My expectations of the world race…

I guess you could say i have high expectations of my race.  I serve a extraordinary God so it only makes sense that this chapter of my life will be nothing less than extraordinary!  I expect for God to totally rock my world!  I expect for my character to be built and my faith to be strengthened.  I expect to feel God’s love for me so strong that i can’t help but transfer that love to others.  I expect to see God’s glory and power displayed like a constant fireworks show everyone watch’s in wonder and awe.  I expect to know and love God so much deeper than i ever have before.  I expect to be overwhelmed by the things i will see, good, bad, and ugly.  I expect to meet some of the coolest brothers and sisters in Christ serving God all over the world.  I expect to be stretched, molded, shaped, torn,  refined, and made into the woman of God i am meant to be from before the foundations of the world.  I expect to have a new family that has my back as much as my biological family does and will keep me in line and call me out when i need it.  I expect to have good days and not so good days.  I expect to miss my family and friends like crazy to the point it hurts and i want give up and come home.  Then i expect God to pour out His grace and mercy on my like a flood to keep me going.  I expect to do the things that Jesus did, but greater.  I expect to be humbled.  I expect to change atmospheres, minds, hearts, and souls.  I expect to bring hope to the hopeless, help to the helpless, love to the unloved, and joy to the sad and brokenhearted.  I expect to change the destiny of precious, lost souls.  I expect to come home a different woman.  I expect the unexpected!
