Just Waiting

So now that Graduation and Grad night have come and gone, Im starting to think more and more about my trip to Africa. The other day while I was getting ready to leave the house I started thinking about the trip - really what it would take to get there - and it hit me that Im traveling half way around the world to the poorest country on Earth by my self. It made me think, "Wes, what are you thinking?!" I wouldnt say Im scared or afraid of going into international airports trying to find my way to my gate on my own, I would say Im nervous.

I can definitly say the travel alone is going to test me and my faith. I know that Satan sees this is as an opportunity to attack my faith and who I am in Christ as Im a young kid fresh out of high school. I know that Im just going to have to stand firm and trust God in anything that is going to happen. I have to be flexible.

My biggest prayer requests are that I will find my gates no problem, the traveling will be smooth and safe and that I will trust God through all situations on this trip.

Genesis 15:1
"Some time later, the Lord spoke to him and said, "Do not be afraid for I will protect you."
