Where Feet May Fail

So tonight in class we were asked to think of a song that has meaning to us and then reflect on why it's meaningful. I thought of the obvious childhood songs that I remember my mom singing to me. Although, one song came to mind immediately that explains where I'm at in my life right now. I'm halfway through my dual Master's degree in School Counseling and Marriage/Family Therapy. I'm not going to lie, it's tough. It was a definite calling that I felt led to do or else I can't say I would have taken it on right now while the boys are so little and life is already crazy enough. I love my job and I'm not getting this degree as a way out of teaching. However, I truly believe in listening to that little voice, which I know is God... I know His purpose and plans for my life are far greater than what my plans are. I have felt completely at ease with the decision ever since I started and deciding to go to JBU was the best decision I've ever made. I have grown spiritually so much just through these classes.. Our classes are more like bible study/small group and they are purely amazing! My professors have challenged me beyond my comfort zone and it's made me do a lot of soul searching and I've spent a lot of time in my bible. I know there is a reason for this season of life I'm in and that's just an awesome feeling.

So onto this song... I chose Oceans (Where Feet May Fail) by Hillsong. This song is about having complete faith in God... stepping out into the unknown and just following the Lord with all your heart. Trusting that God knows the plans for my life makes me feel completely safe. 

"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"

This is my exact prayer for my life right now. I want to go wherever he will call me. I want my faith to be stronger than ever before and my relationship with the Lord to be greater than it ever has. I'm immediately filled with the Holy Spirit when I listen to this song and praise Him. I don't know what I will end up doing with this degree when I finally get it one day but what I do know is that I want to use it for the benefit of the Kingdom of God. Whether it be helping children, families, or marriages (one day) I hope that I'm able to show others the Lord.

"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"

And in case you haven't heard this awesome song:
