I have a day off today and it was so nice to sleep in and take my time getting up and around. They decided to cancel breakfast today and do brunch instead and to move the sunday morning service to this evening so that all of ships company could get a little extra rest. It has been such a blessing so far. I met up with a couple girls after breakfast that I haven't got to spend much time with since we all started our jobs and we went for a walk to the beach. Its about a 15 minute walk from the ship and even in the middle of winter, the beach is beautiful! It was so calm and peaceful and good to allow God's creation to speak quietly into my heart. One of the girls said she felt like we should pray. So right there, sitting on the beach the three of us shared how things have been going for each of us...what's been good and what's been difficult and we spent some time praying for each other and made a pact to get together regularly and to help keep each other accountable. It's so nice to have found a couple girls that I can really be myself with and share things on a little deeper level. God is so good and always gives us so much more than we deserve! Take some time today to thank Him for all the ways He has blessed your life and shown His love to you!
