Miraculous Moment #8 - Chapter 2 - Docking in St Augustine -

Please Note that... as -

This is a "3-part Chapter" - Conversation-Posting

That This Blog-entry is In Continuation of Miraculous Moment # 8 - Chapter #1

Hello Again...

As I'd Previously Mentioned - in MM#8 Ch# 1 -

The Following "Prayer-conversation Based" Moment - Had Begun Unfolding -

While - I Was Currently...

Sitting All Alone; at Least in The Mortal-sense of those words -

On The Outer-deck Flybridge Lounging Area - of the Boat...

& Just a Few Hours Prior to When - We'd be Stopping at the Pubic-Access Marina - Located in St. Augustine Florida

!!!!!!

As We Have a Slip Reserved There... For the Upcoming 3 Nights & 2 Days...

So That We'll be Able -

to Fully Restock the Galley - & Top-off the Fuel Tank; $$$$$... Oouch...

& of Course - Also Have Enough Time Left Over...

To Head-out & Go Land-Exploring - Both -

St Augustine's Well-known Historic-District...

Along with the - Local Coastal-Wildlife... Which I've Always Enjoyed Photographing

Hence... Right Now...

Since I'm Sitting up Here... all Alone... in a Mortal Sense of that Phrase...

Peacefully Enjoying the Calming & Misty-Feel of This Salty Sea-Breeze Air

!!!!!!

& While My Husband & Our Four-legged Deck-hands; or should I say "Deck-paws"?

Are Currently - At this Present Moment -

Either Situated "Directly In Front of" - or "Actually In" - The "2-Captain" Chair

Down Below in the Inside Pilot Station - on The Main Deck Level area

Or Perhaps -

They're Just -

Basically Canine-Crew-Relaxing -

Directly Below our - "2-Captain" Chair -

And Please Note That - I'm Using the Term - our "2-Captain" Chair Right Now...

Simply Because - I Wasn't Actually to Sure Back Then... Anymore Than I am Today...

Concerning - Which One of Them -

Be It - 1 of - the "Mere-Mortals" -

or - The "Smallest" of the 4-C.s

(Meaning - the Tiniest of our - "Currently Cruising Canine Crew")

Whom was Actually... Once Again...

Succeedingly - Claiming "Their" - "Proper-place" - in "Their" - Canine-Captain's Chair...

Anyway...

& Although I Enjoy Reminiscing - Via all of the Photos; taken during that boat trip..

I Should Likely -

& Before I'm "Once Again" Becoming -

Naturally Written-Conversation-Sidetracked...

During "Another one" of - My "Verbally-Dictated" Discussions...

Like What'd Previously Happened; with the Rooster Being Fully Responsible for it...

In the Previous Chapter #1 Sidetracking-Conversation...

Quickly Backtrack - Right Now - to What I'd Mentioned -

at The Very Beginning of This Written-Discussion

!!!!!!!!!

Which is That -

Because - I Was Currently - During that Particular Moment...

Sitting Up Here All Alone... in The Mortal Sense of that Phrase

The Only Thing... That's Periodically Distracting Me...

Is The Occasional Sea Life... As its Passing-by; on the Mirroring-water Around me

Which... Hence... Again... is the "Logical-Reason" Why - I'd Quickly Assumed...

That -

What Better time - Than This Peaceful off-coast Cruising Scenario -

For Me to Perhaps "Try" & Have... a "Undisturbed"...

Personal & a -

"COMPLETELY UP-FRONT" - "FULLY-OPEN" - & therefore - a

"EMOTIONALLY-RELEASING"

Conversation"

with -

"My Spiritual-Boss Upstairs"

??????

Now of Course... Unfortunately...

& Basically Due to -

My Being a - "Rather Straight & Upfront"... "Verbalizer"... in The First Place

!!!!!!!!

Meant That -

I'm Obviously - "Not" the Type of Being -

That Believes in Following Suite - with Those that Prefer to Practice the -

Verbal-Characteristic Behavior... of Somebody That Likes to -

"Politely" -

Just Verbally-Beat - Around "ANY" of Those - Normal "Pre-discussion Bushes"

But Rather - I Often - Tend to Get - Straight to the Point -

Or in This Case -

"THE QUESTION"

That I'm Wanting a "Fast Acting" - "Logical Answer" to

????????

And so... Hence -

My Emotionally-Verbalized...

& Regularly - "Emotionally-Polite" -

"Inner-Prayer-Conversation"

When Quickly Being Transferred - at That Moment -

Directly From the - "Unedited-thoughts"...

