aren't you scared?

this is a question that has actually been asked of me more often in light of my upcoming trip to india. i always think its funny how that question is usually followed by some story they heard of how dangerous things are over there or the extreme poverty they've heard of over there. by nature i am not one to be deterred by danger/fear but that question just increases the excitement i feel about the trip. last sunday the pastor was talking about freedom and a light went on in my head as i put the pieces together. i really have nothing to fear because God has granted me the freedom from fear and if i am doing His will then i really have nothing to worry about. i love these lyrics from "our God" by chris tomlin:

And if our God is for us, then who could ever stop us.
And if our God is with us, then what could stand against.
And if our God is for us, then who could ever stop us.
And if our God is with us, then what could stand against.
What could stand against. 

it reminds me that i really have nothing to fear. what would you do if you truly had nothing to fear?
