I've read that every World Racer has expectations. Things they expect to learn on the Race. Ways they expect to see God move. Lives they expect to change. Ways they expect their lives changed. I don't know what God has for me on this adventure, but I do have a few expectations.
I expect to be completely broken. To let go of things that I don't even realize I'm holding on to. To reflect on my past. To cry. To be strengthened by Christ. To be built back up the way He wants. To see how much I take for granted. To be humbled. To hurt for God's people. To spread His Word. To recieve what He has for the nations. To give. To put complete trust in the Lord. To see Him provide. To see Him move. To heal the sick, raise the dead, & cast out demons in His name. To learn to hear His voice more clearly. To be uncomfortable. To grow spiritually. To spread the joy He has let grow in me. To laugh. To ask, seek, & knock. To focus solely on Christ. To have a deeper relationship with Him. To learn how to have deeper relationships with people. To see the pain and hurt in other countries. To relieve them of this pain. To want to take all of the orphans home. To try new things. To be completely changed. To learn to love & be loved by Him in a deeper way.
They say to let go of all your expectations because God will do the unexpected.
They say once you go on a mission trip, your life changes forever.
Only 8 more months.
