The Prodigal Daughter Returns

"My times  are  in Your hand." Psalm 31: 15 ----- While I was walking to the bus stop, I was thanking God for making my day easy, fun and wonderful.  Suddenly, I remembered I had left my sunglasses at home. Oh no, I need it as it looks like it was going to be a sunny day. I  walked back briskly, got it and walked briskly to the bus stop, as I didn't want to miss the bus. As  I always leave super early,  I could catch the later one and still arrive early, but I still wanted to catch the first one. As I was approaching the bus stop, I noticed the bus lights were on indicating it was about to leave. To my utter amazement,  I saw the driver walking towards the Portaloo (toilet) near the bus stop.  There was now no need to rush. After the driver got out of the loo, he took his time and chatted to the bus driver.in the bus behind. He then finally got on his bus and drove to the stop and let us in. Isn't it wonderful how God, who controls time, inspired the driver to

"For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it." Matthew 16: 25 ---- After I heard about another celebrity who had committed suicide, it got me thinking about  life. I used to think life belonged to me and I could do whatever I want with it. I could live the way I want or get rid of it once I've had enough of living. There was a time when I was feeling really depressed and no longer wanted to live, but I couldn't  commit suicide as I didn't want to hurt my mum.  I decided to give myself a reason to live  by loving at least one person a day, which kept those suicide fantasies at bay. After my mum passed away, the suicidal urge returned with full force. I asked a Christian friend to pray for me which stopped the urge, temporarily. I continued with my purpose of sharing love. When I finally accepted Jesus Christ as my personal Saviour, I gave up my life and in exchange Christ became my everlasting life and

It is written in the Bible that God is in complete control and rules over all. (Psalm 103: 19l If God is sovereign and in control of the entire universe, why is there so much evil in the world? In other words, why does He allow evil to continue? The Bible tells us that because God is extremely patient, He gives us many second chances to enable us to repent or change our ways, as He doesn't want anyone to perish. (2 Peter 3: 9) That's why God allows men to continue in their sin. At a time of God's choosing, He brings down the proud. (Daniel 4: 37) One example in the Bible is  the life of King Nebuchadnezzar. God sent a  dream to the king to warn him about his sins and how he was exalting himself above God.  If he did not repent, he would temporarily lose his kingdom and be driven away from human society and end up eating grass like animals.  The king did not heed God's warning. After a year, he ended up going mad and lived like an animal for seven years. God then res

Usually when someone introduces themselves, I tend to instantly forget their name, even when the name is an easy English name. The only way I remember names is when I make an association with them. With non-English names, I have to keep asking and repeating them until they eventually stick. Where I work, there's a room some people ask about. Because I hadn't made an association,  I had to ask my colleague to remind me. I finally made an association that the name starting with an "F" is the name of a previous President. Now that I had made that association I knew I would never forget it. The next day, I noticed a visitor wearing a t-shirt with the same name on it. 😊 Another time, I was chatting to a work colleague about Superman. Suddenly, I noticed a visitor with a  t-shirt with the Superman logo. Very funny, God! 😆

So a visitor asked me a question. After I answered it, he said, "Thank you, Sue." I wondered how he knew my name. He must have seen it on my lanyard. I looked down and saw that my lanyard was hidden inside my jacket. There's no way he could have seen my name unless he could see through my jacket. I believe either God had revealed my name to him or he was an angel.  ❤️

"For You are great, and do wondrous things; You alone are God." Psalm 86: 10 "Great is our Lord, and mighty in power; His understanding is infinite." Psalm 147: 5 "Ah, Lord God! Behold, You have made the heavens and the earth by Your great power and outstretched arm. There is nothing too hard for You." Jeremiah 32: 17

"The Lord has established His throne in heaven, And His kingdom rules over all." Psalm 103: 19 ----- Today, as there were only two of us that had turned up for that shift, our manager asked us to work at the front gates. This meant we needed the guys on queue management to ensure we weren't overwhelmed with visitors. They also covered our lunch and tea breaks. The most amazing thing was although my colleague and I were busy, we were not overloaded with visitors. My colleague marvelled at how quiet it was and how easy he found working with me. Later, while we having our end of shift briefing, our manager told us she had been feeling stressed in the morning because we were so short-staffed. She thanked us for the way we had adjusted and handled the situation. I wasn't stressed at all as I knew God is in control. Thank you, Lord, for managing the queue and providing all the support we needed. ❤️

A few days ago, while I was volunteering as a steward at a church event, another steward told me her 16 year old daughter would be interested in volunteering at the museum I was working at.  She asked if I knew what the minimum age requirement was. I said I didn't know.  Another steward volunteer, who I happened to work with, offered to find out for her. Today, I returned to work after being off for a few days While I was having lunch at  the staff restaurant, this woman asked if she could share my table. We got chatting and it turned out she was a volunteer at the museum, which reminded me of the conversation I'd had at church. I asked her if she knew anything about young volunteers, but she didn't as she worked with older retired volunteers. (I found out later that the minimum age is 18). Of all of the hundreds of staff who worked at that museum, it's amazing how I had a volunteer sit opposite me at lunch. Only God could arrange that. That's what I love about walk

