Keep in there for the pinapple!

So dont get me wrong here, im not the worlds biggest fan of the cucumber, but i would say i like a little bit of cucumber action here and there.

So when after a couple of weeks of the ship i see something rather strange looking in one of the salad pans i decide its prob best to take a closer look ... and well with further inspection it turns out to cucumber! not in the shape nor form that im use to back in England, but it was 100% cucumber! skin less, but cucumber all the same ...

So it would be rude not to grab yourself some action after so long without right? Well i did, and well it started off not too bad, different taste but then there was a strange taste on one of the bits, and i asked around the table and the other people were experiencing the same thing, some of the cucumber tasted pretty strange and it wasn't very pleasant! So of course being me, next time i saw it i felt like i should give it a 2nd try ... yup same thing, strange yucky taste!

So a couple of days later im working in the galley (thats what they call the kitchen here) (i will try and get some pics of where i work for you all). So we have a separate salad team, they sort out the salad and fruit and veg pretty much, and well i see they have some bananas, and well one of the perks of my job is i get to try stuff, so banana was tried, and well it was nice enough.

But then was the jackpot item ... Pineapple, different looking from England yet again, but it was pineapple, and well i wanted to try some!

And i did ... And no disappointment was found there whatsoever ... That be the best piece of pineapple ive ever had there is no doubt there! and yes indeed i be a big fan of pineapple back home! So this was a pretty good moment to be honest!

So here are my words for 2day ... I dont know where you are, what your doing or how your feeling today, this week, this month or longer. I dont know if you are in a stage of masses of pineapple, or somewhere that all that seems to be thrown at you is cucumber

But i do know this, when you put your faith in God weather you are in that hard place and it feels like there is no light at the end of the tunnel, or if you feel like you are at the top of the mountain and you can see the beauty of everything for miles and miles, God is more than enough for you. He will provide you with the strength.

So if you find yourself on that mountain my prayer for you is that you enjoy the view, but that you keep your eyes fixed on the one who made the view.

Or if you find your self in a tunnel and you feel like the way in blocked and there is no way out, my prayer for you is you will find strength in the one who is more than enough, He will rise you up on eagles wings and will be your strength when you are weak.

And if you are up the mountain or in the tunnel but feel alone and dont really get who this God is, or arent even sure if there is a God. In Matthew 7:7 it says "Keep searching, and you will find. Keep knocking, and the door will be opened for you." It is my prayer for you that you will seek him, for if you ask it of him then he will reveal himself to you.

So to all of you, i hope that today might be a day where you find a pineapple in your life.
