God's Everywhere

God's everywhere. It's been so apparent to me on this voyage so far,
and it is awesome! There's this waiter on the outside deck that
clears our dishes every day, at every meal. He's from a Caribbean
island I think. He always brings a smile to my face because he's
always so happy. He's always singing to himself and is so kind to
everybody. When I was in Dominica I had lunch the first day on the
ship and all of a sudden I hear him and this other lady (life long
learner or faculty or family) singing "Soon and very soon, we are
going to see the king." I got really excited when I heard that, as
that was my favorite church choir song, and obviously I joined in and
sang along.

Today when I was getting up from lunch he took my plate for me, and I
decided to ask him how his day was going. What he said made my day.
He said, "Oh it is wonderful. You know why?" He points to the sky.
"Because of the big guy up there. He's so wonderful to me. He blesses
me so much man. Jesus loves me this I know, for the bible tells me so,
little ones to him belong, they are weak but He is strong." I gave him
a high five and invited him to worship service and bible study, but he
said its too structured, but he prays everyday.

How awesome is that? These people...imagine that happening in America?
A waiter you've never even introduced yourself to who you only say
"thank you" to? It doesn't happen.

I was going to go to a bible study tonight and when people asked me
what I was up to later I told them, and a couple guys who I've hung
out with for a while were like, "Oh, I think I'll go with you."
Unexpected..AWESOME stuff! We were sitting in a classroom waiting for
people to show up when another friend pops his head in and goes, "what
are you guys doing?" and we say "bible study," and he goes.."oh, I
think I'm gonna join you." Like, what?! I couldn't believe it .How
awesome?!

We had a great bible study and shared the many stories of how we've
seen God throughout our voyage so far. Afterwards my guy friends that
so unexpectedly decided to join said that they enjoyed it and were
glad they came. The one guy said he used to go to bible study in high
school and then stopped freshmen year of college.

So I was pretty pumped about my day today, and had to share. I'm
seeing God everywhere. Lovin it!
