Where Feet May Fail

At this point I've let myself become very comfortable with the idea that I'll be leaving for Germany in just over two months. I've gotten over the initial shock and terror of making this big of a change in my life. For some reason, which can probably be explained by many psychological and/or emotion things I've experienced in my life, change doesn't come easy to me. The ironic thing is, that no matter how frustrated I've been with my situations, I imagined changing them and couldn't fathom all that would be entailed. The other ironic thing is, that change happens whether you want it to or not. So my lack of wanting change never discouraged change from happening. It took me so long to figure that out and to listen to people wiser than myself who figured it out long before me. I'm still in the process of accepting that change is inevitable and embracing it is the easiest way to live.

I will never be the same after these six months of my life. It will change the entire course of where I'm intended to go and where I will end up going. There's a song by Hillsong United that I've been constantly singing since my friend Jonathan let me listen to it (randomly, I might add) at a local coffee shop. It's fairly popular by now, I gather. But here it is, so you can get a feel of what has influenced my freedom from change...


Oceans (Where Feet May Fail) - Hillsong United

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

So 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

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


Blessings to all who read!

Love, Hannah
