Midgett Adventures~ #7 Refueled

January 24, 2010

I was blessed with the opportunity to attend divine services today. The same Coastie who led the Bible Study Wednesday also preached a good message today. I thoroughly enjoyed every moment of it.

Today wasn’t quite as busy as passed days mess cooking since it was a Sunday. I was able to help out in the kitchen cooking! I prepared the lettuce for the salad bar with an aspiring FS (food service specialist), set frozen cookies on a cookie sheet to be cooked, and prepared the potatoes to be baked. I had lots of fun especially having as little break from dishes. This will be my last week as a mess cook for now at least. After this I’ll have to hit my quals hard and finish them up. It’s hard to believe I am almost there…God has been so faithful and good to me throughout this whole long process. He has been my strength and comfort as I have felt overwhelmed and worried.

We’ll be heading up to Victoria, Canada here pretty soon for a port call (only for a day though). After that who knows where we’ll be headed. We’ll be back onto the high seas, breathing in the beautiful salt air, and taking it all in! Such is life as a seaman.

I shall end this post with a note on what God has been teaching me so far on this patrol. I think the big thing He’s been challenging me is to not grow weary and lose heart in this race I am running as a Christian, but to fix my eyes and all that I am on Christ. I have been convicted and challenged to spend more time in the Scriptures, reading God’s Word but also studying it and memorizing it. Another thing that goes along with that, which God has been convicting me of is to not live today on yesterdays strength---in other words do not try to sustain my Christian life off the things I learned yesterday, but to continue learning new things. It’s easy to skip Bible reading and think that what I learned yesterday we’ll be good enough. You can do that for a while but soon you will starve yourself spiritually. So always live today finding strength from God’s Word.

Destroying Our Idols

God's Will or Your Own?

THE MISSION

THE MISSION

Written for my family as they move to Cameroon, Africa to share Jesus love with the people there.

Rejoicing in all God has done.
In your lives, I see Him displayed
As your greatest treasure of all;
Your mission: to proclaim His name.

Fix Your eyes on Christ…Run hard to the goal.
Consider the work He has done, He has saved your souls!


Press on, HOPE IN GOD…IN HIS HANDS you are safe. UNDER HIS WINGS…you are held---
you are HELD BY GRACE.
Take up your cross, follow Christ, let His praises resound.
Be BROKEN AND SPILLED OUT
as you journey HOMEWARD BOUND.

Cheering you on as you go
As you make much of Jesus today,
Considering all else as loss
Compared to the Savior’s name.

Fight the battle of faith…stand firm in Christ.
Trust Him with all of your heart, give Him your life.


Press on, HOPE IN GOD…IN HIS HANDS you are safe. UNDER HIS WINGS…you are held---
you are HELD BY GRACE.
Take up your cross, follow Christ, let His praises resound.
Be BROKEN AND SPILLED OUT
as you journey HOMEWARD BOUND.

Praying for you in my heart.
May God’s sustaining grace push you on
To follow Christ outside of the camp,
Calling the nations to join the song!

Jesus is mighty to save
For while yet sinners He died in our place.
Shout---shout His praise For He has given us grace!

Press on, HOPE IN GOD…IN HIS HANDS you are safe. UNDER HIS WINGS…you are held---
you are HELD IN HIS GRIP OF GRACE.
Take up your cross, follow Christ, let His praises resound.
Be BROKEN AND SPILLED OUT
as you journey HOMEWARD BOUND.

Take the Adventure
