My last Few Days of Work on the Africa Mercy







Well i only have two more days of work left in the Galley on the Africa Mercy. I havent been spending very much time blogging because I have been trying to stay afloat with being here and not on the internet. I have been blessed with so many people so many situations that my heart is on overload. I work with Paige, the girl in the picture, and she is such a great fun, out going girl. I have truly enjoyed the time that I have gotten singing worship songs while cutting cucumbers or peeling carrots for 400 hundred people. I have found that worship is the ultimate gift of staying in close relationship with the Lord. I am encouraged on so many levels when i can sing my little heart out to a song that humbles me in the Lords presence. When just one song make my entire day a different approach to living it, or a brighter one just because my heart is in the right place. Its amazing how if you take the time in the morning to have the right priority your life changes for the better not only for that day but you also have that right mind set for life. Spending the time with the Lord is more important and much more rewarding than watching a movie or spending your time some other way... being still before the Lord is breathtaking. As i sat up on the top deck the other morning I was in awe of who God is once again. I hope that i will continue to have that feeling and that mind set for the rest of my life. I desire for the Lord to continue to put me on my knees, humble myself before him. I have a bitter sweet feeling of leaving the ship. I look forward to continuing my growth in another part of the world.
