Photos featured today deals with identity crisis of sorts.

- 1st 3 photos show only my backpack, having no identity in itself.

- The photo with huge red doors is the LFB - London Fire Brigade.

- Two doors away, there is a cafetaria called Fire Station.

- Whether it is owned by the LFB or not - such a thing cannot happen in Singapore.

- Like, you cannot use another identity in vain.

- The last two photos are kinda sad.

- A destitute woman sits outside Sainsbury supermarket with a sign that says:

Homeless with two cats ... spare change or cat food please.

- A homeless man sits dejectedly at a bus stop.

- Two real people, but without their rightful identities.

- In a vast and fast world - identities are lost.

- Only Abba can give us a truth-identity

- Not a true identity ... but an identity that is based on His truth in Christ Jesus

- When I put my faith in Jesus, Abba inputs into me an everlasting and unconditional identity.

- Through the Blood of Jesus, my identity is that of a dearly beloved child of Abba Father.

- And no matter what happens, I am this identity and this identity is me forever.

- Friend, don't be satisfied with merely a true identity

- Get the real thing - a truth-identity in Christ Jesus.

Sunday - this is a day that The Lord has made - I will rejoice in Christ Jesus and be glad in it!

- Pastor Robert Ferguson spoke on the blessedness of spending time with Jesus - reading His Word, praying, listening, receiving and rejoicing - He is The Light of the world, The Bread of life, The Wisdom of Abba, The Living Water, Salvation, Redemption, Grace, Righteousness, Resurrection Life, Shalom-peace, Blessing, etc.! It is always a blessing to 'walk' with Abba.

- I always like the lyrics of this song: He is everything I need! Yes, Jesus is everything I need - surpassing my studies, daily routine, etc.!

- I am amused that the bottles - looking like usual beer or vodka bottles - are nowadays made of plastic.

- Party's over, welcome to cleaners, litter and the opportunistic crows.

General photos:

- Outside Roehampton University main entrance - on way to Putney to visit bank and buy groceries.

- Visited Shepherd's Bush Market - a long row of market style stalls not unlike Change Alley and Johore pasar besar in the past.

- I like this stall at Shepherd's Bush Green, a short distance from the market - each bowl of fruit or vege is one pound.

- Wipe-Out, Bump cars, first aid - all ready to cater to the crowd this evening for the prom-like Summer Ball for RU students.

- Fireworks kick off the party at 9pm

- Ladies were dressed to the nines - minis, stilettoes, cleavages, bling-bling, gorgeous hair and scarlet lips. Men wore suits of all fashion. I did a little study from my window, dressed in my pyjamas. Some party goers spied me and waved to me - they pitying me - and I pitying them.

-By Abba's grace - although the band played, the ladies shrilled, the men sang all the way till 5am (that was the programme) - Abba let me sleep absolutely soundly at 12+mn and woke at 7am fresh to get ready to celebrate church - hallelujah!