Today has been the perfect day for me, weatherwise. The morning started off rainy, then it stayed dry,  cloudy, cool, slightly sunny, with a slight breeze. As I was working outdoors, I had a jacket, hat and scarf, but took the hat and scarf off when it got warm. I then put on my goggles when it got sunny and took them off when it was cloudy. I wore my scarf when it got breezy.  I have decided 17C/62F is the perfect summer's day. Anything above that is a heatwave. 😆

For a couple of years now, someone has been courting me. I have been keeping him at arms length as I've been very wary of getting into a relationship with him. A couple of weeks ago, I finally decided to take a leap of faith nd agreed to enter into a serious relationship with him. So far, so good! Windows 11 is alright actually! I should have downloaded it a long time ago on my laptop. They must have ironed out any issues they had. I bet you all thought I was referring to a bloke, didn't you? 😆

"Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time, casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you." 1 Peter 5: 6-8  ----- On the bus, I noticed this guy wearing a t-shirt and showing off his bulging muscles. So I asked him to open a bottle of soft drink I was struggling with. He was very willing. Thank you, Lord, for sending me Hercules when I needed Your strength.❤️

For the last two weeks I've noticed a photo of this man on the Christian TV that I usually watch on my laptop. The photo reminds me of the evangelist, David Hathaway.  I wondered if he was okay and still preaching. Today, I was off work. During the day, I was relaxing in bed half listening to the Christian channel on my laptop and half snoozing. I suddenly woke up and turned the YouTube channel on. Right at that moment, I saw David Hathaway on stage at a Gospel Campaign. The event actually happened 5 days ago at Trafalgar Square, but they were showing part 2 of the video right at that moment.  David was giving a testimony about Jesus and the miracles he's experienced in his life. He even said he's now 92 and intends to appear at Trafalgar Square when he's 100 years old. Isn't it amazing how the Lord Jesus made me watch YouTube at the exact moment when the evangelist was on? Thank you, Jesus, for answering my questions. ❤️ https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Hathaw

"And He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature." Mark 16: 15 ---- Before Jesus ascended into the  Heaven, he commanded his disciples to go into the world and preach the Gospel or Good News. As Jesus' disciple, I also obey that commandment. However,  you won't see me at street corners preaching the Gospel, as that's not my calling. I preach the Gospel in two ways. The first way is by showing others my lifestyle. A while back, I woke up with a tooth absess with my jaw visibly swollen. My flatmate, whose daughter is a dentist, told me I had an infection and needed antibiotics.  She suggested that I should book an appointment with a dentist asap. I told her I would be fine. The next day when she noticed the swelling on my face had gone down, she asked me how I was feeling. I told her the same Spirit who raised Jesus from the dead, living inside of me,* had healed my tooth. As an Orthodox Christian, my flatmate knows exactly w

The other day, I was having a conversation with a work colleague, who is also a Christian. I told him people who know me tend to think I'm weird because of the way I think.  My colleague said someone who is truly a disciple of Christ is perceived as weird by the world because they don't think like people of the world.  I told him my mum once told me she didn't see me as human, she classified me as "something else" because of the way I think. Today I was chatting to my flatmate and some friends about pain and pain relief. My flatmate said to me "you don't get pain, do you? You have Jesus." That made me laugh. "I do get pain, and yes, I have Jesus. Jesus is my painkiller." That's why people find me weird because Jesus is my everything. ❤️

Today, I went to visit my brothers and sisters in Christ at St Paul's Cathedral. I've never attended a service there before. Now is the perfect time! Unfortunately, we were not allowed to take photos inside the church. Suffice it to say, it looks very grand inside.  After the service, I saw a statue of someone very familiar - John Wesley (founder of the Methodist church).  A visotor, who happened to be a Merhodist Minister from Anerica, asked if I wanted him to take my photo with John Wesley's statue. I said yes. I also returned the favour. https://www.stpauls.co.uk/

Happy May the Fourth, Star Wars Fans! 😆

 I believe the secret to eternal youth and eternal life is believing in Jesus Christ and that He lives in you (John 11: 25, Galatians 2: 20) and He is the same yesterday, today and forever (Hebrews 13: 8).  Jesus is the secret to eternal youth and eternal life. ❤️ ----- "Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live. And whoever lives and believes in Me shall never die." John 11: 25-26 "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 "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever." Hebrews 13: 8,

"That which is has already been, and what is to be has already been;" Ecclesiastes 3: 15 ---- I was telling my flatmate about a guy I was flirting with until I found out he was over 25 years younger than I, which put me right off him. "I'm not exactly Joan Collins," I said.  (JC's husband is 31 years younger than her). "You attract young men because you look so young," she said. "Another thing, he's non-Christian, which is a no-go area." "No point wasting your time on someone who doesn't share your values," she said. "That's the great thing I find about getting older - I can see the end in the beginning so I don't have to waste my time," I said. "That's a nice way to put it," she chuckled.  😆
