called me higher

It happened. 

Wednesday morning, I was in my morning routine of quiet time with the Lord, journaling my thoughts, and just thinking of how much I wanted to eat on Thanksgiving when I got.....the call. Praying Pelican Missions called me to say what I've been feeling since the summer. I am now a PPM staff member summer intern. Most likely in the country of Haiti but we'll see. 

God is good. All the time. I've been learning more and more these days that when God gives you a burden or calling on your heart, listen to it. I guarantee it's for a purpose. His purpose. He is leading you to a higher place. Somewhere you can't get on your own. Somewhere where you have to lean fully on Him. It's for His amazing plan He has if we are willing to follow His will above ours, obey, and trust. 

I am beyond excited. I am also terrified. It's scary. I think it's suppose to be scary though. Otherwise, I would be relying on my strengths and not His. If it wasn't scary, I wouldn't need to take a giant step of faith. I will continue to trust Him to guide and direct me. He is all I need. 

Thank you for your prayers. 

I will stop on this note because I just might go on and on. Romans 8:29-30 says, "For God knew his people in advance, and he chose them to become like his Son, so that his Son would be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters. And having chosen them, he called them to come to him. And having called them, he gave them right standing with himself. And having given them right standing, he gave them his glory."

Called Me Higher by All Sons & Daughters

I could just sit

I could just sit and wait for all your goodness

Hope to feel your presence

And I could just stay

I could just stay right where I am and hope to feel you

Hope to feel something again

And I could hold on

I could hold on to who I am and never let You change me from the inside

And I could be safe

I could be safe here in Your arms and never leave home

Never let these walls down

But you have called me higher

You have called me deeper

And I will go where you will lead me Lord

You have called me higher

You have called me deeper

And I will go where you lead me Lord

Where you lead me

Where you lead me Lord

And I will be Yours

I will be Yours for all my life

So let Your mercy light the path before me
