Last Saturday was certainly the night for parties on Logos Hope! I had no fewer than four invitations to four different gatherings,
and, with some juggling, managed to attend all four! Of course the most significant was the party for my own PST group, which joined together in February 2007, oh so long ago… Even though I don’t spend a lot of time with most of these people on a daily basis, joining the ship at the same time does create a close bond. It was interesting to hear everybody’s future plans (or lack of plans) and pray together about them.
Of course this takes me on to a more personal topic – what I am going to do after February 2009 when my commitment on Logos Hope finishes. 
At the moment I am contemplating different options, including extending on the ship, more study, working in the recruiting team of OM in the UK, and, shock horror, actual paid employment! Maybe you could pray for me as I have to make some kind of a decision in the coming months!
Definitely not actual paid employment, obviously.
Well, I know how you’re felling. To choose the next step to be taken is a very difficult time… but I can say that it’s in these times that we can see the hand of God leading us and showing us where he wants to put us, and it’s very pleasant to see that He and just he is in control of all things. I’ll pray for you, for God shows you clearly where you must go and what you must do… and for He opens your ears to listen to his voice! God bless you! Jessica, 20, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
