Caribbean here we come!

We've left London and now are at Cork, Irland. Yet our time here is already coming to an end. We've passed the ISM inspection (International Safety Manegement) two days ago and are in the final preperation phase for the Caribbean.
Which ports are coming up? Here's the list: St Vincent and the Grenadines, Grenada, Trinity and Tobago, Saint Lucy, Barbados and Guayana.
Towards the end of London (the 28th of June) I was able to go home for a few days for Melanie's (my sister's) baptism. It was an unforgetable moment and being able to see my family again did me a lot a good.
I am now going through life boat training, learning all the different positions, I must be able to take on the responsability for every one of the positions.
While I was home I was asked how I was doing at a spiritual level and to give them prayer points.
Honestly I find that I am getting closer to God every day but only to the limit of comfort (it means that I still have control over my life).
Though I have come to understand that God is calling me to give him control over everything and I'm having difficulty saying yes out of fear of not being able to do what I want to do. The first step for this is financial dependance on God.

Prayer Points:

- That I come to a point that I follow God fully without being afraid of losing anything for I have everything to gain!

- That I may have a long lasting love for those that do not know Christ.

- That I be ready physically, mentally and spiritually to serve God in the Caribbean where we will a whole different experience.

Thank you so much for your support! It does a great difference in my life!
