... so many times
before, you have to trust God for he knows the best way for your life
and he might lead you where you least expect it. Trusting God is
never easy especially when you don't see a thing in front of you.
That's what I felt, what seemed, for the longest time. And then the
way cleared up little by little where I least expected it. Back to
ships! And there was no doubt in my mind that this was for me –
again. Coming back to ships after over a year was one thing. Working
on the world's biggest cruise liner another. I was anxious to see how
it was gonna go on the Oasis of the Seas. It was great! I reconnected
with a few friends from previous contracts, visited places that I
grew to love and thought I'd never see again, and I simply just fell
in love with my job again! After a short fill on the Oasis I was
offered another ship for a full contract – which I declined. And I
thought, why not do another few fills?! It's great to get a peak at a
new ship, the team, the itinerary, and then go back home for a short
vacation. Now I'm already at the end of my second fill. I've been on
the Grandeur of the Seas for the past couple of weeks and I've been
loving it. Also, due to some communication problems between my
scheduler and the manager at the time of my arrival, I was assigned
to work in the nursery with children under the age of three. This has
been a blessing in disguise since though at first I had no wish to be
part of the nursery staff, I simply love working with those little
ones now.
So concerning trusting God for he knows
best – it shows to be true again and again in my life. He's leading
me a way I had not anticipated but which I love the more I walk it. I
realize everyone's life is so unique and special in so many ways. I
want to be in awe of the creator always. I'm thankful for the freedom
he's given me to explore the world and to live my life to the
fullest.

I wrote the above only hours before a
major fire on the Grandeur of the Seas. And I wasn't sure later if I
still felt the same way about what I had written or if anything had
changed because of what had happened... These are my last couple of
days on this ship and I can't wait to get home to actually realize
what happened. I will keep you posted with another update as well as
pictures. So stay tuned ;-)
