We have been to and are going to many "dangerous" places. I think often what gets labeled dangerous is just the place that is getting the most media attention that year. I think the safest place of all is in God's will. Not to sound cliche or overconfident, but I think it's true. Perhaps it is the fear of the horrific that truly gets people. I think a lot more people die from car accidents or something like heart disease, than anything related to terrorism. We shouldn't necessarily be scared to go to country X, when it is much dangerous driving, even in Canada, especially after it has snowed. But please keep us in mind and in your prayers, we don't necessarily just want safety but whatever God has in mind.
With all that said, I'm still not going to throw all caution to the wind and be reckless. We do want to be safe but it's just not our first priority I guess. As I have read and am reading from accounts of great men and women, who have done truly awesome things, I am reminded again what true commitment and sacrifice is all about. We know Who is control of all things and on Him we put our trust.
