Expectations: one thing that we do so much is make assumptions and form expectations.
Why do we do this? ‘cause we have developed in to a people that need to know now. Why do we do this? Well, I think its ‘cause we see it as a way to make ourselves more comfortable when we actually get in a situation. It’s a coping mechanism. I know I’ve done it. I did it when I traveled to Germany. I had assumptions about a place I had never been and they formed my expectations of the trip.
I have Expectations and I’m sure I’ve made assumptions about what I’m going to experience on this Mission. This World Race.
I guess I’ll give a shot at laying some of my expectations down to paper.
I expect to find God in places I never thought possible
It might be a simple meal, a prayer, a song, a fan, a calm day, It could be anything.
I expect to experience things I never thought I would.
What it might be well that I’m not going to guess at cause It could be anything.
I expect to rethink some of my thoughts about life and my beliefs.
I pray that as I do this I follow God and his thoughts rather than my feelings and emotions
I assume that I will meet God where he is.
I pray that he moves me closer to him than I have ever been.
I expect that I will meet inspiring people from unexpected areas.
Each day someone will touch me in some way.
I expect to pray more than ever
Its not that I don’t pray, I just don’t pray a lot
I expect to cry, laugh, and love more than I ever have
I might start the day with laughing, and then minutes later it might be loving on someone and
then It might be crying tears of pain or of Joy.
All that I expect I’m sure I’ll be wrong, It may be the way that it happens, the experiences that I go through.
All that I truly know is that with God at my side and in my heart and as long as I let him lead my head and my heart, all will be ok, and that I will experience things I never thought possible.
All I truly Expect is GOD and LOVE.
