Believer

Yesterday on my way to church, I heard a song on the radio that brought tears to my eyes.  If you know me (and my mom) very well, then you should know this is not a very difficult thing to do.  It was a song I have heard time and time again, but only yesterday morning did the meaning finally sink in.  These words are very true and can be extremely powerful if we will learn to believe what they are saying.

I want to live this live unsafe, unsure, but not afraid
What I want is to give all I got somehow
Giving up letting go of control right now

‘Cause I’m already out here, blind but I can see
I see the way You’re moving
God how I believe that

I can push back the mountains, can stand on the waves
I can see through the darkness, I’ll hold up the flame
Take me to the ocean I want to go deeper
I’m not afraid no, I’m a believer

And so I lose this life to find my way and come alive
They can try to deny what’s inside of me
But there is more, can’t ignore all the things unseen

Oh I believe I can walk on water with You, Lord

When I walk through the valley of the shadows
When I’m trapped in the middle of the battle
I will trust in You
‘Cause trouble comes, but you never let it take me
I hold fast ‘cause I know that You will save me
I will trust in You, I will trust in You

Oh here I stand all alone waiting on you, Lord
Waiting on You

This song has really moved me.  Of course we cannot physically "push back a mountain" or "stand on a wave" because that is impossible.  However, if we can learn to surrender to the all-powerful King of the Universe, every seemingly impossible thing CAN become a reality!

Six months ago, I had absolutely no idea what God had in store for me.  I had come to a place where I realized that it was time for me to give up my own plans for my life.  You see, my plans rarely ever worked!  And even when they did, I was still left feeling completely dissatisfied.  Humbled and broken, I began to pray that God would lead me into the path that He had laid out for me.  The next thing I knew, doors were being thrown open from every direction making it very clear that something magnificent was awaiting me in Africa.  I decided to answer the call.  

Since then I have seen God answer many prayers, shattering any doubts I still had about the power of my Creator.  Everything that has simply fallen into place since my decision to go to Africa has only solidified my certainty that God has called me there for His bigger purpose.  

So in 6 days I will be getting on a plane and flying to the other side of the world, and I feel no fear whatsoever.  God's promises are true and I know that through Him I will be able to accomplish immeasurably more than I could ever even dream of on my own! 

I'm a believer.