Into an - Actual Slew of - a Purely "Emotional-based Prayer" -

Was (at That Moment) Being Released at - an Extremely -

"HIGH-VOLUME-RATIO"

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Which Had SUDDENLY Now... Begun - "VERBALLY" Unfolding...

Something Like This -

& Again - These Words Were Unfortunately - Being Verbalized - In a Rather Frustrated -

& Overly-Emotional Tone -

"Hello...

"THERE"

!!!!!!

I Had Quickly Paused here... to Take in a Deeeeeep Breath....

Before *&^%$#@!* Emotionally-Saying -

"OK... Now... Look... I Know That -

"YOU"

Already Know - What I'm About to Ask -

"YOU"

Right This Very Minute"

!!!!!

"Just as -

"YOU"

Also Know "WHY" I'm About to Ask

"YOU"

This Particular Question... In The First Place"

!!!!!!!

"As -

"YOU"

Have Proven to Me - Multiple Times in The Past...

& Basically Just Like -

"YOU"

Did in The Park - The Day Before this Trip Began;

Shortly After I'd Given up My Driver's License"

!!!!!!!

"The FACT That -

"YOU"

Always Know...

What Tomorrow Holds in Store for Any One of Us"

SIGH... Sigh... sigh... sighhhhh...

!!!!!!!!!!!!

"And so... Please Understand... That - I'm Sorry To Be - Asking This of -

"YOU"

Right Now!"

!!!!!!

"BUT...

"I'm Just... Currently - Really Desperately Needing -

"YOUR"

"Spiritual-Help & Guidance"

Again - & -

"A.S.A.P."

In Order For Me - to "Somehow" Be Able - to FULLY Understand...

Why "Exactly" - I've Had to Make Certain "Drastic" Changes In My Life

????????

"&" so... Could

"YOU"

"Perhaps"... Give Me - Some "Form" of a -

"Reassuring-Message"

That I'll Know - Must Obviously Be Coming to Me - Through -

"YOUR MIRACULOUS ABILITY"

To Always Provide -

"YOUR"

"Spiritual-Reassurances"

For me?"

?????

"Just Like What -

"YOU'VE"

Previously & Continuously - Done For Me"

!!!!!!!

"And so Perhaps - It Could Be - Just Like that Relayed-Message - From -

"YOU"

That I Had Received - Through the Lady in The Park...

a Short While Back, on the Day Before, We'd Left Our Previous Home-base"

"And Please Know That... I'm Truly Sorry... To Be Asking -

"YOU"

For Any Form - of a "Confirmation Message" From -

"YOU"

To Happen in My Life - "Right Now"... "A.S.A.P."

!!!!!!!!

"BUT - It is Just - THAT - Like I Said - ... Sigh...

I'm Currently - & For - "SOME UNKNOWN REASON" to Me... Sigh Again...

Desperately Needing to - "Confirmingly" Know...

ONCE AGAIN...

That -

"YOU"

Are Always - Going to "Continue" To be With Me"

!!!!!! SIGHHHHH !!!!!!

"So That I'll "Somehow" - Be "Miraculously Able"...

to - "Once Again" - Fight off - All of These -

Dark-emotions - That Are Slowly - Right Now - During This Boat Trip -

Trying Really Hard - to "Once Again" Fill me... With Their -

Really Strong & Emotionally-Overpowering -

Feelings of - "Negative-Doubts" -

"& - Also" -

Their "Dangerous-Slew" of Intensifying - "Low Self-worth Beliefs" ...

Concerning Both Myself... & Even in - My Actual-Purpose in Being"

"And so Again... I'm Sorry to Be Asking This of -

"YOU"

BUT... Would -

"YOU"

"Please"

Send me... Some Form of a -

"Spiritual Message"

That I Will Know - Without Any Doubt... Must be Coming -

Directly From or Through -

"YOU"

Amen

"As We're Going to be Arriving Soon - at Our New Homebase...

"Which I Won't Be Able to - Just Take off From -

So That I Can Somehow Help Others... By Volunteering... Like I Used to...

Since I Can No Longer Drive"

Sighhhhh... SIGHHHH... & sigh...

"&" - It Was Just - As I Had Finished - That Last "Repetitive-Request" Sentence...

That the Distant-images of St Augustine's Shoreline Structures...

Were Slowly Beginning to Appear...

On The Bow-Portside

!!!!!!!!!

Which I Knew...

