When we go into anything we have expectations. Although those are very rarely met. The person we are meeting looks nothing like we thought, the event was not as stressful as we though it would be, our significant other’s parents actually liked you….etc. We come up with all of these ideas in our heads as to how situations will play out.
When I think about the Race and what to Expect the only word that can grasp it is ‘Change’. Yes, I plan to work with children in orphanages, women and young girls that are victims of human trafficking, and working in school, among other things; these things are going to be amazing. I have never experienced anything like it in my life. I will meet so may new people and see so many new things. I literally can not wait to get to see the world. What i expect is in the months leading up to the Race for God to ‘change‘ the way I view the world. I ask Him everyday to prepare my eyes and heart for what I will witness. I want to see the world as He sees it. I hope that by doing this I will be ‘changed‘. I will have the compassion and strength I need to endure the things I will see and do. I have no doubt that this experience is going to be life changing for me, I hope that in the coming months God works in my heart so that I can help change someone else’s life.
I know things are going to change, I am going to leave my family and everything I know. But I also know that I am serving an amazing God. He will protect and guide me. I am so ready for this experience. I know that my expectations are nothing compared to what God is actually going to do in the next 21 months in my life and the lives of those I come in contact with.
Expect the impossible from God.
