Song of The Year.

Every year I have a song that I like to say has completely defined my year .. previous years have been Strongtower by Kutless (2007), Bring The Rain by Mercy Me (2008), and In The Waiting by Shannon Wexelburg (2009). I think I may have even blogged about In The Waiting last year. It’s an amazing song. This year though, it was hard for me to just pick one .. but I finally have narrowed it down!

This past year was interesting for me. I feel like I’ve grown a lot as a person not only on a mental/emotional/just plain growing up level, but also on a spiritual level. The trip to Haiti in October truly changed my life - in more ways than I could ever even begin to write about.

So, my song for 2010 is Walk On The Water by Britt Nicole. The title in many ways explains the song. The story of Peter walking on the water is one of my favorites. There was chaos all around him (which is how life can look sometimes) but he kept his eyes on Jesus and he was able to walk through the chaos. I often times wonder what was going through Peter’s mind as he stepped out of that boat .. I wonder if he was excited, nervous, scared or maybe even a mix of emotions. I guess it doesn’t exactly matter how he felt, because he obeyed Jesus and did step out of the boat. However, as we all know, Peter took his eyes off of Jesus and began to sink. This is where he went wrong, and this story serves as a reminder that we must always keep our focus on Jesus .. and not on the storm!
