Tonight's devotion was led by our assistant music director, who was also my high school choir teacher my senior year. She spoke about, Psalm 43, about God's new song for our lives-about being brave enough and strong enough to listen to the new song God has given us and to trust that God will be faithful to fulfill that song.
My new song is obviously my upcoming marriage and move to a totally new place. I'm excited for this new song, but also a bit terrified. I'm not afraid of being married, I'm actually overcome with joy and excitement to finally be with my man and not be long distance.
My fear comes with being so far from my family. And from not knowing.
I'm a planner. But in this move, I won't know what my next job will be. I won't know what the future holds for Brian and I as he continues his Air Force career. I won't know how to drive in the snow. And I won't know....anyone. My entire family and all of my friends {with the exception of Brian} will be no where near me. I'll have to make a new set of friends, and that's scary to me. I'll have to find a new church-one that is completely unrelated to my dad.
My fear comes in not knowing. And in Kansas I will know nothing.
But I'm trying to walk in faith.
This is my new song. I'm learning to trust and life faithfully.
Today on the tour bus, we also watched Facing the Giants. It's only the second time I've seen it, but the line that has spoken to me today is...
"When we win, we'll praise Him.
And when we lose, we'll praise Him"
So no matter how this new song plays out for me, I'm ready to trust and love faithfully. I'm ready to praise God and live to glorify God regardless of the outcome of the game.
And that's my post today. Maybe it wasn't your favorite and it wasn't for you, but it's the lyrics and verses to a new song that's stuck in my head.
