Expectations are an interesting thing. I have always been
one to believe in having big expectations. I think that one must think big, dream big, take big
chances, and have BIG expectations.
The more life experiences I have, I realize that my expectations are not
always met. I do not mean this in
a negative manner, but I have found that when I am walking with God and seeking
Him my expectations are blown away and far exceeded by the plan that God has
for me. So I am writing this also
humbly expecting that God knows what will happen on the entirely of this trip. That being said here are my
expectations…
~ To be stretched, pushed, and molded more closely to be
like Him
~To be out of my comfort zone
~ To seek God in ways I have never have before
~To see, experience, and be a part of miracles that I have
only heard about
~ To have a better understanding of God and how he loves His
children
~To live in community through all the triumphs and trials
the year will bring
~To be broken
~To find redemption, healing, and total surrender throughout
the year
~To have overwhelming joy and overwhelming sorrow
~To learn to live with less of me and more of Him
~To serve and learn to live in a way that my life is not
about me
~To fall more in love with the Lord
~To be changed in a way that my life will never be the same
~To miss my family and friends like crazy
~To create amazing memories with incredible people in
fantastic countries
~To want to go home and never want to leave over the course
of the race
~To laugh, be silly, and make a fool of myself often
~To fall in love with children all over the world
~To be put through the refiners fire
