We were asked to write a blog about how we felt before leaving on this mission trip. Here is what I’m expecting…
Expectations are hard to set when you don’t know for sure what is going to happen on the trip. I can set expectations but God will surprise me with others. I guess for the blogs sake, I will set some:) Here is what I expect to become of me….the me I know right now……

E nlightened by God’s grace even in utter turmoil.
X rayed to my very marrow, revealing the woman I can become in Christ.
P ushed to complete exhaustion and still having to keep going even when I feel like I am stuck in setting concrete.
E nergized by God’s works and the miracles that happen through prayer.
C onsumed by the love and passion around me.
T ransformed for life in whatever way God sees fit.

This trip is going to be hard, fulfilling, scary, exciting, and amazing. Miracles will happen and we all will be changed in more ways then one. We will be twisted and pulled in directions we never thought possible; and that is okay. Grace, Faith, and Prayer is enough and will carry this trip. Even so, it is still hard to think about leaving…
This is pure bliss reflected on the innocent’s face!
My niece is a year and a half and my best little buddy. We hang out a lot and I have been with her since day one of her precious life. She loves me and is obsessed with me…..and I am obsessed with her….it’s awesome. We have a lot of fun riding my bike, dancing, yelling……..oh and a secret handshake. I am concerned about leaving her and that our relationship won’t be the same when I return. That is something I need to learn to let go of and is also something I could use a lot of prayer about. I also have to let go of what I will miss out on with all my friends at work and of course my family.
This is pure bliss reflected on the innocent’s face! The World Race is something I cannot imagine not doing and I keep reminding myself about that. I am miserable when I think about not doing it, and am full of butterflies and joy when I think about doing it. I know that this is the thing for me and that my life will forever be changed. I expect change……..
