Walking with God

I couldn't sleep as I was thinking of my job and how I didn't feel equipped, as my employer still hadn't provided the resources I had asked for. I was even thinking of the conversation I was going to have with my manager. After several hours of tossing and turning mentally and physically, I reminded myself that Jesus is Lord of all aspects of my life. I then repeated the following verse: "The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not want" (Psalm 23: 1) until I fell asleep. I was feeling really peaceful when I woke up the next morning.  Later, when I got on the train, it was packed full so I had to stand.Two stops down, a passenger got off near where I was standing. This young man, who was standing next to the vacant seat, asked me if I wanted to sit down. I said yes and thanked him. The first thing I noticed was the seat in front of me was a "companion seat" for a wheelchair user travelling with their companion.  It was the first time I'd  seen it and I took...

The following post was previously shared on Facebook on 21.10.2018. It is a great reminder about the power of Love.  I have added relevant Bible verses. ---- 21.10.2018 After having a heated conversation with a friend, when we parted company, I was feeling very hurt.  To calm myself down, I affirmed "Love dissolves grudges and grievances" a few times. About two hours later, the same friend called me back. I was expecting another row but his voice sounded totally different. He said he was feeling a lot more peaceful and happier. He also said me he's feeling inspired to read the Bible (which he hasn't done in ages) as he feels it might help him grow spiritually.  Blimey! That's the power of Divine Love. It melts the hardest of hearts!  💗 ---- Relevant Bible verses: "Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, clamor, and evil speaking be put away from you, with all malice. And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave yo...

At the staffroom, I was chatting to a colleague about AIs.  I said it's amazing how many people are trusting in AIs to run their lives. My colleague said instead of booking tickets through the museum's website, some visitors have been using AI apps to book tickets for the exhibition and they end up either booking the wrong tickets or being given the wrong information. Later, while I was invigilating at a gallery in the same museum, I asked visitors to carry their rucksacks in front to avoid hitting the contents. When I asked this man and he put his ruckdack in front of him, the alarm on his phone went off. He told me what the alarm on his phone meant. Apparently, because he was no longer carrying his rucksack on his back, the device had sounded the alarm as it "thought" he had fallen on his face. 😊 AI apps and technology are useful tools, but we must always remember that they are fallible just like their human creators. Only God is infallible. ❤️ ---- Relevant Bible ...

A few days ago, our boiler packed up. At least it didn't happen in mid-winter. It's going to take a few days to get it fixed. In the meantime, our landlord has provided portable electric heaters for our bedrooms. God is good.❤️ Smile, even though you're freezing. 😀

When a friend told me he was looking after his daughter's dog, DeeJay, I had to visit as I haven't seen him (the dog that is) in ages. We took DeeJay for a nice walk around their neighbourhood. I even walked him. It was so cute the way he kept stopping to sniff around and pee. When we got back to my friend's house, DeeJay wanted to lick my hands. Apparently, that's his thing. After giving both hands a thorough bath, he wanted to do the same to my face, but I refused.  He still managed to get a few licks around my cheek and lips, the cheeky monkey. 😀 Thank you, God, for my friends. ❤️ Here are some photos I took of DeeJay. He's the cutest Chihuahua ever. He's actually the only Chihuahua I've ever known. 😊

When I work at museums, galleries and art centres, we are given radios to communicate with the duty manager/DM. To communicate, you announce your position and ask the DM if they are receiving. The DM responds and ask you to send your message.  If the DM is sending the message, you respond by saying "received." When I receive a message from the DM, I act on the message, and vice versa. Put another way, if you do not act on the message, it means you haven't received it. The Bible is full of thousands of messages from God to help us lead a godly life. Every time we receive a message, it means we have understood and are acting on that message or are applying it to our daily life.  Thank you, God, for Your messages in the Bible. I am receiving them now. Amen. ❤️ ------ Relevant Bible verses: "And whatever things you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive.” Matthew 21: 22 "But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those w...
