Let The Waters Rise

Hey guys.

So the past few months have been really rough for me. Honestly, I completely forgot I even made this blog this summer. Now that I've rediscovered it, however, I fully intend to use it every day. As for today, it's 11:30 PM in chilly, chilly Texas, and I'm tired. But before I pass out for the evening, I wanted to share this song with you. Its called "Let The Waters Rise". KLTY has been playing it a lot lately, and I've absolutely fallen in love with it. It summarizes everything that's been going on in my crazy, mixed up, hormone riddled life lately, and I love it.

Let The Waters Rise - Mikeschair

Don't know where to begin
Its like my world's caving in
And I try but I can't control my fear
Where do I go from here?
Sometimes its so hard to pray
When You feel so far away
But I am willing to go
Where you want me to
God, I trust You

There's a raging sea
Right in front of me
Wants to pull me in
Bring me to my knees
So let the waters rise
If You want them to
I will follow You
I will follow You
I will follow You

I will swim in the deep
'Cuz You'll be next to me
You're in the eye of the storm
And the calm of the sea
You're never out of reach
God, You know where I've been
You were there with me then
You were faithful before
You'll be faithful again
I'm holding Your hand

There's a raging sea
Right in front of me
Wants to pull me in
Bring me to my knees
So let the waters rise
If You want them to
I will follow You
I will follow You
I will follow You

God Your love is enough
You will pull me through
I'm holding onto You

I just love this. With the anxiety/trichotillomania I struggle with, I am constanty feeling overwhelmed. God is so patient with me. He is forever reminding me to just trust Him. I love Exodus 14:14 (isn't it cool how God knows how awful I am with numbers, and it just so happens that all my favorite verses are easy to remember? Habakkuk 2:3, 1 Peter 5:6-7, Exodus 14:14, etc.?!?!) which says, "The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still." *Deep breath*. Okay, God. This is in your hands. Everything we struggle with as little humans, God cares about. The stupid boys who make me so frustrated, the snooty girls and their ultra-skinny bodies that just make me so..ashamed. The frustrations I feel with my own inadequacies, the pressures from others to be the kind of girl society says I should be. The hopelessness I feel when I think about relationships and love, the lonliness of nights when my best friend and I are fighting. The ache in my muscles from dance, the impatience I feel when people walk too slowly in the hallways. ALL OF IT! God cares. Really, truly cares, about the minutia in my life. So wonderful.

Anyways, that's my semi-coherent rant for the evening. Rest well, friends!
