underway again

back to sea on this beautiful Pacific Ocean. how life changes when you take in all the lines.  we departed from San Pedro, CA after completing our Helo Stan, onloading ammo and topping off our fuel tanks.  and now life is different.  i am fed 3 meals a day if i like, dont have the ability to cook, there is a new cappucino machine which will be the bain of my waistline.  but this is not my first rodeo, it is my 8th patrol and 6th down south to central/south america.  and i do truly enjoy it.  this time tho, i am leaving the one that i love back on shore.  i have never been in such a serious relationship and then gone out to sea.  it hurts my heart. but it will be better i think when Todd goes out to sea too.  it is hard when one of us is at home and the other out to sea.  it wont ever be easy, doing the job that we do, and the job that we love.

so i pray everyday for strength.  even though the Lord has already given us strength. I am a Christian, i have the qualities that the Lord has given me as his Child.  so i have the strength, wisdom, etc.  i still pray that i lead well, stay focused and keep motivated.

today is Sunday and the Sabbath.  i am trying to rest, read the word as much as i can and make prayer a priority. Sing praises to the Lord, O you his saints, and give thanks to his holy name. Psalm 30:4

be blessed
