Trusting in Jesus

While I was travelling on the bus in south London, I noticed a bus with the destination "Foots Cray" which I found rather amusing.  I decided to write a post about it on Facebook.  An error message came up that it wasn't posted so I discarded that post.  I tried again, but the same message came up and I discarded it. I wondered if my post had been censored for some reason. When I visited my friend at the hospital, I told her about my attempt to post about Foots Cray.  I came up with reasons why it hadn't been posted. Maybe it was a secret code or it's a crazy name?  We had fun with those ideas. When I left the hospital, I took a photo of a tree near the hospital and posted it on Facebook and there was no problem.  I then noticed a friend's post saying he was grateful Facebook was now back. Aha, so that's why I couldn't post hours earlier. When I don't have the full picture, I make up stories and scenarios that are not true. When I trust in the Lord...

Funny Names

So I discovered there is a place in south London called Foots Cray. There's also a road in south London called Ha Ha.  I think I'll stick to living in north London, we've got more sensible names. 😂  Here is a photo I took while I was in south London. At least they still have trees 

Michael Jackson Fan?

Zeus, my flatmate's cat, doesn't like noise. The moment we start chatting near him, he's off.  The worse thing I can ever do to him is sing, as he finds my voice irritating.  While I was getting ready for work, I was watching Michael Jackson's video, "Beat It" on my laptop. Zeus came in my bedroom to say hello. He not only sat down next to the laptop, he didn't mind me singing along and ruining the song. He even rubbed his head against the laptop. When the next Michael Jackson video,  "Smooth Criminal", came on, he sat quietly and listened to it. Zeus was either putting up with the noise because he loves me or he's a fan of Michael Jackson. 😂

If I am What I Eat

If we are what we eat, I should have fins as I eat a lot of tuna. I also eat a lot of red grapes, which turns me into wine. I eat lots of pasta as well. I have no idea what that makes me! 😂 Thank you, God, for providing foods that I love. ❤️ Photo of my meal - jacket potato with tuna mayonnaise and sweet corn

Why Everyone Needs Jesus

 I like hearing testimonies about how new believers come to Christ and how Christ is transforming them from the inside out.  However, I believe extreme cases testimonies from people who were previously addicted to drugs, criminals in prison may not encourage non-believers to come to Christ. What do I mean by this? Most people are law abiding citizens who consider themselves good. Some  give money to charity and volunteer their time to charity, and there are lots who follow various religions. If you think you are not perfect, but you strive to be a good person by doing the right thing, why would you need a Saviour?  It's the real sinners like criminals, abusers and drug addicts who need to be saved.   That's why it took me ages to accept Jesus as my Saviour because I believed in God and considered myself very spiritual and was striving to be a better person and volunteered for various charities. I even studied the Bible and lived by Biblical principles....

Maturing in Christ

Thank you, Jesus for giving me Your life. ✝️❤️ ---- Relevant Bible verses: "Jesus answered and said to him, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.”  Nicodemus said to Him, “How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter a second time into his mother’s womb and be born?” Jesus answered, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit."" John 3: 3-6 "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new." 2 Corinthians 5: 17 "I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me." Galatians 2: 20

I Love to Love You

While I was lying in bed and being perfectly still with my eyes closed, I heard a voice in my head singing: "I love to love you, baby. I love to love you." I've never heard that song before. Even though the pitch of the voice sounded high, I couldn't really tell whether it was male or female.  It could have been sung by a male with a countertenor voice. I have recorded the ditty on my phone and I've been humming and singing it to myself. I love you too, Lord. ❤️ ---- Relevant Bible verses: "Be still and know that I am God." Psalm 46: 10 "He who does not love does not know God, for God is love." 1 John 4: 8 "We love Him because He first loved us." 1 John 4: 19
