On the World Race, I expect to…
- get to know Jesus on a whole new level and rely on Him like never before
- bawl my eyes out because I miss my family, boyfriend, and dog
- have major stomach issues
- become a vegetarian by the time the race is over
- cry when leaving each country because I'll miss the new family I met there (crying seems to be a common theme here…)
- be more annoyed with people than I've ever been in my life, but also have them become my best friends
- miss my bro and all our stupid antics like mad
- have my heart broken by the poverty and suffering that much of the world experiences on a daily basis
- read the Bible cover to cover
- get a major sunburn (or a few)
- really miss Tar Heel basketball season
- experience the highest of highs and the lowest of lows
- see the Holy Spirit at work in a tangible way
- get used to long, uncomfortable (let's be honest – hellacious), bus rides
- throw up in every country (please God no)
- see people accepting Jesus and experiencing the ultimate joy
- eat some crazy ish
- be scared out of my mind at times
- be called out for my crap and work on my faults
- stop caring about "stuff"
- look like a complete scrub with frizzed out hair and no makeup
- take a bajillion trillion pictures
- understand what's truly important and what isn't
- stop trying to control things and just trust Jesus
- get a tattoo
- finally grasp that God is REALLY with me…all the time…no matter what
- be extremely glad in the end to have stepped out in faith to what God has called me to do
