Here we are. As I write, I’m in the airport waiting to hop on a plane and head to El Salvador. I don’t know where I’ll be sleeping tonight. I don’t know what I’ll be doing tomorrow. In the back of my mind, it occurs to me that I should probably be scared.
But my mind keeps going back to 2 Timothy 1:7, which reminds me that I haven’t been given a spirit of fear. I’m reminded that perfect love casts out fear. I’m reminded that I’m supposed to cast off everything that hinders.
So where there would normally be fear, instead there is excitement. Where there would normally be apprehension, instead there is peace. Where there would normally be anxiety, instead I’m just so, so ready to get going.
So here’s to the unknown, the mission, and adventure. Here we go!
