What are you waiting for?

Song of the Week: "Walk on the Water," Britt Nicole

I barely have 10 seconds to post because I'm smack dab in the middle of law school exams.  But, there's so much I want to talk about, like: 
  • The So Long Insecurity Simulcast yesterday - WOW! is all I have time to say for now, but that's going to have to be a post unto itself.
  • How I feel about graduating from law school and thus closing the Wake Forest chapter of my life.
  • And, the fact that Bobby got a JOB! Yes!  And he loves it!  God is so faithful!
But, since I don't have time to talk about anything because outlines are calling my name, we'll save those topics for another day.  Today, let me just challenge you with the words of this song by Britt Nicole.  (Yes, I love her music.  She truly has a fresh perspective on what it means to follow Christ.)  The song is called "Walk on Water."  The lyrics speak for themselves:

You look around
It's 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

Chorus:

So what are you waiting for?
What do you have to lose?
Your insecurities try to alter you

You know you're made for more
So don't be afraid to move
Your faith is all
It takes in you
You can walk on the water too

Verse 2:
So get out
and let your fear fall to the ground
No time to waste
Don't wait
Don't you turn around and miss out
Everything you were made for
I know you're not sure
So you play it safe
Try to run away

If you take that first step
Into the unknown
He won't let you go

(Chorus)

Bridge:
(Step Out)
Even when a storm hits
(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 for?

(Chorus)

 I can't find a music video for the song, but at least you can listen to it:

  2. Thank you for your response to Erica on the LPM Blog. You were able to put in words what I have experienced but did not have the words to describe. Yes you are an example of God’s love for me as you wrote to Erica.

    I confess because I so dearly love Ang B. By Faith…Ang I wanted to know more about my Siesta Sista. I follow LPM blog daily and had read the post but no time to read the comments until I spotted a response in my e-mail from her post on Goals.

    Like so many, I am constantly amazed at Siestaville and love it so dearly as it encourages, challenges and just grows my faith in Jesus the One and Only.

    Missy, from reading your blog the music for So Long Insecurity blessed me more than you can know.

    This is a Song I Must Sing.

  3. One more comment, then you can get back to studying for your bar exam. I wanted to tell you that I will keep you in my prayers! My son just finished his first year at Charlotte School of Law and I prayed for him a lot. It's SO intense! I pray God captures his heart (and softens a little bit) like He has obviously captured yours.
    Much Love In Him,
    Angie xoxo

  4. Congrats on your upcoming graduation! My brother-in-law went to Wake Forest for both his undergrad and graduate degree. Brenners Children's Hospital took excellent care of my daughter when she was transferred there with her seizure disorder as an infant. Great school!
