Being careful is not the point

I was telling a friend about an upcoming mission trip to Honduras where my son and I will be canoeing down a remote river to the Mosquito coast to show the “Jesus Video” to the Garifuna tribe. They told me to “be careful” that a friend of theirs had returned from a similar trip with a parasite and lost 40lbs. I thought to myself, a) where can I get that parasite and b) I don’t want to be careful, I want to be obedient, filled, used, courageous and effective. Sometimes those things just can’t be done with careful.
