One question I get when I tell people that I plan on leaving for year to go on a missions trip to a 11 different countries is “are you scared?“
The answer to that is yes very much so. I’m scared that when I leave something bad is going to happen here at home with my family and I won’t be here for them when it does. I’m scared that something bad will happen to me and that I won’t have my loved ones there for me. I’m also scared that I will be all alone. (Even though I’m getting to know my team right now. Before we even head out on the field and they all seem very nice.) This stuff terrifies me.
But I know that God has my back. He has made me strong enough to overcome these fears. I know that things might happen that are out of my control and comfort. But I also have faith that no matter how scared I am he is in control not me. If something happens its because he has a plan that is so much more greater than I could ever understand. I just have to have faith that when I step out and follow what he wants me to do, he will take care of ever thing else.
I also believe that there is a bigger and greater reason God is challenging me do this. Even if it is to just touch one persons life. All of these fear will be worth it.
So yes I am scared, but I also couldn’t be more excited about this.
