Afraid of Africa?

I've been asked this question over and over again. And am still being asked.
Am i afraid? No. I think i'm way too excited to panic.

I do wonder why I'm not afraid though. I'm the type of person who would usually be very nervous for such a trip and to be going alone to Africa! That's a huge deal.

I keep asking God why I don't feel even a bit of fear. He answers by fully assuring me that this is His will and if i follow in His plans i am promised His provision and protection.

I refer to Psalm 37 as the Psalm of my life (as cheesy as that sounds!). But it really is the story of my life. No matter what situation I am in, when i open up to this passage, God reveals the answer.

Tonight, I ask God again. Why am I not the least bit worried? And the answer I get: Psalm 37:33.

"The Lord will not leave him in his hand..."

In other words, my God will not take away his protection over my life. No matter what happens, I will be in the will of God. And will always know that my trust is in Him for He has already gone before me. If this is from Him then I am for Him. All for Him. Whatever He wills for my life, let it be done.
