I Surrender All - Revisited9

"And do not present your members as instruments of unrighteousness to sin, but present yourselves to God as being alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness to God. For sin shall not have dominion over you, for you are not under law but under grace."  Romans 6: 13-14

----

I have been practising surremdering everything to the Lord. I don't always remember to.

When I got up this morning, I surrendered my whole being and every moment of my day to the Lord.

I left home earlier than usual to catch the bus to the nearest tube station. When I arrived at the station, the  platform was chock-a-block with passengers. There was a notice informing passengers that there was a severe delay. An announcement came on advising passengers to find alternative routes to their destination.

I started wondering whether I should catch the bus. Do I have enough time to catch the bus and arrive at work on time? I then reminded myself that I was surrendering everything to the Lord including my journey.

Immediately, an announcement came on informing us thar an empty train was due in two minutes and the next one would follow in 12 minutes. When the empty train arrived, we all managed to get on though there were not enough seats for all of us. I had to stand for 3 stops and then got a seat for the rest of my journey.

I arrived at work early.

The day was going well until I had a disagreement with a colleague about an issue. After I discussed  the matter with the duty manager, I was still feeling angry and frustrated. I guess I had forgotten to surrender that part of my day to the Lord. Just as well, it was almost my lunch break.😆

During my.lunch break , I decided to walk around the gallery to look at some artefacts. I then went to see an exhibition.  I got chatting to a member of staff in the gallery. During our conversation, he talked about his friend who recently passed away. I surrendered the rest of my lunch break listening to him.  I then returned to work.

The rest of my day was filled with laughter and joy with my work colleagues.

When I arrived home, my flatmate offered me some of her roast chicken, which was delicious.

I surrender my body, soul, spirit, every moment of the day, and everything that concerns me to the Lord, so help me 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...
