As I sit and think about the journey I am about to go on I can't help but get a little nervous. I have done missions all my life and I started going oversees when I was 15 so that is not what is making me nervous. I think it is the time. I have never been somewhere longer than 3 months. This time I will probably not see my friends or family for a year! That is a scary thought. I know that I will make new friends and that my team will feel like family but I am still nervous at the thought of not being around the people I am used to. But I guess that is what getting out of your comfort zone is all about. I think that is why the song "Oceans" by Hillsong has been wrecking me lately. Every time I hear it my soul just screams. Here are the lyrics.
"Oceans (Where Feet May Fail)"
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
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
These lyrics are exactly how I feel and exactly how I want to be before God. We are the most vulnerable when we are out of our comfort zone and fully exposed before God. This is how I want to be. I want to be lead by God when I am the most trusting. When I have no borders holding me back. I want to be used by God in any way that I can.
