"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
I am not really sure how people manage without faith. I feel like year after year I am placing more and more on God. I am learning to trust him more and more. I heard this song on Sunday, and it almost brought me to tears. I love the lyrics! “In oceans deep...My faith will stand...” this month has been full of a few things that have me a bit stressed, ok....really stressed. I have found myself praying at each turning moment, and telling God “ok, here I am again...take over, because I do not want to worry...give me the outcome that your will would have....God, please bring my soul to peace.” I bet God gets tired of hearing from me :-) I am constant. Luckily, He says I can do that! I can “bug” him with my incessant worry, and I CAN ask him to take the burden from me.
But, it is the trusting...after casting my cares upon Him....it is the REALLY letting them go that I struggle with. It is saying, “Alright God, here it is...please carry this for me..and help me to move on...” That is my hold up...BUT, when I heard this song I felt a sense of peace wash right over me. My feet fail me all of the time, and I cannot do this life, this parenting...this being a wife all on my own (well, I guess I could...but, I wouldn't do it well), I need God to step in and cover me, I need Him to cover me with his grace, mercy, and I need him to walk this journey right along with me leading and guiding me.
Rob said it so well when I was talking to him about these things a few days ago...this life is about doing the right thing...even if karma does not come back on me in this life....this life is not about getting my treasures HERE, it is about storing them up in Heaven. Jokingly, I said, “I WANT A BIG CROWN THEN!” No, I do not want a big crown...BUT, I do want to know that I have an eternity of no struggles, no uncertainty, no stress...so, I think struggling a bit here on Earth is well worth it when I am looking at eternity! And, the great thing about it is that in this life, here, I am not alone...I have the love of God and I can always talk to Him, I can always turn to Him, and I am allowed to toss my hands up and give it all to Him.
