One More Time



This is a week of preparation... Preparation for another patrol... preparation for the last one.
and I release a big sigh as I type "last one". At this point, it only brings me minimal comfort, he still will leave and he will be gone for a while, but knowing there is an end to this is pretty exciting.

I am curious, as always, to see what the Lord has in store for me this time.

Today I was reminded of the prayer that is necessary - for that ship and every life connected to it for the next few months. Yup, the Lord has a lot He wants to do on that ship!! Join me, as you always do. Lord give us increased, incredible, child-like faith.

Hope to post more in the weeks to come.

    yes... hard to believe this is the final patrol for Nick but that the Jarvis will still need our prayers for all aboard after that!
    Looking forward to this new season. God's plans as always.. perfect!

    ah Becky...from your words I realize I can not even begin to understand what you and Nick go through each time he is deported, but as you said you know the Lord has something in store for you and it will bring glory to Him!!! Safe travels Nick and looking forward to seeing you both in CA soon and very soon!!! So proud of you both! I love you!!

All of our belongings arrived this morning! We have it all! Big truck, three huge crates and a team of 5 showed up on the doorstep at 8:45 AM this morning. They must have thought I was weird - as each item came through the door I got the hugest smile! Like "oh, there is the table from the Hargroves...and there are the couches...boxes of wedding gifts I have not opened yet!..." you get the idea. Here is our bedroom before... and after! Living room before... And after! Kitchen before... And After!! The movers only took one hour to get it all into the house. The first thing I did when they left? Sat down on the couch in the living room. I just remember sitting on them at the parent-Dellar's house and all the fun times I have had at their house; the BBQs, the prayer nights and Bible studies, cuddling up on them when Nick was gone (in Kona, Cape May, Virginia, Honolulu).

(not to mention all the appliances that I got and am dying to use!) I just love being home now! Here is me with my new amazing tea pot standing in one of the first open boxes. Here are our cups, plates and mugs sitting on our kitchen table - they are just beautiful! Here was my first dinner on our real plates!   Sunday I went to church and sat by the other two Coastie wives whose husbands are on the Jarvis. I came home and unpacked a few more boxes, then decided to end the afternoon with a run by the beach + jump in the water and layout session :) As the empty boxes get pushed closer to the door, I will take some more shots of the house and how it is coming together!
