Ok, so if I can just be completely honest for just a second… I have not fully attempted to engage with my fellow world racers… [we have a Facebook group] Now, don’t get me wrong I LOVE I mean really LOVE reading all of their post …. getting to know them…  and there are so many times I truly feel their pain, their hurts and their struggles I even pray for these girls [I just don’t let them know this] – and really it’s so much easier.. to just sit on the outside and ‘look in’  … truth be told I have never been so excited and at the same time so scared about something in all my life… [so as you can imagine fighting my own little battle of being an outsider and fully jumping in] 

 

God has been slowly working on my heart with this little issue over the past few days …. and because I have been looking in as an outsider I have noticed  a lot of us up against the enemy… I can clearly see satan is no where near happy that a bunch of God fearing ladies are heading out to love on the world and let them know about our Jesus!!! 

 

The other day as I was driving to work – I started listening, I mean really listening to a newer song by Hllisong – Oceans. The words hit me… this is it, this is us….  This is what it’s all about… 

 

                                               “Oceans (Where Feet May Fail)”

You call me out upon the waters
The great unknown where feet may fail
And there I find You in the mystery
In oceans deep
My faith will stand

And I will call upon Your name
And keep my eyes above the waves
When oceans rise
My soul will rest in Your embrace
For I am Yours and You are mine

Your grace abounds in deepest waters
Your sovereign hand
Will be my guide
Where feet may fail and fear surrounds me
You’ve never failed and You won’t start now

So I will call upon Your name
And keep my eyes above the waves
When oceans rise
My soul will rest in Your embrace
For I am Yours and You are mine

Spirit lead me where my trust is without borders
Let me walk upon the waters
Wherever You would call me
Take me deeper than my feet could ever wander
And my faith will be made stronger
In the presence of my Savior
[x6]

I will call upon Your Name
Keep my eyes above the waves
My soul will rest in Your embrace
I am Yours and You are mine
 
 
Needless to say – I was beginning to get pumped.
With a little desire stirring in me that I was no longer meant to be an outsider.. but to get to know these ladies… after all we’re gonna be family for the next year!! =)
 
Added bonus – a reminder that when ‘oceans rise’ my soul will rest in his embrace!! Why? I am his and he is mine…
