God's Help in Trouble

"God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble." Psalm 46: 1

I took my new tote bag with the slogan "Jesus loves Me...and You" to wor

As usual  I was over an hour early, so I headed to the staff restaurant to get some toast and hot chocolate.

When I finished my food, I thought I would go for a walk around the galleries. Just at that moment a security guard, who I am now friends with, walked in. I gave her a hug and asked how she was. She told me she was feeling upset as she had left her phone at a train station and really worried about someone stealing her personal details. She said she didn't have any money as she uses her phone to do transactions. I told her not to worry. First, I bought her breakfast. She was uneasy about this, but I told her the breakfast wasn't coming from me, but from God. I showed her my new tote bag with the words: "Jesus loves Me...and You." 

"See, it is God loving you through me," I said.

Next, she borrowed my phone to call her bank to block her credit card. Later, I bought her lunch. 

She also told me her manager and work colleagues had been very supportive and kind to her. She said the train company were going to let her travel for free. I prayed that she got her phone back.

Later in the afternoon, while we were scanning visitors' tickets, one guy I was with started having an epileptic fit.  We called for first aid assistance and an ambulance soon arrived. I trust in God to heal him.

Thank you, Lord, for always being present to help us in times of trouble. ❤️

Ps: My friend texted me to let me  know she got her phone back. Praise God! 🙏

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,...

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. ❤️

Shopping with the Holy Spirit

Image
Because my job involves standing up for hours, I needed to get new footwear as the cheap trainers I've been wearing have been very uncomfortable. I have several trainers which are very comfortable, but they are too colourful for work as your shoes have to be black. My ideal would be black trainers that could pass as smart shoes where the logo is either hidden or not that obvious. The first thing I did was check the website of my favourite brand of trainers, I found a pair I liked. Because they said they come in small sizes, I decided to visit one of their stores at Oxfird Street (Europe's busiest shopping street with 200+ shops) where I could try them on for size. After work, I caught the bus to Oxford Street. As the bus was driving  by, I noticed a shop that someone had recommended. (I actually have one of their trainers, but they are in pink and blue and not suitable for work). There was another shoe shop next door that I am also familiar with.  Should I get off the bus? Nah...
