Scaredy Cat

So Zeus, my flatmate's cat, doesn't like kitchen foil. He gets skittish around it. Ditto my nail file, but he's getting used to it. While I was changing the bin and trying to open the black bin liner, he ran out of the kitchen.  At first I was concerned and followed him asking him if he was okay. When he saw I still had the bin liner in my hand, he hid himself under the table. That's when I realised he was scared of the bin liner. What a strange creature! He probably thinks I'm strange too. 😀

Letting Go of Unforgiveness

At the museum I was working at, a large group of European teenage students and their guides came in.  While I was patrolling one gallery, I noticed a student breaking the museum rules. When I asked her to stop, she and her friend became quite obnoxious. I reported the matter to the duty manager. I also shared my experience with  a colleague and she was very sympathetic.  After work, I walked with a colleague to the local tube station. I noticed the same group of students standing by listening to their guide. When I arrived at the platform, there was a train already there, but the doors closed before I could get on.  I didn't mind missing that train as the next train was due in a few minutes. Suddenly, I noticed the same group of European students coming down the escalators to catch the train I was waiting for.  They spread down the platform. I walked to the far end of the platform as I didn't want to travel in the same carriage with them. When the train arrived,...

60 Revolutions Around the Sun

Image
Today is my birthday. I give thanks to God for giving me 60 revolutions around the sun. To me, the sun represents Christ, who is my life; and my trajectory around the sun represents my personal walk and relationship with Christ, which is unique to every born again Christian. I look forward to many more revolutions in Christ . ❤️ ----- Relevant Bible verses: "The righteous shall flourish like a palm tree, He shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon.Those who are planted in the house of the Lord shall flourish in the courts of our God. They shall still bear fruit in old age; They shall be fresh and flourishing." Psalm 92: "In Him was life, and the life was the light of men...That was the true Light which gives light to every man coming into the world." John 1: 4, 9 "Jesus answered and said to him, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God."” John 3: 3 "Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy ...

Makeup Ritual

Image
Makeup on, makeup off. Same old ritual. Sometimes, while I'm putting on my makeup,  the cat sits on my bed and stares at me. Maybe he's thinking "why do you bother putting all that gunk on your face?  If you wash yourself frequently like I do, you won't need to paint your face." 😀

To Love is to Do a DBS Check

To volunteer for this particular organisation, I've had to have an enhanced DBS (discosure barring service) criminal record check as I will be working with vulnerable adults and possibly kids. Having a DBS check has become the norm these days, at least in the jobs I've had. I have had enhanced DBS checks when I've worked as a carer, at schools, in church and as a volunteer at this hospital.  To work on set, casting agencies won't offer you work unless you have a basic DBS. I also need a basic DBS for my jobs in visitor experience, as I'm working with kids a lot of the time. I think it's sad that society has come to this that you have to do a criminal check to work with kids and vulnerable adults, but I believe this is society's way of loving your neighbour. I have always wanted to work for this organisation so I thank God for blessing me with this wonderful opportunity to be a blessing to others. ❤️ ---- Relevant Bible verses: "In this is love, not that...

Make-up Sign

I was thinking of a Facebook friend who always seems to notice 11:11.  When I went to Facebook around 3.30 am, the first post that popped up on my feed was from the same friend; and he mentioned he was on his way home at 11.11pm.  How amazing is that! I believe the idea of 11: 11, as a wake-up sign, comes from the Christian Bible. In John 11: 11, Jesus said “Our friend Lazarus sleeps, but I go that I may wake him up.”   Lazarus was already dead for four days when Jesus resurrected him. May we all wake up from our "sleep." ❤️ For anyone interested,  you can read the full story in the link below. (John 11: 1-44) https://bible.com/bible/114/jhn.11.11.NKJV
