Lord Let me be a "light house " for the Lost at sea

It was more than a hearts desire to live in Australia . About a year ago i felt the Lord calling me out of United States , the doors to my life were shutting all around me . And i remember as i was driving home from work one day it felt like i no longer belonged in America , like a ghost just passing through  the strangest feeling to know your there but only for a time . I told the Lord " Lord where ever you need me to go i will follow , send me " then after confessing that i though " just great you dummy what iif he sends you to Africa or Antarctica ?
i was not selective in where God was sending me ! But HE knows are heart , and In November 2009 I met Rob who lived in Queensland , and we feel in love and the rest is history ;)

So with me being a christian and trying to let my light shine , has been a challenge while sailing on the ship.
Nothing stops me from praying for other boaties in my silence. and at times i have chucked a note explaining Gods love and the Salvation of Jesus on it , with a prayer and a hope it will reach someone that needs HIS love . Once i met this lady in the bakery that was crying and i didnt even know her and i told her " i will pray for you dear " i t was as if i felt her heart breaking , she had all she could do to keep half a smile on her face .

Please dont get me wrong i have my moments i enjoy the sea , and have seen so much and feel so blessed
but i am a person that thrives on personal contact , and if i cant talk to someone about Jesus or just be there to comfort them i feel lost out at sea.   Letting my light shine on the sea , being a beacon for the Lost like a lighthouse leading the ships in from the darkness to a safe harbor to anchor , my desire is to be like that .
I know i cant lead them all to Jesus , but Lord let my light shine strong let the warmth of your love be that beacon for them in the dark passages of life . That reminds me of when we motor in the darkness and sometimes you cant see a hand in front of your face only the navigation map and the port and starboard light to guide the way . Jesus is our compass  the Holy Spirit is the wind in our sails  and through faith alone can we navigate safely to our destination .
