ❤️ Photo of the amount on the self-checkout.

Whenever I work at this exhibition centre, there are usually tens of thousands of visitors attending.  And yet, I always end up bumping into this particular friend, even when we are working at different events. It's like there is this magnet that draws us to each other. I bumped into her again today, but we couldn't chat as we were both on our way to work at different events, again.  Two months ago, a few of us worked at this museum. After I got booked to work there again over the school holidays, I wondered if one of my colleagues was going to work there as well. I was thinking of texting her to ask her. Today at the tube (underground) station, I literally bumped into the same colleague. I asked her if she was working at the museum again and she said yes. I was so amazed, I texted her later. I have also been wondering about these two train stations called Haringay Green Station and Harringey Station and whether they are close to each other. After I bumped into my colleague, I...

This post was previously posted on my previous blog . ----- "Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us (for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree”), that the blessing of Abraham might come upon the Gentiles in Christ Jesus, that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith." Galatians 3; 13-14 ---- While I was walking at Regent's Park, I could see BT Tower in the distance, which I used as my landmark to guide me to where I was headed. I know I'm headed in the wrong direction if I can no longer see any part of the BT Tower. It got me thinking of the cross that Jesus was crucified on. I believe the cross is a landmark that reminds me of the price Jesus's crucifixion paid for all humanity for all time. If I am ever feeling"lost" physically, emotionally or spiritually,, all I need to do is either think of the cross or look at a representation of the cross and I'm back on track. Thank you, ...

At the train station, I went to my favourite food store to buy a sandwich and some yoghurt. After I finished eating, I wondered if there was a bin close by to chuck the leftovers. I noticed a pigeon walking by. Aha, I could give it the crusts I haven't eaten. When someone walked by, the pigeon got startled and flew away. Nevermind! I'm sure I'll find a bin somewhere.  I went back to writing my email. Suddenly, I looked up and was amazed to see a station cleaner pushing a trolley full of rubbish. I asked him if I could put my rubbish in it and he took it off me. I said thanks. Thank you, God, for bringing the rubbish bin to me. ❤️
