I had put great thought into my expectations of this trip. I imagined many spiritual, emotional, and physical struggles that I may endure and how I would cope with each challenge. I imagined all of the potential miracles that the Lord would perform and all the wisdom that He would impart to our team members.
However, as I reflect upon these expectations, I realized that I had already projected the events to come on our journey. So, what would happen if the projections that I developed for this trip did not reach fruition? I will tell you…I would once again be reminded by the Lord that I am not in control of my life. As I think about all of the struggles that we may encounter, I am reminded by the Lord to “not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself”. As I think about my expectations of experiencing a “miracle” or receiving “wisdom”, I really have no idea of what to expect.
So, as I prepare to embark on this journey in just a few short months, I will try to relinquish control over my expectations/desired results and let the Lord reveal His plans to me.
