It's gonna be Wild! It's gonna be Great! It's gonna be full of Him! <3 I have a so many expectations, while at the same time having none……if that is at all possible.
I expect to have an incredible adventure, I expect to learn and grow, and discover more about myself. I expect to grow in my relationship with God, and for my heart to be broken for all the things that break my Heavenly Father's heart. I expect to develop close relationships with (currently) perfect strangers. I expect to have ridiculous amounts of fun, laughter, and joy. I expect to work hard, minister to others, and also to be ministered to myself. I look forward to lavishing love upon others, and also having it lavished upon me, and seeing and experiencing love in ways that I never have before. I expect sunburns, bug bites, and a lack of many of the North American luxeries that I have grown so used to. I expect change.
I don't expect to know everything that is going to be thrown my way, but I have the best teacher in the universe. I don't expect to always be comfortable, but God wants us to get awkward for Him. I don't expect to for everything to be easy, but life is a challenge, and in those times God will be my strength. I look forward to living in absolute abandon for everything that God has placed before me. I look forward to the personal growth that I will go through, and know that even now, as I prepare for this next season of my life, I am ever changing and growing in and through Him.
2 Cor 3:17-18 Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. 18 And we all, who with unveiled faces contemplate the Lord’s glory, are being transformed into his image with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit.
