Work - As mentioned in my previous post, I work in the Accomodation Department or Accom for short. One thing i learnt from this job is humility.
In the ship, there is this system for waste disposal called the "rubbish separation system". Yup, in order to adhere to marine laws we have to separate our rubbish into categories like plastic, paper, food, sanitary, etc. So it gets pretty frustrating when people do not separate properly and the Accom girls will have to separate it for them. The worse is to probably clean the sanitary rubbish. The smell and the sight is enough to get you go urghhh! And doing these is not the usual thing to do for city girls like me.
We have to clean toilets too. Doulos is Old with a capital O! Therefore, the flush system is pretty ancient too. So after you've done your stuff, if you don't hold the lever long enough it will ALL FLOW OUT. Also, Accom girls have to deal with gross things like guys who don't aim properly.
Anyway, when i first started I was not used to it at all. What i've described above is just a small part of what we Accom girls do around the ship. And i remember thinking to myself "hmmm, is this all worth it? this MUCH of work?".
But yes, ask any Accom girl.
While we scrub,
God is dealing with our pride.
While we fold clothes,
God is teaching us to do our best even when no one sees.
While we handle guest cabins,
God is teaching us to go the extra mile.
While we clean toilets,
God is teaching us to live unto Him and not to men.
When we work in the cafe,
God is teaching us to SMILE and be a good testimony in the midst of stress.
WHEN WE WORK IN ACCOM, GOD IS CHANGING OUR HEARTS.
