“My Expectations”
I have been thinking about a mission’s trip like this for almost a year now, and I have thought extensively about what would entail for 11 months. I have also especially been thinking about what we will be doing, and how we will do it the last month since being officially accepted. After dreaming about how the trip will go I have realized that some of it will go like I imagine, and some will be completely different from what I am expecting.
All I know is that I want exactly what the Lord wants to happen. I have a lot of hopes and ideas about what will happen on the trip, and I sincerely hope some of they do go how I think they will…
I want to : share the gospel to whoever will listen.
I want to : share my testimony in church or to any group of people who will listen.
I want to : live in some of the poorest places and experience what some people around the world live like every day.
I want to : impact people’s lives that have no hope and bring the love of Jesus to them, however possible.
I want to : travel the world and see all the different parts I can of God’s magnificent creation
I want to : work as hard as I can for 11 months entirely for the purpose of others (a selfless 11 months – putting off College, career, family, ect)
I want to : grow closer to the Lord and entirely rely on him during our trip for miracles and provision.
I want to : do some of the craziest things in countries we won’t get a chance to visit again.
I want to : meet some best friends who have the same passions for the rest of my life
I want to : live in and experience new cultures.
I want it to be hard, I want it to be an experience of my life, but above all; I want the Lords will to be done. I am realizing that I need to drop my “11 month itinerary” and let the Lord lead everything that happens on the trip.
