4th of July... it's hot and sticky here in Ontario.. I am having my own little "Independence Day Party" today.. thankfully I could find some red, white and blue stars and streamers and stuff to decorate right here and didn't have to drive all the way to Buffalo for it.. :P
what a day.. had a nice treatment first thing by the world's best Osteopath... a meeting with some people representing the reality of our postmodern world.. praying while listening to them, I hope I represented the Lord well..
surprise meeting with one of our pregnant girls, who came even though she was kind of told to lay low.. she is due in 2 weeks.. always so nice to meet with her and see how serious she is about being a good and well prepared mom.. happy to bless a mother of 4 months old twins with diapers, formula and some clothes.. always freely handing out His love..
it is so good to be back at Hope for Life.. being sick and sad was just not a good combination at all...
another day at the Center tomorrow and then I am off to the Cruise.. booked this I think in February of last year.. yes.. as a former Cruiser I could do it earlier than others and I even got a free Cruise jacket for it... how cool is that..
so it is finally here.. thinking back two years ago when I was heading to Seattle all by myself, stayed in a Hotel all by myself, got on the Cruise all by myself... so very broken and alone.. I am praising God for where He has brought me.. meeting with one friend I met on the last Cruise in Montreal and sharing a room at the hotel, meeting another friend I met on the Cruise on the ship.. and then finally meet a few of those very nice fellow fans I have connected with over the last 2 years..
there is a Meet and Greet right before the Dinner and then there is the Welcome on Board Event...
a L'Angelus Concert at 11:00 pm right where the "Single Cruiser Gathering" is.. ha... maybe I will go to that this time..
action packed week, with Michael W Smith Worship Night, Jeremy Camp Concert and all kinds of other cool stuff.. looking forward to the Devotions.. 7:00 am, bright and early.. a great way to start the day...
expecting great blessing again this time.. thankful to be able to do this.. my God is an awesome God..
OKay R u sure I can't sneak in your suitcase? It sounds so amazing. If you keep blogging with such description, I will feel like I"m there. Sounds so soul refreshing. Enjoy my sister. I'll be praying for everyone aboard. oh and give Smitty a big hug for me, even though I've never had the priveledge of meeting him yet.

you can try the suitcase thing if you like :) I shall keep you posted.. not sure how the internet connection will be, since I am not planning on paying the Cruise Line gazillions to be able to log into their wireless... mostly in Canada though, so I should be able to connect with my phone and then do the "Hotspot" thing to connect my computer.. we shall see..
ReplyDeleteI will try to get a hug in, not sure if that will work though :)
