Ethiopia
In 4 days I travel to the other side of the world with 2 good friends. We have no idea on what is in store for us. We are going to try and do some good and to help change lives in Ethiopia using what we love to do, photography and film.
We don’t know what the conditions will be when we get there. We have no idea how the stories will turn out. We have no idea if we’ll be allowed into the country with all of our equipment and gear. There are a lot of unknowns for us, it could end up just being a trip to drink the worlds best coffee.
Despite all the unknowns of our trip, I choose not to be worried, but excited. I’ve been wrestling with this for awhile now and just recently I heard a question, “Does it say anywhere in scripture that God ever worried?”, the answer is simple, no. So that being said, anytime a thought of worry or self doubt comes into play it’s fairly obvious where that thought is coming from.
Yes there are a lot of unknowns and for some amateur photographers, this trip could be a total bust, but there is nothing we can do about it. We have prepared as best we can. We are going to do the best that we can. We will go, work hard and use the skills and gifts we have been given to the best of our ability, and the rest of it is in God’s hands.
Worrying about everything will do only harm, not good. We have believed that God is asking us to do this, he has provided everything we need, and then some. So with that in mind, I trust and believe that everything will work out as He wants. Besides, this is His idea and His project, we’re just doing what we’re told.
