Wow, where to start. I am excited and nervous, both I suppose are pretty normal.
I expect:
- To see hard things, things that make me ever more grateful for what I have been blessed with
- To see amazing sights, things that remind me of how awesome our creator really is
- To eat new, exciting and possibly disgusting foods
- To be well outside my “comfort zone,” to be stretched, to grow
- To have my heart broken daily, to learn to trust God more fully, to rely upon him in my time of need
- To sing, to dance, to laugh, to cry, to join together with others in LOVE
- To be a good friend to someone ~ a listening ear, a shoulder to cry on. And to need a good friend
- To be exhausted and tired and unable to sleep
- To become comfortable in my own discomfort
- To wish desperately that I could speak another language well
- To never want to come home, to want to go home and never leave
- TO LIVE LIFE IN FULL COLOR!!!
- To eat new, exciting and possibly disgusting foods
But most of all I expect to grow in my relationship with Jesus Christ. Gal. 5:22-23 “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.”
