My Trip to Tring

I had to catch a train to Tring for a hair and makeup fitting. As I haven't been to that town before, I decided to get there early so I could explore the town centre before my fitting.

I had travelled there with my London mentality, expecting the train station to be in the middlr of the town centre. Turns out it was a 30 minutes walk to the town centre. I didn't even see any buses, which were few and far between.

After walking to the town centre, I headed to the local library. A library user recommended a local museum, which has stuffed animals and a local park  that I could explore. One librarian showed me how to get to the park.

The park was beautiful. One sure sign I was in the countryside was I saw bunny rabbits, which you never see in London. I also scrambled up one hill to get a good view of the park. I would love to explore this park again when I have more time.

On the way back, I went to the museum and made friends with this woman and her 4 year old granddaughter. The woman used to live around where I currently live and was  a school teacher.  When i told her I was going for a hair and makeup fitting, she told me her daughter (the little girl's mum) is a makeup artist and works on sets. The little girl asked me if I was a boy or girl because of my cropped hair. I told her I was a girl with short hair. 😀

As I still had nore time too kill, I returned to the library. One librarian asked if I fancied playing with two secondary school pupils who volunteer at the library. I played "Connect 4" and "Othello"  with them and got trounced (It was my first time playing Othello). I then had a chat with the boy and girl who were in years 9 and 10 respectively. Both attend grammar schools and were very bright kids.

Finally, I walked back to the s































tation where I was picked up by a minibus and driven to set for  my fitting.

All in all, it was a wonderful day!

I give thanks to God for His blessings. ❤️

What is My Function?

At this expo I was working at, I was helping visitors print out their badges with the scanning machine. Whenever I or anyone got close to the scanning machine, it would automatically scan the barcode on their badge and print out another badge. I found  it quite hilarious. 😄 I had to either hide my lanyard badge inside my jacket or try not to stand close to the machine. It got me thinking about functions. The function of the scanning machine is to scan barcodes and print out badges. In other words, the machine has been programmed to scan barcodes and print out badges. The machine doesn't care whether you did not intend for it to scan the barcode, it scans it anyway. In the same respect, I believe the function of all born again Christians is to be ambassadors for Christ.  All Christians are programmed by the renewing of their minds to be ambassadors for Christ.  We renew our minds with the Word of God/Bible. Within every Christian is the Holy Spirit, who is our Helper,...

About Angels

Do I believe in angels? I have always believed in angels. Years ago when a van came from nowhere and almost ran me over, someone pulled me out of the way. I turned round to thank the person, but there was no one there, at least they were not visible to my senses. I believe I was saved by an angel. When I followed the New Age, the belief was you could call on angels to do your bidding. Some people even worshipped angels. As a Christian, I now follow the teachings in the Bible. Angels appear frequently in the Bible. In the Bible: - Angels are God's messengers. For instance  the angel Gabriel was sent by God to tell the virgin Mary that she had been chosen to be the mother of Jesus. (Luke 1: 19) - Angels are sent by God to protect His people or fight various battles.(Psalm 91: 11-12; Revelation 12: 7) - Angels are not there to be at people's beck and call. Instead, they act on God's word.(Psalm 103: 20-21) - Angels are not to be worshipped. If I have a need, I can...

If at First You Don't Succeed

So I put a quiche in the oven to heat it up. By the time I checked it again, it was overdone. I had to scrape the burnt bits off. I didn't share that information with my flatmate, who was at work at the time. The very next day, my flatmate bought me the exact same quiche from the supermarket. I told her I had "cooked" a quiche the day before but it was more burnt than cooked. I believe God had inspired my flatmate to buy that quiche for me. It was His way of saying, if at first you don't succeed, try again.😊 Tomorrow I will have the quiche and be sure to follow the heating instructions. Thank you, Lord, for caring about everything that concerns me including cooking. ❤️
