Honduras!!

In just a few minutes I will be leaving home and beginning my journey
towards Honduras where I will be for my missions internship May 15
through July 10. After a year of planning, it's hard to believe that
the long-awaited day is finally here. My bags are mainly packed; I
have a few small errands left; and then I shall be off to spend the
night with relatives before flying out early in the morning.

I was heading back home last night after spending some last moments
with some good friends after church, and I was thinking about all the
goodbyes I had just said and the wonderful people of my home church
who are so supportive. But I was also thinking about this journey I am
embarking on. Going by myself on this internship is a big step for me;
I'm leaving my comfort zone big time. Yet I am at the same time
excited because I can't wait to see how God is going to grow me
through this.

I've been thinking a lot about one of Ron Hamilton's songs - "How Can
I Fear." The words are powerful.
"When I'm alone, and I face the unknown,
And I fear what the future may be;
I can depend on the strength of my Friend;
He walks along with me.

HOW CAN I FEAR? JESUS is near;
He ever watches over me!
Worries all cease;
He gives me peace.
How can I fear with Jesus?"

I'm going alone, and I'm facing a lot of unknowns. But in reality, I'm
not alone. Jesus is with me, so why should I fear anything? Wherever
this trip takes me, God's way is perfect. Though there will be
mountains and valleys, rain and shine, my Father makes no mistakes. He
has a perfect path for me, and as I follow Him, He will lead me down
that perfect path that is for my good and His glory.
