Walk on water

I was listening to the radio yesterday and heard a bit of this song: Walk on Water by Britt Nicole. Britt Nicole was interviewed and she shared how she was inspired to write this song. She wrote it because her mother had a dream to set up a girls' home. After years of  waiting for the right time not sure if she could do it (sound familiar?), she (her mother) finally stepped out of her comfort zone and set it up. Britt went on to share the transformation that has occurred in the lives of different girls. She mentioned how one of the girls Heather is going into college soon and yet about a year ago, Heather was homeless and hopeless. She went on to encourage us all to "Step out. even when it’s storming" - once God has laid something in our heart.

Indeed, I know from personal experience that you never know which "Heather" is waiting for you to obey the Master's call to walk on water (which is one of the reasons behind this blog - because we never know who the word is for - we just share in faith what God lays in our hearts). You know, it was stormy when Peter walked on water...he cried out for help, he made history...so can you.

I searched and got the lyrics off the internet...be blessed & empowered to walk on water as you read on...

Walk on water*

You look around and staring back at you

Another wave of doubt

Will it pull you under

You wonder

What if I’m overtaken

What if I never make it

What if no one’s there

Will you hear my prayer

When you take that first step

Into the unknown

You know that He won’t let you go

So what are you waiting for

What do you have to lose

Your insecurities

They try to hold to you

But you know you’re made for more

So don’t be afraid to move

Your faith is all it takes

And you can walk on the water too

So get out and let your fear fall to the ground

No time to waste, don’t wait

And don’t you turn around, and miss out on

Everything you were made for

Gotta be, I know you’re not sure, more

So you play it safe, you try to run away

If you take that first step

Into the unknown

He won’t let you go

Step out, even when it’s storming

Step out, even when you’re broken

Step out, even when your heart is telling you,

Telling you to give up

Step out, when your hope is stolen

Step out, you can’t see where you’re going

You don’t have to be afraid

So what are you waiting, what are you waiting for
