Peace Talks Deteriorate

An interesting twist in the internship... possibility of war in Sri Lanka. I knew that there was political unrest but the possibility of war while I'm there has me questioning, do I go or do I stay? It didn't take me too long to come to the conclusion that the only way I will not go is if God tells me to stay.

I will admit though that the prospect of war is scary. I've never experienced anything even remotely close to severe conflict. I've never even experienced the death of a close loved one! I'm grateful for that but I am totally unprepared for dealing with war in any shape or form.

I realize that where I am going is remote and the chances of the war affecting me personally is just as remote but there still is that possibility.

On the other hand maybe the experience of being in a country torn by war might be good for me. Maybe there is something that I need to learn or understand... I know one thing for sure I am not going to pass up the opportunity because of fear.
