I wanted to post a quick blog, and just let y’all know how things are going! I have survived the 10-person cabin now for 1 month and 3 days!!! Praise the Lord! I have to admit, the 10 person cabin is not as bad as I had expected, but don’t get me wrong, there are challenges! :) God is definitely teaching me a lot throughout this process. I don’t know for sure how long I’ll be in this cabin, but it will probably be until we leave the Caribbean.
God has definitely been working and moving here on board, as well as here in Kingston.
One of my favorite parts of this week was actually when I was vacuuming early in the mornings. I have taken the advice of some of the previous Angels to pray for different people and different activities while I’m cleaning different areas of the ship. For instance, when I’m vacuuming the Hope Theatre, I am praying for the people that will be sitting in that very room later on in the day. When I am cleaning in the Logos Lounge, I am praying for my home church, Mount Vernon. When I am climbing ALL these stairs, I am thanking Jesus for who He is and praising Him, as well as thanking Him for each of my supporters and prayer partners. When I am cleaning the toilets, I am praying that God would teach me the lessons that He has for me that day. So, that’s just a few of the locations that I am frequently cleaning and the things I am praying about while doing it.
Today, (Saturday) was my E-day. We sent 3 hours on Deck 4, connecting with people, and just talking with the visitors on the ship. For about 2 hours, I was face painting! This evening, I was team leader for a team of 5 that went to Trenchtown. We went and did an hour long kids program. I really didn’t know what to expect, so it was interesting! :-) I absolutely love the children here in Jamaica. They are so precious and are so anxious for someone to love them. They love playing with your hair and petting your white skin! We did a quick mini presentation of the various jobs on board the Logos Hope. We had a Galley uniform, an Angels shirt, a book fair shirt, a deck uniform, and the engine room jumpsuit. The kids dressed up in the uniforms, and we explained what the different jobs entail.
Another aspect of the ship that I really love is the Devotions each morning. It is such a blessing to be able to come together as a ship’s company and thankful for the encouragement and challenge each morning. This week, we have had a guest speaker, and he challenged us to really take time out of our busy days and schedules to encourage one another.
I had the privilege to work with a Vision team this past week and get to know some great girls from Florence, SC. They were here with their school for 1 week, working in each of the departments.
I hope you all are doing well. I am so thankful for each of you! God bless you! Keep serving Him!
For His Glory and renown,
Bethany
