haiti bound

Dear Candice,
guess what! God is sooooo amazing. I am going to Haiti. In early July, I will be going to a realm of the world that i didn't even know existed. God has big plans for me. And He is executing them. I have never been so excited to do something in my life. Ever.
So tonight we had a meeting. All of the students that are going on mission trips this summer meet every other monday at my church. Tonight they suggested that we keep a journal to document our journey throughout this experience. And I'm not a huge fan of just talking to a piece of paper so I decided to tell you about everything. So you're almost my journal. But not really.
The first thing in my journal needs to be my fears about the trip. So here's a few of them...

Sickness
Attachment issues to the country
Becoming mad at the world that I live in when I get back
Rejection of the reasons that I am going- from peers and from the Haitians
Dangerous people and situations in Haiti

Maybe some of them are a bit irrational but they are real fears that I have. From now until I leave, I am going to pray that God would give me peace about all of my fears so that they wouldn't get in the way of me doing His will. I don't want to be restrained by my fears.
These little fears will NOT hold me down.
I love you.
Love,
Sara
