Song 23...

My mom and sister are visiting me here on the ship as we sail to Kota Kinabalu. My sister brought this cd along and i am in love with the music. It is by a South African artist called Joe Niemand. The name of the Cd is 'Glory to the King' and is one of the most beautiful cd's i have ever heard ( i know it is a bold statement to make but hey, if its true then its true!)

Here is a song inspired by Psalm 23...it is simply titled 'Song 23'

The LORD is my Shepherd
I have all that i need
He rests me in green meadows
Beside peaceful streams

He renews my strength
to honour His Name
and though i am walking
the valley of death
i will not be afraid

Because You're right here with me
You're right here with me
to comfort and protect me

You prepare a feast for me
in the presence of my enemy
at Your table You honour me
with blessings and security

Your unfailing Love
i know will follow me
all of my days
into eternity

And i will live with You
in Your house my LORD
eternally...

you with my heart

i see you sitting across from me
i see you playing with my heart
i see you throwing it up in the air
i see you catching it with your hand
your toying with my heart...arent ya?

i also see you
you looking at me from a distance
you i dont want to hurt
you with the secrets i do not know
your not toying with my heart...could you?

and You...You i dont see
You hold my fragile heart
You will never toy with me...not You!

disappointment...or not

The Princess of Thailand is coming to visit our ship. I am working with my Boss to coordinate this. Before all this happened, i asked one of my new friends who works in the Government to arrange a tour for some of our crew.
Last night, someone mentioned that as a result of HRH's visit, no one is allowed to be onboard when she is here. Now the tour is seen as our way of getting rid of the crew...

Sometimes efforts to bless is seen as curses instead. If only THEY knew how hard we have worked for them to be here. It makes me want to go out there and give them a piece of my mind...NAH!

The visit has been a blessings so far. People coming to the ship and buying bags full of books. Divine appointments happening all over the place. Relationships are deepening and Jesus is being preached to this nation...

Many things are happening that can encourage me to see the glass half empty when God has done an excellent job of clearly showing me how full it is.
