Expectations.. we all have them. Some are good, some are not so good. I'm a teacher I typically have expectations, met and unmet. I expect my students to do their best, behave well, and participate. I expect them to try and work hard. They have expectations for me. They want me to teach them and help them learn English. Their parents have expectations, my principal has expectations, and I have expectations for myself. Bottom line we all have expectations.
While expectations are something we all have, they have to be kept in check…. When I was told we had to blog I was okay with it. I felt that I could do it… but now that I'm writing blogs.. well it's so much harder than I thought it would be. Expectation one already shattered.. writing a blog is difficult.
Alright I have expectations about this trip, and what will happen. So here I go…
1. Well that was that blogging wouldn't be too difficult.. but I already said that has been shattered.
2. I expect my expectations to be shattered.
3. I expect this to be really hard.
4. I expect to be challenged in ways I could never imagine.
5. I expect to leave my heart in every country.
6. I expect to want to adopt every child I meet.
7. I expect to be wrecked and broken in ways I never thought possible.
8. I expect to find community living difficult and awesome all at the same time.
9. I expect to find the constant change overwhelming at first but something eventually I'll understand.
10. I expect the process to be tough.
11. I expect to have my faith grow and my trust in my Savior multiply to depths I never thought could happen.
12. I expect to see things and miracles that I could never expect to see.
These are some of the biggest ones I have. I know that some may happen some will ring true and some may be broken. I know my God is bigger than any thing, person, and this universe. I am placing my trust in Him.
