I have received a lot of concern by people who love me about my traveling alone on this trek. While I am timid, I’m not terrified. This trip has been on my heart for almost a year now, and God is finally opening doors for me to go. I have complete faith that God will protect me and take care of me, because of a few promises.

Then you will walk on your way securely, and your foot will not stumble.  (Proverbs 3:23)

For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways. (Psalm 91:11)

The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters. He restores my soul. He leads me in paths of righteousness for his name’s sake. Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; you anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. (Psalm 23:1-6)

For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope. (Jeremiah 29:11)

The steps of a man are established by the Lord, when he delights in his way; though he fall, he shall not be cast headlong, for the Lord upholds his hand. I have been young, and now am old, yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken or his children begging for bread. (Psalm 37:23-25)

At lunch with my best friend of 10 years now, I heard some advice that she has been following, “Go until you get a no.” God opens the doors that he wants us to go through. I think most importantly,

With God, all things are possible. (Mark 19:26)

After being raised in a Christian home, I can now live out these promises that I believe. Of course, I am not naive. I know that I will encounter some tough situations and probably get lost more times than I actually know my way. There will be adversaries, but by keeping my eyes on God, I will never be traveling alone.

Yes, I am traveling with myself, but I am not traveling by myself. I’ve got the big man upstairs on my side. And thank God. I will appreciate the continued prayers and thoughts of encouragement.

15 days left until departure.
