Walk On The Water

Sometimes I fear that I'll get to the terminal and refuse to get on the plane...


What in the world am I doing?! Then I realize all of the miracles that have already taken place, and I am confident that God is faithful. I guess it's just beginning to hit me. And I really am excited. Don't worry, I'm not doubting my decision! haha
Last night, my family had a girl over that had attended Hillsong for two years and it was great to have some more information about everything. In a way it was overwhelming, because although I know a little more, there will be so much to figure out once I get there. 


But I feel ready.... I think. 


You know the peace that it talks about in Philippians 4? (verse 8...And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.) I totally can sense that. I believe God is protecting me so much. And comforting me more than I know! And I think he's protecting my family too. Honestly, my family and I don't talk about it more than we have to. We go over details, but don't talk about how much we'll miss each other, etc. I try to think about the new things I'm going to experience and not the things I'm going to miss. 


Below are the lyrics to "Walk on the Water" by Britt Nicole. This song has been a huge blessing, and every time I listen to it, I instantly feel God rebuilding my faith.

You look around, staring back at you
Another wave of doubt, will it pull you under? You wonder
What if I'm overtaken? What if I never make it?
What if no one's there? Will You hear my prayer?

When you take that first step into the unknown
You know that He won't let you go

So what are you waiting for? What do you have to lose?
Your insecurities, they try to hold to you
But you know you're made for more, so don't be afraid to move
Your faith is all it takes, and you can walk on the water, too

So get out, and let your fear fall to the ground
No time to waste, don't wait, and don't you turn around and miss out
Everything you were made for, I know you're not sure
So you play it safe, you try to run away

If you take that first step into the unknown
He won't let you go

So what are you waiting for? What do you have to lose?
Your insecurities, they try to hold to you
But you know you're made for more, so don't be afraid to move
Your faith is all it takes, and you can walk on the water, too

Step out, even when it's storming
Step out, even when you're broken
Step out, even when your heart is telling you
Telling you to give up

Step out, when your hope is stolen
Step out, you can't see where you're going
You don't have to be afraid
So what are you waiting, what are you waiting for?

So what are you waiting for? What do you have to lose?
Your insecurities try to hold to you
You know you're made for more, so don't be afraid to move
Your faith is all it takes, and you can walk on the water
Walk on the water, too