Meant That I'd Soon Be having to Prepare - The Bumpers & Lines for Our Arrival...

The Moment We Began to Turn "&" Head Inward - Towards the City's Coastal Shoreline

??????

"And So... Before Heading Down to The Pilot House...

Where I'd Then Be Able to Hear - The Docking-Instruction Response...

That My Husband Would Soon Now Be Receiving... Over The Radio...

Via The Deckhands... Whom I'd be (within an Hour or so) Tossing our Docking Lines to

!!!!!!!!

I Hence - Quickly Brought an Emotional-Closure - to My Verbal-Pray-discussion -

By Slowly Releasing - One Final Emotional-sigh...

SIGHHHHH.......

While Also Giving Thanks - OF COURSE - To My -

"SPIRITUAL-BOSS"

For The Safe Journey That We've Had so Far...

& For Taking the Time Today... To Listen to Me Emotionally -

"VENT-IT All-Out"

& Thereby - Enable Me - to Inwardly Release & Hand-Over "All of My Problems" to -

"THEM"

Amen

As Any Person - Always Feels Better - Whenever They Can "Verbally-Vent Out" &

In The Process - "Emotionally-Release"... Any of Their Bottled up - "Fears & Doubts"...

Directly To -

Somebody - or Perhaps in My Case - on That Particular Day -

"Something That's Lovingly-Pious"

Which a Person

(And Especially those Experiencing - Any Form of an "Emotional Turmoil" in Their Life) Can Have -

"Full Faith & Complete Trust"

Both -

In & Through

Now Fortunately - As It Was Only Around 2pm - on That Gorgeously Warm Day...

This Meant That -

Once We Had Finished Docking at St. Augustine's City-Marina...

& Were Able to Get "Most" of The Boat's Salty-film Hosed off of it...

Within Just Over an Hour or So: Following our Docking-Arrival

!!!!!!!

That Hence - Although There Was Still "Enough of a Sea-Salty-residue" Film on it...

To be Preventing the Boat From Glistening... The Way We'd Liked it to Be...

That it Was Still "Cleaned Off - Well-Enough" - At least for The "Time Being"

So That Nobody - While Walking Along Either the Port or Starboard sides...

& In The Process Touching Their Clothing (or Skin) up Against it...

Would Suddenly Find Themselves Being Covered -

With Air-Dried-Remnants - of Any - Sticky-white Salty-Sea Residue-film

!!!!!!

And Because -

With The Boat Now - Sufficiently "Hosed Down" Enough -

We Also Knew -

That We'd Now...

Be Able to Somewhat - "Saltless-Ly" Relax - Later on Today...

While Sitting Outside on The Stern-lounge Area...

Which Explains Why -

We'd Unanimously Decided to - Postpone Giving the Boat a "Full Washing" Today -

& Had Instead Chose to Begin the More Thorough Clean-up - Tomorrow Morning

!!!!!!!

So That We Could "All" (Both the Humans & also The 4-legged Deck-paws) Instead -

Enjoy the Rest of Today...

By Allowing our Sea-Legs to Be Grounded - While We Headed out & Explored...

The Variable Historic Streets & Alleyways - With All of Their Interesting Shops...

Which are Located in the Heart of St Augustine's Downtown Historic District...

Before Everything Began Closing in Just a Few Hours

!!!!!!!!

Now Of Course... It was Because - The "Whole 4-Paw Crew" Had Departed With us...

When My Husband & I - Went Ashore... That Day...

& Were Therefore Also - Continuously With us -

While We Wondered in & Amongst Those Streets, Allies, & Variable Shop Crevices...

!!!!!!!!!

That - This Meant - That My Husband... Had The Perfect Excuse...

To Optingly-Say That - He Obviously "Couldn't Go Into" Any of The -

Chick-flick Type of Stores...

That I Was "Naturally" Being Drawn-into

$$$$$$$$$

BUT - That I Could Always - Still - Simply Go Into Any One of Them... On My Own...

That is - of Course... If I wanted to...$$$$$$ & Which - I of Course "DID"... $$$$$

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Since Hubby Had in Fact Said That - It'd Be "OK & Fine With" Him -

If He Was "Having to" -

Just Wait For Me - While "Once Again" Just Sitting out There - on One of the -

"Waiting-husband; or Partner" Sidewalk Benches...

& of Which - The Historic-district of St Augustine... Has Kindly Provided -

For All of The "Shopper-Waiters"... Like my Husband; for instance...

So That He (& Our Crew) Could Just Sit There - And Patiently Wait for My $$$ Return...

