As we get closer to going thoughts start to come into your head:
The What if's:
What if I am not good at this?
What if I don't know what to do or say there?
What if Africa is really not safe?
What if I do or say something wrong?
What if I get sick?
What if... What if.... What if....
These questions are natural.
This is my 7th trip to Africa and I still get the
What ifs.
The trick is to remember God is in control!!
Psalm 46: 1-7
God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.
Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way
Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way
and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea,
though its waters roar and foam and the mountains quake with their surging.
There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God,
though its waters roar and foam and the mountains quake with their surging.
There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God,
the holy place where the Most High dwells.
God is within her, she will not fall; God will help her at break of day.
Nations are in uproar, kingdoms fall; the lifts his voice, the earth melts.
The LORD Almighty is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress.
God is within her, she will not fall; God will help her at break of day.
Nations are in uproar, kingdoms fall; the lifts his voice, the earth melts.
The LORD Almighty is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress.
