The only way that I can describe how I feel lately is through these lyrics by Kutless. I am taking the biggest step of faith that I could have ever imagined. I’m tired of following my own desires and doing what I want, while chasing after what the world deems “success”. Is following Jesus’s plan for my life easy? Not at all. Have I randomly started crying while thinking about leaving for so long? Yes. Do I want to leave my family? Do I want to leave my friends? Do I want to leave behind the people I love with the risk that they won’t be in my future when I return? No. Not knowing what is going to change while I’m gone is a really scary feeling. But, I am. God never said that following Him was easy, He just promised that it’s worth it. I don’t want to give up my entire life, but I can’t turn back after I’ve seen just the slightest glimpse of what God has in store for me on the World Race. I want to get absolutely everything possible out of the World Race and allow God to use me to my full potential.
What Faith Can Do
Everybody falls sometimes
Gotta find the strength to rise
From the ashes and make a new beginning
Anyone can feel the ache
You think it’s more than you can take
But you are stronger, stronger than you know
Don’t you give up now
The sun will soon be shining
You gotta face the clouds
To find the silver lining
Gotta find the strength to rise
From the ashes and make a new beginning
Anyone can feel the ache
You think it’s more than you can take
But you are stronger, stronger than you know
Don’t you give up now
The sun will soon be shining
You gotta face the clouds
To find the silver lining
I’ve seen dreams that move the mountains
Hope that doesn’t ever end
Even when the sky is falling
And I’ve seen miracles just happen
Silent prayers get answered
Broken hearts become brand new
That’s what faith can do
It doesn’t matter what you’ve heard
Impossible is not a word
It’s just a reason for someone not to try
Everybody’s scared to death
When they decide to take that step
Out on the water
It’ll be alright
Life is so much more
Than what your eyes are seeing
You will find your way
If you keep believing
Overcome the odds
You don’t have a chance
(That’s what faith can do)
When the world says you can’t
It’ll tell you that you can
You don’t have a chance
(That’s what faith can do)
When the world says you can’t
It’ll tell you that you can