& Just Like They'd Already - Repetitively Done - For Me on That Trip -

Like For Example - When We Were All Together - Town-walking - in Historic Key West -

& of Which They're Shown Doing - in The Previous - Key West Photo Below

Now... I Clearly - Still Remember...

That Although...

I Did in Fact... Find Myself Being Drawn to - Certain Items & Trinkets -

That Were on Display in The Little Shop... Which I Was Currently Browsing Through...

In an Alleyway Section of the Historic-district of St Augustine

$$$$$$

The Fact That -

I Was Still Able to Maintain "Purchase-Control"... at Least For The Time Being

$$$$$$

But That - I Was of Course - Also Taking - Visual-Notes of Certain Things...

That I'd More Than Likely - Be Coming Back & Looking at Again...

At a More "Appropriate Time"... Like When My Husband Wasn't Currently With Me!!!

So That He Wouldn't be Able To - Give Me That Repetitive Slew of -

"Why Do You Actually Want - or EVEN NEED - To Buy That?"

Purchase-preventative Questions!

!!!!!!!!!!

And so - With All Items of - "Future-purchase Possibilities" Mentally-Filed away...

For When I Head This Way Again (Without Hubby) I Began Stepping Towards The Exit -

When Suddenly -

The Woman Working Behind The Cash-register Counter...

Quickly Called Out to Me -

& Her "Somewhat Confused Sounding" Words - Went as Follows -

"Excuse Me...

I Have something Here For You"

!!!!!!

I Replied -

"What do You Mean?"...

"Are You Giving Away Free Samples or Something?"

??????

She Replied -

"No We Don't Ever Do That Here"

!!!!!!

I Then Responded With -

"Then Why Are you Wanting to - Just Give Me Something - For Free?"

??????

She Replied This Time - in a Even More-Confused Sounding Voice -

"I'm Sorry But... I Can't Actually Explain What's Happening Right Now!"

"And so I Actually Would Like it if -

You Just Waited Until You're Back Outside This Shop...

Before You Went & Opened This - or Even Just Looked at - What's in This Bag"

!!!!!!

She Hastily Continued Explaining The -

"Unknown to Me Yet" Rules...

& Also the "Gift-receiving Conditions" -

In Lieu of That "Unfolding" Moment...

While Slowly Extending Her Right-Arm Towards Me...

In Order For Me to Be Able to Receive - The Small Paper Bag...

Which Held Inside it "Something" - That I Evidently Wasn't Supposed to -Either - Question - or Discuss - With Her

!!!!!!!!

& - While Saying - in a More "Affirmative Voice" -

"And... I Am Sorry to Say This -

BUT - I Also Need to Ask -

That -

You ALSO - Don't Come Back in Here - Afterwards"...

"After You've Actually Looked at - What's in It"

!!!!!!

"And Be Expecting Me to - SOMEHOW - Be Able to Explain to You...

What is Actually Happening Right Now"

!!!!!!!

"As I Have Never experienced "ANYTHING" Like -

"THIS"

Before"

!!!!!!

"And so - I Don't Know What to Say to You About -

"IT"

Other Than -

"SOMETHING"

Is Telling Me - Right Now...

That I Am To Give This Item To You"

!!!!!!!!!!

I Now - Just Smiled Back - Towards Her Obviously Confused-Expression...

While I Slowly Began Feeling - Those Well-known -

By That Current Time-Period in My Life - Spiritual-Goosebumps...

As They Softly Began Tingly-Commencing - Down & Over top of - My Entire Being

I Then Asked Her -

"Do You - Believe in a -

"God" -

& or - What Some People Would Call -

"Our Creator"

??????

The Woman Replied -

"Yes I "Really" Do"...

"But - Why do You Ask?"

??????

I Replied -

"AND - Are You right Now...

Feeling Yourself Being Covered With...

These Tingling Goosebumps...

That Are Actually Blanketing Your Entire Body?"

?????

She Replied... & In a Rather Surprised Way -

"Yes - As a Matter of Fact - I Am Actually Feeling -

"THEM"

Right Now...

All Over Me"

!!!!!!!!

I Replied -

"Well... I Want You to Know That -

You Can Just Relax Right Now...

& "Obviously" Not Worry -

About Trying to Explain to Me What's Happening...

or - Why You're Giving This Bag to Me"

?????Amen?????

"Because I Promise You - That I Won't -

"Be Having too" - Come Back in Here...

After I've Opened It...

