You look around and staring back at you 
Another wave of doubt will 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 

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 

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 even when your hope is stolen 
Step out you can't see where you're going 
Don't have to be afraid 
So what are you waiting what are you waiting for 

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

mmmm..... Valentine's day

Valentine's day is great.  I love this holiday.  Do I have a boyfriend or significant other?  Ha, noooooo.  But have I had time to reflect on how much I love people and how much I am going to love my husband when I finally meet him?  YES.  Valentine's day is a holiday that I have always enjoyed.  Every year, my dad gets us girls cards, teddy bears, or candy to show us how much he loves us.  The only difference between valentine's day and any other day, is that my dad gets to go out and buy cards and candy for us.  He has shown us so much love everyday of our lives.  I can't imagine living a life without the love of a father.  The thing that blows my mind is that my dad is only my earthly father.  His love to me is like gold.  To think that someone loves me more than my dad does is insane to me.  But guess what?  There is someone that loves us more than we could ever know.  His name is Jesus.  There is no greater love than the love we receive from Christ.  I love love.  and I loveeee this day.  Above all, I love Christ.  

there is beauty in simplicity

i wish i could go back and appreciate the days when life was "simple"

Our God is a awesome God!

Though the world seems to rip me apart,

I know that my Savior remains in my heart,

Patient and still, he is there when I call,

Even if I cannot hear him at all.

So be still my soul, and do not fear,

For the Lord my God will always be here,

He will bring me from death back into the light,

Because I am his child, precious in his sight.

He is my shelter when the rain and clouds come,

He will help me persevere, until the storm is done,

I have no reason to put faith in anything,

Except for my Lord, my Savior, my King.

My soul finds rest in God alone; my salvation comes from him. He alone is my rock and salvation; he is my fortress, I will never be shaken.

Psalm 62:1-2

lead me.

sometimes i wish i didn't have to lead.  my whole family is full of amazing leaders and i feel like i need to follow in their footsteps. i constantly question whether or not i have what it takes to lead.  coming from a family of 7, being a part of a team comes natural to me because we constantly have to work together to live life together.  i know that i've been called to be a leader.  sure, i can be a good leader and just get by.  to be a great leader, i'm going to need to be led.  i have all of these questions about life, love, and leadership.  i constantly ask other people for answers, but i've found that the only place i'm going to get the RIGHT answers is from my Lord and Savior.  

once again, i can't write so i'm sorry if this was hard to read..
