Walking with God

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. ❤️

The other day, I read about this man who slapped another passenger on the tube. When other passengers intervened, the "attacker" apologised to the victim. I reckon the unnatural hot weather (for the UK) is making people act out.  I don't care how much some people say they love the heatwave, it's not natural. Otherwise, there would be no need for air conditioning or fans, nor would countries like Spain have Siestas that allow people to have naps in the afternoon. As the UK is not used to extremes of temperatures, our infrastructure is not equipped for them. That's why air conditioning on public transport are ineffective at certain temperatures.  I hear some parents are complaining about schools closing early because of the heat. When I worked at primary schools, there were no air conditioning, we just opened the windows. When it got too hot, we couldn't let the kids play outside for safety reasons. They were very uncomfortable staying in the classroom.  I under...

Two months ago, I met someone at the bus stop who gave me a chocolate ice lolly. I hadn't had that particular brand before. Since it got warmer, I've bought a few, which I have shared with my flatmate.   Now she's been buying them and sharing hers with me. Thank you, God, for providing chocolate ice lollies that keep me cool when it's boiling hot. ❤️

How to keep your homes cool in London during a heatwave - keep the sun out by drawing the curtains.  If it gets too dark, switch the light on. It's a lot cheaper than getting air-conditioning. 😂 Other ways to keep cool during a heatwave: - visit the supermarket.  Pretend to buy something otherwise, they will chuck you out; - visit a shopping mall, you can stay there as long as possible; - visit a library - some of them are air-conditioned; - go to work as most businesses have air-conditioning. Don't forget to have a cardigan with you to keep yourself warm; - visit a park and find shelter under a tree.  If you can, avoid: - buses. They may have air-conditioning, but they don't  seem to be able to cope with temperatures over 25 degrees Celsuis. However, you can keep cool, by always sitting on the side of the bus that's in the shade. You may have to keep swapping seats though; - the tube (underground trains) as most of them are not very well ventilated; - trains as the...

I was so sorry to hear about the train collision in Bedford (southeast of England), which killed the driver and injured many passengers. May God comfort the driver's family and loved ones and pour His healing grace on those who are injured. As someone who is constantly travelling on public transport - buses, tubes (underground trains), trains - I do so with the constant awareness that I move in Christ who is my constant protection. He is the one in control of my journeys. God bless all those involved directly and indirectly in the collision.  Thank you, God, for Your constant protection. ❤️ ----- Relevant Bible verses: "Because you have made the Lord, who is my refuge, Even the Most High, your dwelling place, No evil shall befall you, Nor shall any plague come near your dwelling; For He shall give His angels charge over you, To keep you in all your ways. In their hands they shall bear you up, Lest you dash your foot against a stone." Psalm 91:  9-12 “God, who made the wor...

So I was booked for an early and long shift at this event.  I planned to leave home at 5.15am to catch the train. While I was getting ready for work, I asked God to make the upcoming shift easy, fun and wonderful.  I also asked Him to make it so easy that I don't have to do anything. 😂 My journey to work was very easy and I arrived at work around 6.45am for a 7am start. At the theatre, I was allocated at, I checked the schedule. The talks were 20 mins long, back to back. My colleagues and I were required to scan visitors in, do queue management, ensure visitors had headsets and clean them after the talks finished, and make sure the theatre was clean.  We were even one staff short. It turned out we only had to scan visitors for the first talk, which was extremely busy. At the end of that talk, the organisers  came round to help us clear the theatre and clean the headsets. We also had a cleaner in to clean the theatre.  For the rest of the the talks, the scanning...
