Where Feet May Fail

"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 love this song but this morning it took on a whole new meaning for me. I have been following a page on Facebook about a girl who fell and is now paralyzed. Today she had a video of her singing this song and then a thought struck me. Would I be singing this song if I was in her shoes? Would I have a smile on my face? I was really challenged by her faith and trust in Jesus. Then she sang some words that really struck me and started to really challenge me. "Spirit lead me when my trust is without borders. Let me walk upon the waters, where ever You would call me. Take me deeper than my feet could ever wonder and my faith would be made stronger in the presence of my Savior!" Am I willing to walk upon the waters, where ever God calls me? In the past couple weeks I have not been willing to walk upon the waters for fear of failure. I did not keep my eyes above the waves. But I am His and He is mine so I will keep my eyes above the waves and I will call upon his name when storms arise. Becoming a nurse seems impossible. Nursing school is the wave that I see coming in the distance and I have turned the opposite direction and have started running. When it crashes in me I'll go down and I won't get back up. I have to run! Then something makes me turn around and walk at the wave. I take a step into the water. I see the ocean coming closer. Everything within me wants to turn and run, but I will keep my eyes above the wave!
                    " Take me deeper than my feet could ever wonder." I have this big dream of doing something huge with my nursing degree but I often just look at it as one of my many large dreams that won't ever come true. Normally those dreams eventually go away but this one has stuck with me for awhile. This dream of mine has only been shared with a few people and sometimes I try to forget it because it seems so impossible. When I heard the words, "take me deeper than my feet could ever wonder and my faith could be made stronger in the presence of my Savior" , I realized the dream of mine will take me deeper than my feet could ever wonder and my faith will have to be made stronger! My faith and trust will be made stronger because my dream will not come true unless God opens doors. Today my dream is in His hands. Now I just have to be willing to walk upon the waters where ever He has called me and keep my eyes above the waves! In a couple blogs from now I might possibly share my dream with you all but for now, lets all be willing to walk upon the waters where ever God calls us. Lets all keep our eyes above the waves! When oceans rise my soul will rest in Your embrace for I am Yours and You are mine!!
