Not knowing the next step can feel overwhelming, but I’m learning again what it means to walk by faith and not by sight. After an unexpected visa denial forced me to leave Greece and the Bluewater DTS sooner than planned, God gently redirected me back to England to focus on new projects and fresh direction—reminding me that even detours are part of His design, and that trusting Him step-by-step is the real adventure.

Some weeks the weight of responsibility and sacrifice feels heavy, and I find myself wondering what life might have looked like if I had chosen the easier path back home. Yet even in the homesickness and hard days, God keeps reminding me that obedience is worth it. As we train and disciple future crew for the ships ministries, I’m learning again that His strength—not mine—is what sustains this calling, and that everything we do is ultimately for His glory.

Life feels full to the brim these days—coordinating schools, building training programs, managing websites, serving on base, and preparing the next generation of missionaries for life at sea. It’s busy and stretching, yet deeply life-giving, as I watch God weave together big dreams, practical skills, and patient trust into a calling that’s bigger than I ever imagined—and somehow perfectly timed by Him.
