Called Me Higher

You have called me Higher

You have called me Deeper

And I'll go where You will lead me Lord

- Called Me Higher by All Sons and Daughters

One of my friends sent me this song by All Sons and Daughters about two weeks ago.  I am a huge fan of worship music but especially love songs that relate to the journey I am currently on.  I love how some songs relate to valleys, peaks and even prayer requests. The words to this song are exactly how I feel daily here in Haiti.  As I ride my moto around town, as I walk through the market and even as I walk the compound to work I am reminded that I have been called here.  Sometimes I laugh and think WHAT or HOW is He using me here but then I am reminded quickly.  Anyways... Back to the song, the truth is that we all find ourselves trying to control what we have.  Many times in all circumstances I know I choose to not have hope or choose to hold on to who I am because I am scared of what may happen.  But we must remember that He is the sustainer of life.  God's calling for our life is never more than we can handle.  After being in Haiti now for 3 months I know He will never call me higher, deeper or farther than I can go.  There is a purpose to everything we come across; good, bad and fun but we must choose to see Him in the light of it all.  Here is a link to the song for you to hear it.

Not everyday here has been roses... Some days I feel dirty, some days I want air conditioning and some days I want to just jump in my own car and drive to Chick-Fil-a.  But as I mentioned before the butterfly is a sweet reminder that it's okay to feel that way.  I have to remember God has me where he wants me and is working through me.  On Friday, I had one of those moments, I let the fear and stress take over my emotions.  I was trying to control the future and how it would all play out.  While I was walking around outside that afternoon I prayed that God would show me a sign, just a sign to ensure me He hadn't forgotten about me.  The afternoon went home and  took a nap.  When I got up to leave for a friends house I walked outside and this was on my porch.

The biggest butterfly I had seen while in Haiti and the most beautiful color yellow.  I laughed to myself and knew He was listening.  It was a sweet reminder I needed and I will cherish those cry out to Jesus moments.
