Ha ha! So I never thought this would happen to me! Last month I went on a free cruise with a beautiful ministry, http://jchealingministries.org/, Rev. Debra Hoskins. A blessing beyond my wildest dreams! Who would have told me I was going to be on the biggest ship in the world for 7 wonderful days... for Free!! It turns out a lady that had payed for her ticket was not able to attend at the last minute and I was handed over the precious opportunity. I met amazing, beautiful people in Jesus who were also part of the conference on the ship. We worshipped, fellowshipped and recreated in God's luscious nature: sun, beach and fun! We made stops at Haiti, Jamaica and Cozumel, Mexico. The food was glorious! The meetings were rapturous, and all together unforgettable!
I even got to worship an hour before every morning and evening meeting, my favorite! God knows this is the one thing I could not take a vacation from, worshipping Him on some kind of instrument. My friend, Nina, (who also go to go for free!!) had taken her guitar. But on the first night, I wondered into the conference room early and found the piano. You see, I have an inner instrument-detection mechanism that leads me to the room with a lonely guitar or piano which beckons me to come and play it. It finds me every time ; ) Been that way since I was small and could barely walk. So it was, the piano found me and I kept finding it every morning and night thereafter. Words not suffice to express what worshipping Jesus means to me! This time, on a big, big ship, in the middle of the ocean, among raving waves, enamored by ravishing sunrises and sunsets (how I love those!), islands and sunny beaches, the spacious, roaring nothingness under a clear, moon-light sky... something really special happened to me... and I'd like to tell you all about it ; )
