It's all over...

So I am sitting here by the pool in Miami having just finished one of the longest weeks of my life. I know you are all going to say shut up about you cruise already, but this is my blog and I want to reflect on it.

Over all the whole week was amazing and full of great great fun, some excting memories and lots of hard work. I will start with the work side so the fun will come later. Kev and I are the bookstore and since we couldn't use credit card machines, we had to type the numbers into my computer manualy and such, so this means that every transaction that should normally take 1 min, took 2-3 and some times more. It was rough but still fun and I really love my job and some of the cool little perks that come along with it.

The fun times were every moment that I wasn't working. We did everything from snorkel in the reef's of Cozumel to swinging with stingrays, to feed 3000 Jamican's who were getting violent, to getting lost on one of the Bahamas Islands. It was great fun, and I hope that I can do it again next year. It was great!!!

A funny story on the trip was and is that each morning at like 6:00am, one of my roommates parents would call and wake there son up so they could have breakfast together. That is pretty cool if the kid would wake up with a phone call, or even a voice saying "Vince get up", This kid would not wake up... He would just sleep until either my brother and I got up and answered the phone. It sucked cause all he did each day was read and watch TV. I mean, the kid was on a cruise ship and didn't even do anything cool. Anyways, so after being awoken I would go down and set up for the service, and get ready to lead worship. I did some songs and such and it was just me and my guitar on a huge theatre type stage with like 1000 seats. The morning I lead it was packed out!!! I did "THere is no other friend" and "I could sing of your love forever". I did real good and it was awesome how everyone was worshiping along with me. It just felt so easy, and like I didn't have to dragg anyone through worship. They were all there and just wanting to praise God. Anyways, the cool part of the story is that after leading worship I had to get off the stage and walk by some big name speakers (notice I didn't name drop), and they told me that they really liked it and like my style. It was real encouraging as whenever I lead it is dragging the youth along for the ride with me and instead of us all working together and really going for it. All in all I loved it.

The cruise was fun, but I am glad to be off the boat and back to my normal 40 hour work week.

God is awesome!!!
