In Over My Head

Hey guys! I know it's been while since I've written on here, but I've kind of been taking a break from the whole social media thing. It was a good refresher to focus more on what's really going on in my life rather than social media. Anyways, I felt like something was on my heart and felt like I should share it. Everyday I try to start my day off the same way and keep a routine going of eating breakfast and listening to some worship music. I feel like that gets my day going in the right direction and there's just something about waking up to worship music that puts you in a great mood. I've recently started listening to Bethel Music and my favorite song right now is called, "In Over My Head". The lyrics have really been speaking to me because we have all felt like we have been "in over our heads" at some point in our lives. Whether its things that are going on like sickness, worrying about job security, financial security etc. There's always something going on in our lives and at times it feels as though we are so in over our head. For instance,  right now in my life its the uncertainty game that our life is surrounded by almost every summer. Figuring out where we will be living and where I'll be playing this season and hoping that it will be safe and secure. The uncertainty in the waiting is one of the worst feelings to have going on especially in the summertime when your wanting to really enjoy the short time at home. At this point I do feel a little "in over my head". But there is one verse of this song that says, 

"I’m standing knee deep but I’m out where never been
I feel You coming and I hear Your voice on the wind.

Would you come and tear down the boxes that I have tried to put You in
Let love come teach me who You are again
Take me back to the place where my heart was only about You
And all I wanted was just to be with You

Come and do whatever You want to"

Sometimes I do feel like I'm standing knee deep in all of the things that this life has going on around me, and it does feel like unchartered territory. I lash out and get short and frustrated with the things that I really don't need to be worried about. I love how it says "take me back to the place where my heart was only about you. Come and do whatever you want to". Every time I hear that verse, it's almost like a calming affect that comes over me and for those next few minutes, I feel as though I'm not standing knee deep in sinking sand. I know it's easier said than done to just allow God to come into our lives and do whatever He wants to because we are all so focused on controlling every part of our lives. But, the reality of it is that we don't control anything. We are and always will be on God's impeccable timing and the more we come to know that truth, the more we will be able to say "Come and do whatever you want to". I know for me this time of uncertainty or the "waiting game" is always part of God's plan and His timing is always perfect. So relax and take hope in the fact that even though you may feel as though you are "In Over Your Head", God's got you and all you need to do is allow Him to tear down the boxes of worries that you have. Let Him do whatever He wants to. If you haven't heard this song yet, check it out HERE and I hope it has the same affect on you as it does on me. That calming affect that no matter how deep you feel you may be, God can and will get you out and place you exactly where you need to be.
