I’m sure this is a list I will add on to more and more as the trip gets closer, but for now here are somethings I expect the Lord to do on this trip:
Completely break my heart
Help me see people through His eyes
Build my passion for Him and wanting to share His love with the world
See healings and miracles beyon what I’ve ever imagined
Learn what it means to be fully dependant on God
Make a difference in someone’s life
Grow closer than I knew was possible with the Lord
See how God can use me if I let him
Learn about the different cultures and religions in the places we’ll travel
See the beauty that God has made
Come back changed
Build many lifelong friendships, even if it’s with people I’ll never get to see again
Serve people who truely need it, and have possibly never experienced that before
To obey the Lord and follow Him blindly
Find what it means to really step out of my comfort zone
To come back and be disgusted at the life I used to live
And after all that, I have no idea what to expect. Leaving the comfort of my family and friends will be tough. Letting God change me will be a hard, emotional process, but in the end, i know every struggle and hard time along the way will be more than worth it! I worry about being able to raise the funds, but again, know that if this is God’s plan for my life, it will work out and I don’t need to worry. The thought of what God will do in 11 months scares me and excites me, and I can’t wait for June!
