Wow it's been a crazy few weeks here. Our ship stayed very busy in May and June, but it seem all our plans in June were foiled one by one. We were one day away from a four day liberty port in Dubai, UAE when, for reasons beyond our control we had to turn around and go back to home port. So instead of enjoying all the fun and games we had planned, we ended up working on the ship in Bahrain. That was just one example, there were other instances in the first half of this month where our plans just had to change at the last minute. But we keep working hard.
Our crew has a basketball team I am a part of. It is a lot of fun; we are pretty good.
We are down to less than two months from returning home. I am afraid this will seem a very long time to me; please pray. I had a good day off last Saturday. I listened to a good sermon online from the first chapter of Hebrews referencing the 45th Psalm. The message was that Jesus is a King forever. He set up the kingdom on earth he has ever intended and will not need to return so He can get it right. I sang some songs to myself from the Old Baptist Hymns and felt refreshed. I am looking forward to the RMA so I can renew my strength. Consider this passage from Isaiah 46: 9-11: Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and there is none like me, declaring the end from the beginning, and from the ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure: Calling a ravenous bird from the east, the man that executeth my counsel from a far country: yea, I have spoken it, I will also bring it to pass; I have purposed it, I will also do it.
