Disobedience
It seems missions has been a central theme recently, with friends having come back from missions trips, friends going on missions, and countless sermons on putting your faith into action. I know it's no concidence, I know God is talking to me, but I've been trying to run away. I'm afraid that if I let God, my life will take a turn I've never imagined. And right now I'm too happy being comfortable where I am. Shame on me.

Dude, you are so dedicated to serving the Church. Praise the Lord. I am fortunate to have a brother like you to be in my fellowship.
Missions can be in other countries and can be local. The question isn't whether you should be going on missions or what not. If God tells you to go..by all means..go :).
Locally, there is a lot that we can do as well. Take a look at Mississauga. There is 700,000 people. A whole group of them does not know Christ or experience His Love.
Or your friends or your neighbours or your co-workers...will you be willing to hold their hand in their pain and suffer with them. Just as Christ died for us?
I am not telling you you should go to mission or not. That question only you can answer.
The question should be instead focus on, are you using your life to worship? If you are doing exactly that..then great. Keep doing what you are doing and be a good testimoney to the non-believers.
That fear that you have...it's normal. Whenever you do something great, it is always the first emotion. There is nothing wrong with fear..just don't let it stop you.

That's exactly how I felt. That;s why I couldn't commit to complete submission at the conference. I always thought to myself,I love my comfy life. If I tell God that I am willing, then he's going to put me into uncomfortable situations (God, please don't send me to africa)....but after speaking to the guy who told me "through submission, I found freedom" and he "traded in" his engineering job for seminary, his girlfriend of 4 years dumped him..and an uncertain future, he told me he has no regrets...and I envy him.
