Looking Straight Ahead--Melanie Hardacker

Today is the day! I barely slept last night and am feeling sick this morning. Trying to relax and trust God to take care of me and heal me in these last hours before we leave.

My morning prayer time with God brought me this message that I am taking to Africa:

Proverbs 4:25, "Let your eyes look straight ahead, fix your gaze directly before you."

As this day has come closer I have already begun to wonder what will be for me when we get back. And I know while I am there I will think about that and might begin to worry about our finances, I am already worried something will happen while we are there that we can't get back for, and I am sure there will be things happening there that will distract me as well. Yet God is asking me to simply "look straight ahead". To look at what I am doing, what HE is doing, right in front of me and be part of that. No looking back home at what is happening. No worrying about the future and what is to come. I will fix my gaze directly before me as I step forward on this path he has laid out.
