My expectations for THE WORLD RACE- Team July 2010!
I expect so many things on this trip but here are a few of them!
THE RACE-
I expect to be broken physically, mentally and spiritually.
To be exhausted, A LOT!
To watch many beautiful sunsets with my teammates and to be in awe of God’s creation!
To explore this earth and admire the beauty of all the cultures that we will get to see!
I hope to eat so many weird foods that I could never try at home!
I expect to blog…. A LOT!
I expect to fall a lot… (I have a bad reputation of being clumsy)
I expect my hunger for Christ and adventure to be filled.
I expect to learn native dances and to shake my groove thing while looking like an idiot!
I expect to try and find ways to substitute familiar things and to be very unique and creative at it.
I plan on meeting so many beautiful people and trying to figure out a way to take them with us as we travel from place to place.
I expect my life to be like the music video to the song “SAY HEY- I LOVE YOU”
(If you haven’t seen it or heard that song, CHECK IT OUT!)
MY TEAM-
I am so excited that I will get to meet you guys soon! I love you already! I love everyone’s sense of humor and their willingness to serve the Lord! You guys rock!
I EXPECT-
To form life long friendships and a special bond that can never be taken away.
To dance and look like an idiot along side all of you!
To form hand motions to our favorite songs!
To cry, scream, laugh, argue, eat weird foods, be there when somebody has a bad day, to pass out on your shoulder in an airplane (Sorry if I snore ahead of time lol), to form many inside jokes, to love, to CRY, to share playlist, to share clothes, to SHARE in general, to fight and then get over it, to laugh and giggle at different countries toilets, to make last min toilet paper runs, to learn how to burp (It is a life long goal that I still haven’t mastered), to be dirty, smelly, gross, and LOVE IT!
LETS GET DIRTY FOR JESUS!
=)
FROM MYSELF-
I expect to learn to be patient, to learn compassion, to open myself up and be vulnerable (Which will be VERY HARD), to understand life in a whole new way, to be broken and restored over and over again, to experience a rollercoaster of emotions, to become truly strong instead of just pretending I am, to feel like I have finely figured out God and then be completely taken over and amazed by his glory all over again, To try and touch people and be completely touched by them in return, To have a *Mountain Top Experience* every single day, to forget myself and to lose everything, to panic on several occasions thinking I lost my backpack, to come back a completely different person, and to GROW UP.
This trip isn’t just an 11 month mission trip to 11 different countries, it is something that will change all our lives forever. Starting with when you found out that you were excepted. This isn’t just a trip and it doesn’t end after the 11 months are up… For me this is only the beginning to a new and beautiful life. Who knows where I will be going when I get home after this… I guess that’s the beauty of it. The mystery… which leads me to our mystery route, yes I want to know where we are going but in a way I don’t. Our route is like life. Nobody knows where we will end up… All we know is that we were all called into this together for a purpose and that’s really all that matters. Now all we have to do is find out what that purpose is! Love you guys!
