Since I got to the USA every moth or season of learning there is a song that speaks to me. It’s funny. I remember every part of the journey with a song. There is always a song that I hear God speak to me about exactly what I am living.
Today, the post is about the song for this season.
It’s about knowing that even when things are not the best God is good. The goal is also say that I don’t want only to talk about the good times but that God is with us all the time. And if life gets hard God is good.
So this season I bring you to 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”
When I feel lost, when I don’t know what is going to happen, when I ask why things are happening this way, when I feel that I want to go back to Brazil.
I remember God’s purpose for me.
I remember that He called me to be here.
When I don’t know what to do and my feet my fail I remember who is the One holding me.
"And I will call upon Your name
And keep my eyes above the waves
When oceans rise, my soul will rest in Your embrace
I am Yours and You are mine”
Here I remember who takes care of me and who has done everything so far. I remember that I don’t need to feel alone because God is with me and when it seems that the waves will cover me I know who I can call and that in Him I can rest.
"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 then when the future scares me I remember that I can rest because God will guide me. I can rest because He can do anything. I can rest because He never failed and He never will.
"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”
When the hard times come. When my nephew was born and I wished to be in Brazil. When I miss Brazil. I remember the goodness of God and my journey. I remember His guidance until this moment. I remember He is calling me to trust Him everyday more. I see that He wants my faith to be stronger and that in His presence I grow more and more. It doesn’t matter where I am or where he takes me I know that He is the One I can trust. My prayer is that when I feel lost my faith will be stronger and my trust will have no borders.
"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”
My exchange program has been full of miracles. It’s a miracle to live this experience in a much more amazing way that I expected.
And even when it gets cloudy even when it seems I am going to drown the experience gets even better because I know who I can call. I call him. I know that when I cannot see I can look upon the water because He will be there. This season God is teaching me how to trust him. He is teaching me love. He is teaching me that His will is the best thing I can do. He is teaching me that being in the place He called me to be is the best place I can be.
When I listen to Oceans God speaks to me.
I know I’ve been growing in the last 14 months and I will continue. I look around and I see God. I see grace.
God is my resting place. I pray that my trust will have no borders. Most of all, I know that I don’t need to worry about the future because He is the one who writes the story.
