"Fear not..."

"Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand."  Isaiah 41:10

I would be lying if I said Michael and I have not received many, many questions lately regarding all of the latest North Korean news.  Most are from well-meaning, loving family and friends who worry for our safety.  Others simply question our sanity.

My only response is...I have no fear.

No, we are not some crazy daredevils, throwing care and caution to the wind.  We are simply trying to be faithful, trusting, and obedient servants.  There is absolutely no doubt in our minds that God has chosen us to go to South Korea.  We have sought and have seen His loving hand and direction every step of the way.

Now it's our turn to simply trust.

I'm often reminded how small and short-sighted we humans are.  Fortunately for us, we serve an amazing God who sees the "BIG PICTURE" and guides us even as we question His wisdom.

So with four short months to go, we carry on.  We continue to pray.  We continue to have faith.

"And behold I am with you always, to the end of the age."  Matthew 28:20
