Change. Humbled. Honored. Growth. Reliance. Persistence. Peace. Love.
Along with three other amazing squadmates I have been asked to step into a new role during this journey of the World Race. I have been asked to squad lead. I consider myself extremely honored and blessed to be able to serve my squad in this way. As I reflect upon this new stage in my journey I find it difficult to find the words to express my excitement and all of my feelings. I found that I can help relate the feelings I have to the song Oceans by Hillsong. So here are my thoughts and my prayers as I step into this new stage.
God is calling me out of the waters. He has called me to take a step of faith into a place that is unknown but a place that will cause me to rely so much more on Him. It’s a place of excitment, a place of unknown, a place of humility, a and a place of growth. Without a shadow of a doubt I know my feet with fail. I am not perfect, I do not have all the words, I am not infinitely wise, but I know God is. In these new oceans that are deep, deeper than any waters I have tread through it all my faith will stand. God’s grace is like an ocean that goes beyond my imagination. His hand leads and guides me into new places that He has called me too. And while I may fail and I may fear that I am not equipped or qualified He has never failed me and won’t stop now.
So Holy Spirit I call on you to lead me where my trust is without borders. Where I infinitely trust you, hear from you, and follow you without my flesh limitations. Let me walk upon these waters wherever you call me, whoever you call me to, and whatever you call me to do. Take me deeper than my feet, my faith, my trust could ever wander or even fathom wandering. I know that my faith will be made stronger in the presence of you Jesus my Savior who will carry me through.
I will call upon your name every day, every hour, every minute. I will keep my eyes above the waves of trails, the waves of attacks, the waves of exhaustion, the waves of uneasiness. And when the oceans rise my soul rest in your embrace. I will rest in your steadfast love, wisdom, humility, truth, words, grace, mercy and who you are because you are my God your love never fails and you are the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow.
Here are two blogs my teammates have written about this new season:
