With it being a new year and all I've been thinking a lot about what 2012 might have in store for me, and especially in India. Honestly, I haven't got a clue. I know I'm going to India but God still has a chance to change those plans.
It's kinda funny though because when my mom tells people that I'm going to India for 10 1/2 months they're either really excited or shocked that I'm going alone. I often get asked if I'm scared or nervous. I'm really not. Excited? Yes. Thankful? Most definitely.
There are going to be a lot of things I'm going to have to adjust to and I'm betting on the fact that God has a lot of surprises for me there.
Should I be nervous or afraid of that? Of anything? No! Here's why:
As it is written,
"For your sake we are being killed all the day long,
we are regarded as sheep to be slaughtered."
No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God through Christ Jesus our Lord.
So should I be nervous? Should I be afraid? ABSOLUTELY NOT! I am not going alone or for myself. God is wherever I go and His spirit resides with in me and NOTHING can separate me from Him. Through Him I am more than a conqueror. Through Him I can do anything. What can man do to me? God is powerful. God is sovereign. God is taking me to India. God has the plan and knows what is going to happen. NOT ME! And that is why I am not afraid, because no matter what I come up against I cannot be separated from the Person who loves me and gives me strength. He is in control and my confidence is in Him.
