If You Say Go / 06.24.08, 11:24 AM

I’ve got less than three months to go! I would be lying if I said that I was not worried at all. One thing that God has been teaching me is that He does have a plan for me and takes me for exactly who I am, at every moment. I know that is sort of a given, but learning it is a lot harder than it sounds, at least for me. One of my biggest worries is not knowing where I will be in September, yes I know I will be in Atlanta, but where will I be spiritually and emotionally? If I can’t help myself with my small daily troubles, how will I be able to help anyone else? I begin to doubt myself that I could be any help or service to anyone else. Even if I don’t have everything together by September, the Lord has still called me to this awesome adventure, and I will not be abandoned. He will still take me as I am, even when I’m not fully satisfied with where I am at. One of my favorite worship songs is If You Say Go. My favorite lines are, “if you say step out on the water and they say it can’t be done we will fix our eyes on you and we will come. If you call us to the fire you will not withdraw your hand we will gaze into the flames and look for you.” So even when I doubt myself and I begin to think that I would be useless the Lord tells me to fix my eyes on Him. When He asks me to do something I think impossible, I learn that anything can be done through him. When he calls me to Atlanta in September, even if I feel I am not capable, He promises he wouldn’t call me to the fire and then withdraw his hand.
