Fearfully and Wonderfully made…

He knew me
He knew me before any of you did
See,
Even before maama felt my heart beat
He already had my soul.

I was His from the very beginning
His every thought went into putting me together
Bone to bone
Flesh on flesh.

His strong hands moulding my being
soaking me in His image
And planting me in maama’s womb.

He already knew the woman i’d become
I was assured of life because
my veins were filled with His love.

From my first breath
To my last
I am His. . .fearfully and wonderfully made.

He has called me HIS!

Where feet may fail…

Then Peter spoke up, “Lord, if it is really you, order me to come out on the water to you.”
“Come!” answered Jesus. So, Peter got out of the boat and started walking on the water to Jesus. But when he noticed the strong wind, he was afraid and started to sink down in the water. “Save me, Lord!” he cried. -Mathew 14:28-30

How many times have we desired to do God’s work? How many times have You cried out to Him to use you. And then eventually, He listens and calls You out.

In this case, Peter wanted to walk on water just as Jesus was doing. That in its self is a representation of how we desire to do and be as Christ we love. BUT as we walk that path, our faith is swayed by the winds of this world. The disappointments, challenges, the doubt and every other thing takes our focus off of Him.

That’s when we begin drowning.

Can we fix our eyes on Him and Him only. Take them off those winds, waves etc.

He alone can and will calm those winds.

Even when the oceans threaten to drown you, the lies, the you-cant-do-this, the hopelessness, the fear. They will all try, but you MUST cry out to Him. Grab hold of Him.  He will hash them out with His still small voice.

This song, Oceans (Where feet may fail) is one of i’ve been listening to for a while now. This morning I was meditating on the lyrics and as I read the story of Peter, those lyrics really opened my eyes and inspired me to hold on, no matter the challenge

“when (those) oceans rise my soul will (always) rest in His embrace. I am His and He is mine.”

It’s really a powerful worship song. Listen to it whenever you can.

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

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

I will call upon Your name
And keep my eyes above the waves
When oceans rise my soul 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

Happy new you…

I’m back…uhmmm…kind of.

Haven’t written anything here for a while now. Though I have been literally stalking my friends’ blogs like crazy. Lol.

Anyhoooooo….I hope you’re well settled into the new year, after all, we are 34 days into 2016. Is it too early to ask how your resolutions are going tho?

*ahem*

I personally started mine off with a couple of days in prayer ( like I usually do every new year). Its more about surrender, releasing it all to the All-knowing Almighty God. Afterall, He alone knows the plans He has for us. And His will must be done, I have no control over that. So my prayer is that as I sit in wait and total surrender, I hope he equips me with the virtue of patience. And whatever the outcome, whether His answer is a Yes, No or Maybe…I pray He showers me with knowledge and spiritual sight to see things the way He does.

That aside, God has really been good to me and my family the past year. His faithfulness, love, protection, provision, guidance, and every other thing He has done for me and my family has been humbling. His grace was sufficient, as is always.

Like, who am I? Who are we that He is mindful of us?

I cant even thank Him enough. I just want to thank Him and then some more. This year will be no different. I know so.

Well…

Let me wish you a beautiful, fruitful year ahead. 

PS: Whether your in the valley or at the mountain top, God’s got you! Remember that.
