Tomorrow does hold the future

Wondering about the future is a natural part of life. I find myself over-whelmed at times because I want to accomplish big things. I once heard that if your dreams don't scare you, than they aren't big enough. That should be true. If what you want most in life is to be a doctor, that's scary because someone else's health is in your hands. If you want to be president, that would be scary to represent an entire country. The scariest thing I can think of is leaving the life you've known to be used by Christ in another country.
This dream reminds me of Peter. When Jesus said, "Follow Me and I will make you fishers of men," Peter dropped his whole life to become a disciple (Matthew 4:19.) Without any hesitation, he followed the person that he knew was the savior. This is how the Christian life must be. Although it may not be to this extreme, it does require complete submission. 
I only pray that I can be used to impact the world for Christ. I hope that when called, I can have the same faith that Peter did. I never want to be afraid of anything. Instead I want to put all my trust in the only thing that I am sure of, and thats Jesus.
