let me walk upon the waters
wherever you would call me
take me deeper than my feet could ever wander
&
my faith will be made stronger in the presence of my Savior.
I will call upon your name
keep my eyes above the waves
my soul will rest in your embrace
I am Yours & You are mine.

powerful. i cannot stop listening to this song. the lyrics are powerful & describe the point that I'm at in my life almost perfectly.
Spirit lead me where my trust is without borders:: my trust in him is BIG, it has to be-to leave the life I know, the life I'm "comfortable" in…the life where I have a job that supports me, a church community, friends & family who build me up, teach me, are patient with me, & love me, a life that's structured, a 9-5 life, a mediocre life.
I'm blessed to have the life that I've been given…
however, it's not the life I'm called to live. I know this is true-it's been revealed to me. Receiving that revelation is scary for me-yes this trip will be exciting, yes I'll be traveling and gaining "world experiences". But that's not what it's about people.
I'm going to third world countries.
places where my life could be put at risk.
where the water isn't clean to drink.
where the food is scarce and where homes have dirt floors.
where people have no hope.
Jesus, through me, is bringing hope to the world.
That's the reason I'm listening to what God has already spoken to me.
I'm not sure that I would have the "guts" to do this without Him, no I'm sure I wouldn't.
Hence why my trust is big.
I trust his plan for my life.
I trust that he will provide.
I trust that he will protect.
I trust that he will touch lives & change lives, change my life.
I trust that he will teach me & reveal things to me.
I trust that he holds me in the palm of his hand & that nothing can get me because I am His.
I call my current life mediocre-where I'm headed I'm sure any of the people would be jumping at the opportunity to live my life of luxury, so don't get me wrong-I do not take my current life for granted.
But this isn't my life, I've given it to Him.
Let me walk upon the waters, wherever you would call me: He's called me..the ONLY thing to do is obey. My eyes are focused on His face. We WILL walk on waters together.
Take me deeper than my feet could ever wander & my faith will be made stronger in the presence of my Savior: His plans are far greater than the plans that I have for my life. I've continued to strive at not putting God in a box. My feet, without Christ leading, will never take me to anything that's comparable to where God will take me. I don't know what that looks like because my brain can't fathom what God has for me..
What I do know is that I'm taking it one day at a time, seeking His face, & listening to His words.
I crave his presence, in his presence, my faith grows.
I will call upon your name
keep my eyes above the waves
my soul will rest in your embrace
I am Yours & You are mine
