Some days I want to run away. I want to pack a bag, find a beach, light a fire, sleep there, then hike for hours, wander through the bush, sing, and just hang out with God.
Me and Him and creation.
When I'm angry, tired, happy, emotional, peaceful, trapped, I just want to be there with Him. I know I can be with God anywhere, but its different in the bush. Jesus got to do it. He'd be with people for ages, then He'd just disappear up the mountains for a while.
I miss escaping to the great outdoors.
On my free day, I went for a walk along the queyside. I looked over at a floating jetty to see three big beautiful white swans standing looking right back at me. I was so excited! I climbed carefully over the locked gate (Germans have rules and regulations for EVERYTHING), and down onto the jetty with the birds. They didn't move a bit. Just stood there preening themselves and fluffing out their wings. So I just sat there and watched them for ages. They are so beautiful and elegant, but so absurdly shaped. They reminded me a little of the Pharisees. Weird I know. But they stand so proud on show for everyone to see, and they look so perfect and pure and white...so elegant and graceful...they know how to look good, and blow people away with their splendour. They are great birds to admire.
Further on my walk, at a resturaunt, I met an artist and a waiter who were both very inspired by the idea of this ship. They're coming next Friday! Please pray that they fall in love with God. That would be SO awesome...

Bethia! You are so cool! I'm so glad you posted on my blog because it led me to yours! Oh man. What the heck are you doing, anyway? It sounds like you're on some sort of mercy ship or cruise ship or... I don't know. But it sounds like fun -- except for the sick part. You write really well, and I just love how passionate you are about God. And you're not afraid to say anything about how you feel about Him. That's awesome. Keep it up!
p.s. you should totally come to Africa. I'm going back in June(I hope). Let me know when you want to come. Seriously. There's so much need there. And it's an amazing place. I love it. You will too.
You should email me sometime: lindsayhay@gmail.com
