How then shall we live?

As a Christian, how should I be living my life? I have to ask myself this question sometimes. In the middle of this crazy, fast paced world that we are living in, I still want my answer to remain the same - my life should be lived for God and for others. This semester I will be studying in Rwanda and Uganda, and doing mission work with Food for the Hungry. These next few months I want to make a drastic change in my life by living not for myself, but for others. Through my studies and my interactions I hope to find a new and better understanding of what it means to be a child of God. I want to leave with no question in my mind that there is so much more to my life than my own happiness. I want to make my Creator proud, by loving his children.

Cold Feet?

Okay its 8pm. I leave my house in 6 hrs for the airport. I need to go to be and get some sleep but I am freaking out A LOT.

This is my dream. I've always wanted to go to Africa. This trip is a year in the making. I am psyched. So then why is it that I am hours from going and I am suddenly getting so scared and second guessing if this was a good idea or not? I'll be leaving my family, my friends, my school, my country...everything I know and love. And not just for a few weeks... for a few MONTHS. ahhh! So now the strong attitude that I have been wearing so that other people wont freak out for me is starting to slip and I am seriously panicking.

Just gotta keep telling myself this is what I want and I am going to love it. I can do this.

Dear God, Be with me. Keep me safe. Help me to do what you have asked of me with a cheerful heart and an open mind. Let me be a blessing to everyone I meet. And PLEASE, bring me back again to the people I love. Amen
