You Make Me Brave-Amanda Cook

Most of you are probably very familiar with this song. It's one of my top 5 favorite worship songs ever, but I've somewhat "rediscovered" it while prepping for McBaby. I went through a stage of being very fearful (and just plain grossed out) concerning birth. MY anxiety has been stirred up thanks to pregnancy hormones, but this song is strong medicine in my battle against fear. I love that the lyrics talk about leaving shore and going into the waves. This image is SO applicable to my life. I play it safe in so many areas of life, even literally on the beach where I don't go in past my knees.

I need the encouragement found in these words, the truth that He is good and faithful and trustworthy and safe, even though it doesn't feel like it all the time. He is able to be depended on in all areas of life. What's holding you and me back on the shore? Let's join Him in the midst of the waves...
