Pray for me y'all 2

That was me, Kathryn, who is going on the Action team. Steve gets to stay at home and enjoy a week of freedom haha!

Pray for me y'all

I'm off on a week of adventure into the world of the unknown. I'm off on my Action Team tomorrow. Six of us from the ship are going to spend a week with a load of teenagers with issues - drugs, alcohol and abuse. The lady we are going to work with says we will either come back "wounded" or "grown up." Not sure I want to be any more grown up than I am but I know what she means.

In the words of the small child being carried out of a church service by his father:

"Pray for me y'all."

"That was close!!!"

Ok I have some eye drops from the nurse on board for conjunctivitus, I went to drop some in one day but I stopped and I said "that was close". "What...?"

I had alomost dropped some teatree oil in my eye! the two bottles are similar!
Ouch that would have hurt - anyone know what that would have done to my eye??

The 4000 ton rust bucket called home

I think I must be a late bloomer. This blogging thing has been going on for years and I'm onloy now catching on. I don't know whether thats cos I'm not so hot on sharing my feelings but hey, I'll give it a go.

So what's my life like? ...Strange, varied and remarkably uncomplecated. I live on a ship with 200 other people from 46 different countries around the world. We all speak different lanaguages and like different things and we all get on (for the most part!)

We work, eat, sleep, play and live on this 4000 ton rust bucket called home.

We've been here for 20 months, over half our married life together and in September we leave. We don't know where we are going we just know that God is calling us home (earthly home that is not real home)

So how am I feeling? excited, a little concerned, hopeful but above all calm. I know that God has it all mapped out even I don't know what that map is yet. I would like to know tho' just so I know we are on the rigth track.

I know that if I focus on God and on knowing him more then I will naturally know his design for us - even so I'm not the most patient person in the world!
