Today has began my journey around the world. My parents and I left this morining to drive down to Georgia where I will be leaving from. Trying to get everything together has seemed very overwhelming and the prospect of leaving everything I know for almost a year is becoming increasingly intimidating. So this evening as I have been trying to regain focus and relax I was listening to a song, Freedom of the Sea, which I have heard many times before, but meant so much more to me this evening than it has before. As I listened the one line that continually popped out to me was "doubt is saying got to stay, faith is saying sail away." However, while for me stepping out in faith and sailing away is actually taking me away, the Lord calls all of us to step out in faith and sail away whether that be leaving home or staying where we are. Our doubt is constantly trying to hold us back, but I am so ecnouraged be Hebrews 12:2 which tells us that Jesus is the "founder and perfecter of our faith." The Lord has provided the faith we need to step out the only question is will we be obedient or will we let our doubts hold us back. I want to encourage you set sail in faith as well wherever the Lord has called you to be right now whether if that is at college, at home, or somewhere else. What will your choice be, held back by doubt or setting sail in faith?
