Walking By Faith

November 29, 2011April 27, 2017

Today I was thinking about what life has been like for us since we have been married. I got to thinking about our wedding and a song that we had chosen to be sung during the ceremony. It was “Walk By Faith” by Jeremy Camp. I remember when we were deciding on what songs we wanted, we thought “faith” might be a good theme. We knew that my heart was possibly going to give us issues – little did we know to what extent. Little did we know how much this song would mean to us 5+ years later.Yesterday God was wowing us left and right. Dan and I were both in tears. Dan was praying all week during deer camp that God would just give us the faith to get through this because it would take COMPLETE faith. Things that seemed impossible, God gave us answers to. It was down right incredible. We are just so moved by what God is doing that tears are the only thing that come out. So, this song means even more.
And as I was reading through the lyrics, our journey is written between the lines (my thoughts are in bold).

“Walk By Faith”

By: Jeremy Camp

Would I believe you when you would say

Your hand will guide my every way

Did we believe God would guide our every way? Sometimes we felt God was so far away. Why wasn’t He answering us?

Will I receive the words You say

Every moment of every dayWell I will walk by faith

Even when I cannot see

Well because this broken road

We felt we were on a broken road last year – BUT – God was preparing His will for US. We just had to be patient.

Prepares Your will for me

Help me to win my endless fears

You’ve been so faithful for all my years

God HAS been faithful through all these years and it’s His grace that HAS covered all we do – His grace has taken us down a road of unbelievable opportunities – having a gestational carrier.

With one breath You make me new

Your grace covers all I do

Well I’m broken- but I still see Your face

We were broken last year – not knowing how to cope – but we never gave up on God and His plan for us.

Well You’ve spoken- pouring Your words of grace

And now God has spoken – LOUDLY – through His grace – the gift of Brenda.

Well hallelujah, hallelu

(I will walk by faith)

Well hallelujah, hallelu

(I will walk by faith)

And all we can say now is HALLELUJAH!!!!!

I will walk, I will walk, I will walk by faith

I will, I will, I will walk by faith

We will continue to Walk By Faith.

Why My To-Dos Don’t Define Who I Am

Although I have just posted about how I rarely forget anything, and how I maximize my days, all with simple sticky notes, one thing that I value deeply is that my to-do lists and what I accomplish, do not make me who I am. What makes me who I am, is who Christ says I…

The Gift of Corporate Worship

When I was a teenager, with my youth group, I attended area-wide worship services that were sometimes a “regathering” of area churches after summer convention, but some of them were services just for teenagers. Like me. I still remember those moments of worship locally and my experiences at convention. In fact, when at convention in…

Hesitancy In Dreaming

Are you a dreamer? Do you find yourself daydreaming about your next vacation, tomorrow, your life in 20 years, or even things that you really know will never happen? I have the joy of being married to a dreamer – I say that positively because my husband has taught me to think outside the box….

To The Glory Of His Name

Do you dream of a day when everything is just as it should be? Where there are no more tears. No more crying. No more pain. No more suffering. No more frustrations. No more (fill in the blank). Throughout my life, I have often pondered what Heaven would be like. To think that there would…

Around The Home

It is hard to believe that we have come upon “moving week!” I remember thinking back in March, oh, June is so far away. To now say that this is the week seems a bit crazy, but the time has come. We have shed many tears this past week, realizing that our life of 4…
