Training camp is rapidly approaching my way. In the midst of losing my full time job, looking for another, starting a new part time position as assistant sunday school teacher, moving, fundraising (or lack thereof) things have been crazy to say the least. But God is so, so, so good and patient with me. He’s providing and slowly, little by little I’m letting go of my own need to control my circumstances. Mostly because He’s really left me no choice in the matter. So now I simply get to do my part and wait to see just how much God loves me that He would provide everything I need because that’s what He does. And He likes doing those things. But with training camp only a month away, I’m just now beginning to realize it’s happening. I asked to be sent, and I’m going. Along with that, it also means it’s time to actually sit still and think and pray about my expectations of this amazing opportunity I have for the Kingdom. So here’s what I have so far.
I expect:
- Amazing moments of redemption. Not only in the lives of locals in each country but also in the lives of my teammates and I.
- I completely expect to be broken in new ways.
- I am expecting many moments of stepping much farther than my own comfort zone would allow in any other ordinary circumstance.
- I expect to see the Father move in miraculous ways (physical, emotional, spiritual healing, miraculous provision and who knows what else).
- I want and expect to experience deeper levels of surrender to Christ.
- Really I’m just expecting. Hoping. Waiting. Joyful because I know that what it all comes down to are the Kingdom agendas of my beautiful, wonderful God. All I really want to know is God’s plan and will and what it looks like for me to step in line with what He’s inviting my team and I into over those 11 months!
