We were asked to write a blog about how we felt before leaving on this mission trip.  So, here is what I’m expecting…
 
Here is a list of some of my expectations but not in any particular order…
 
I Expect…

–  To hear from God more than ever before.
–  To be broken for His people like He is.
–  To meet some amazing new friends.
–  To see this world with a new perspective.
–  To learn to live in community with others.
–  To miss everyone I love back home.
–  To learn more about myself and others.
–  To be humbled.
–  To have tons O’ fun.
–  To strengthen my passion for Christ even further.
–  To love even harder than before.
–  To experience all new cultures and learn about their people.
–  To surrender myself to Him more and more each day.
–  To eat all different kinds of food.
–  To laugh, cry, scream, get frustrated, etc.
–  To see things I never thought possible. 
–  To see where my life is going after the race and hear Him tell me where He wants me.
–  To learn that none of the expectations could ever amount to the real thing and how amazing it is really going to be!!
 
I have tons of excitement for this journey I am about to experience and cannot wait to let God do all of these things and more in me.  I cannot wait to fulfill this calling upon my life and I am extremely thankful for every part of it.  I am already amazed by His amazing love and cannot imagine how I will feel coming home. 🙂
