Over My Head

This last weekend I had the opportunity to go to Time Out for Women. Let me tell you, it was absolutely amazing. I will try to write a post entirely dedicated to that later, but for now I want to focus on one specific song that really stood out to me.

Jericho Road has always been one of my favorite groups. Imagine my face when I learned that they would be providing the musical entertainment for the very conference I would be attending *commence laughing*

I was so star-struck the whole time. I couldn't believe I was in the very same room as them. One song they sang was called Over My Head.

I'm in over my head
Right where I wanna be
I'm so lost within your love 
The love that always covers me
So high, so deep, so wide
A strong and cleansing tide
My soul has found a place to rest
I'm in over my head

When they sang the words I'm in over my head at the beginning of the chorus I immediately felt as though the song would apply to me. I have been feeling so overwhelmed trying to balance work and school that I truly felt like I was drowning.

The next line threw me off. Right where I wanna be? No sir, I would much rather feel like I was in complete control of my life instead of like I'm losing control.

I'm so lost within your love, the love that covers me. Then I began to understand.

Since that moment I have remembered to thank God for all I have. I may be crazy insanely stressed out right now, but I have a job. Something millions of people don't. I have the opportunity to go to school and extend my education. Something millions and millions of people don't. I may not know where I'm going to live next semester, but I know that I will have somewhere to lay my head at night. So many people don't have that assurance.

So it's true, I'm in over my head, but I'm right where I wanna be. I'm so lost within His love...it's the love that covers me. My soul has found a place to rest.

I love the gospel.
