I certainly appreciate your expression of your fears-they are like dark shadows or black holes-but remember God is LOVE and love knows no fear.
I have to constantly remind myself of that-knowing some of the awful things that COULD happen and have happened to world travellers. But this is different-this time my precious daughter is among those travelling to far away places.
I am so thankful for the place God has led you right now-SSU and the leadership provided there. I know you are in good hands, not only with your leaders/chaperones and friends, but with God. I trust Him to lead you into a whole new view of His world; and the new people you meet, well, He knew them before they were born, just like me and you. And He loves them just like He does North Americans! They may look different, live differently, think differently than you and me, but they are part of God’s creation, and I would love to meet them. You are so blessed to be in this place and having that privelege. God bless you dear daughter and my prayers go with you and all the group.
Love, Mom

In the evening his disciples went down to the sea, got in the boat, and headed back across the water to Capernaum. It had grown quite dark and Jesus had not yet returned. A huge wind blew up, churning the sea. They were maybe three or four miles out when they saw Jesus walking on the sea, quite near the boat. They were scared senseless, but he reassured them, “It’s me. It’s all right. Don’t be afraid.” So they took him on board. In no time they reached land—the exact spot they were headed to. [John 6:15-17 The Message]
