so we were told to blog about how we got into missions and our expectations for the trip. i have some expectations but i also think some of the excitement is that i am open and excited to see what’s to come.
as for expectations:
i expect to be broken. i expect to have my faith tested. i expect to at some point to want to go home. i expect to cry. i expect to see things i have never seen (and possibly will never want to see again). i expect to encounter pain. i expect that God’s grace and mercy will prevail through all of this. i expect that i will fall in love with the Lord. i expect that i will enter into His presence like never before. i expect to meet many wonderful people who will teach me more about life and who will show me how little i know about life. i expect to see the power of the Holy Spirit. i expect to understand true joy and hope through Jesus Christ. i expect that this trip will change my life.
i hope that i will be broken and through my brokenness i will be able to serve the Lord and serve humanity. i hope that i will be able to show love in what i do and that my thoughts, words, and actions will be glorifying to our Heavenly Father. i hope that the Holy Spirit can work through me and that there is more of Him and less of me. i hope that i can be a true disciple. i hope this change will be lasting.
