Just Above The Waves

God ordered me to step out of the boat . The sky is dark and the storm is bigger than I could ever imagine . I’m typically a brave risk taker . But this one had me scared and my heart was here in this boat . God said walk Amy

I clenched the sides with my dear life

If I walk I leave behind everything in this boat to God . I have to let go all of my control and trust God with everything . I had all these bags packed you see . Why would I leave all that was dear to me in this boat in this storm ? My heart was ripping in two and I cried like I never have before

God I can’t let go ?!! He said Amy I command you to walk . But God !

The water is deep ! The waves are so high ! What if I lose everything ?!!!

I screamed in the midst of the storm but who could hear me ? It was me and God in the darkness . If I walk I have to put all my faith in you God to not sink in these waters . I’ve been through great trials but did he know what he was asking me to do ?

They were all there in that boat everyone I loved , my hopes my dreams ,

As tears poured down my face . With every ounce of courage I had left I took the first step .

I’m now in the middle of the ocean here in God’s lap . Gut wrenching pain looking back on my boat . Looking up to God begging him to make it all ok .

Never have I been on such a hard road before . But now I know I can’t move a step with out God telling me where to go .

On my 40th birthday I cried so hard on my way to work I almost had to pull over . Have you ever had a moment like this ?

God bring him back to me I said ! God bring me finances ! God save me .

I look around here I am in the middle .

I have to trust God . Then this song came on by Hillsong called Oceans

How perfect it was . So here we go on this journey . My hand in yours .

Hillsong - Oceans -

You call me out upon the waters
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
