I expect to be amazed by God, to see His love revealed in and through me. I expect to build relationships that will affect me in ways that will surpass my comprehension, relationships that will reveal the passion that is His heart, relationships that will renew purpose and share the hope that is Christ Jesus to all I meet, and friends and family here at home.
I expect to be broken and busted inside out, where I come to a new understanding of His purpose and direction in my life. I expect to be challenged in every way, grow as a disciple and grow in servant-hood. I have a desire to learn about new cultures, peoples and their overall way of life; yes, I expect to even learn a great deal. To be a first hand observer of what most of us in the world often see, a material lack with certain peoples and even yet, the contentment that inspires.
For me, you see, I love the adventure, the travel, experiencing new people and cultures altogether, but what I am expecting is a huge part I think, of me going on this trip. In a short summary of her expectations within a nice written blog, one of my teammates honestly captures where my hearts’ at. Her descriptions of expecting her “passions and desires to change”, and being “broken and totally undone” among others are but a caption of what I think is well worth a read. So yes, do please check it out….here!