And I'm Suddenly Able to See - "Whatever" it Is -

That You've Put in There - For Me"

!!!!!!

"Because Although - I Don't Have Any Idea - At All - Right Now...

"WHAT IT ACTUALLY IS - THAT YOU'RE GIVING ME"

I Do Though - "Already Know"...

"Why"

You're Giving it To Me"

!!!!!!!

"In The Same Way That I Also - Truly Know...

For Sure -

"WHAT"

Is In "FACT" - Actually Giving You That -

"Tingling-Goosebump" Feeling - Right Now"

She Quickly Asked - In a Obviously "Searching-Voice" -

"What do You Think -

"IT" Is -

"THAT"

Is Giving me

"THESE TINGLING GOOSE-BUMPS"

?????

"& Why - Do You Think- I'm Feeling All of

"THIS"

Right Now?

?????

I Replied -

"I Don't Just "Think" - BUT Rather -

I Truly "KNOW" - For a Fact...

"WHAT"

Is In -

"FACT"

Happening Right Now"

!!!!!!!!

"Because Those Tingling -

"Goose-bumps"

That Are Blanketing You"

"RIGHT NOW"

!!!!!!

"And Also -

"THAT UNEXPLAINABLE FEELING & SPIRITUAL-VOICE"

That Is -

"SOMEHOW"

Telling You Too Give Me - That Item...

Whatever It Might Be?"

!!!!!!!!!

"Is All Happening - too You - Right Now -

SIMPLY BECAUSE -

"IT"

"Meaning -

"The Loving-Spirit"

That You Can Actually Feel - is "All Around You" Right Now - While -

"They're"

Giving You That - "Goose-bumping Tingling-Aura" All Over Your Entire Body -

And - is "SOMEHOW" -

"Miraculously-Speaking"

Directly To You - Right Now...

Through Words - That Don't Actual Have Any Sound - "At All" to Them -

Although - You Can in Fact - Literally "Hear Them Being Spoken" to You"

"IS"

"In Fact" -

"The Very Same -

"Spiritual Power"

That You Told Me - a Moment Ago - That You -

"Pray to Regularly"

& That You Truly" -

"BELIEVE IN"

!!!!!!!

"Which is Why - I Know - For a -

"Biblical-Based - FACT"

That You Don't Need to Be - Feeling Either - Confused or Scared...

About What is Happening - Right Now"

!!!!!!!

I Then Held Out My Hand - as She Continued Passing the Small Bag Towards Me...

While Smiling & Saying -

"I Want To Really - Thank You of Course - For You Choosing to Listen to -

"THAT VOICE"

As - I Really Appreciate What You're Doing Right Now...

Although - You Have No Idea - Just How Much This Actually Means to Me"

!!!!!

"And so - All I Can Really Add to This...

Is - "Thanks Again"... & Please Know That - I Will Be Praying That -

"IT"

Continues To Reach Out & Touch You... Just Like

"IT"

Has Done Today

!!!!!!!

For I Know - From My Own Personal Experiences - That You're Truly Being -

"Blessed"

By

"IT"

Working Through You"

I Now Turned...

And Exited the Store...

While Obviously Feeling - Way More "Inwardly" Relaxed - Than When I'd Entered it;

Or (&) Especially in Comparison to - When I Was Having That -

"Emotionally-Venting"

"Spiritually-Upward Directed"

Conversation Prior to Our Docking-Arrival - Earlier This Afternoon

!!!!!!!

And - (of Course) - While I Was Approaching My Husband...

His First Words Were-

"What Have You Bought"

??????

To Which I replied -

"I Didn't Purchase Anything"...

I Paused - While Replaying in My Mind - Everything That'd Just Unfolded...

Before saying -

"The Woman Working in There - Just Gave it To Me - For Free"

!!!!!!

My Husband - of Course - Responded -

"Why Would She - Have Just Given it to You For Free"

???????

I Responded - While Smiling - & as The Goosebumps Began to Once Again...

"Lovingly Intensify Throughout & Over My Entire-being"

"Because "Whatever" This is - It Isn't From Her - or That Store -

In The First Place...

& - I Know That - She's in FACT - Just a Messenger... For My -

"Boss-Upstairs"

"Whom"

I Also Know That -

"Whatever - Is in This Bag -

"IS"

"Actually From"

I Slowly Began Unfolding - the Slightly Creased Top of the Small White Bag...

Before - & With Soul-Searching Anticipation - Excitingly Reaching in...

And Carefully Retrieving from it - The ... ... ...

To Be Continued in -
