Today I am writing about my expectations, I am trying my best to to avoid having expectations about this trip and leave everything in His hands, but in all honesty I do have expectations. A big thing that I am expecting is that i will be rocked by many things. I truly believe that when I come home from this trip that i will be a changed person, no longer taking advantage of all that is given to me with little to no cost or effort. I am expecting to have times of brokenness where my comfort can only come from the Lord, and also see people who are broken and not know what to do to help them. I am going to see things that I have never witnessed before and I know that i can't just turn around and walk away, that isn't what the Lord would want me to do. I will see great depression and need and I am one of the ones being called to help anywhere I can without passing judgment on those I am helping or in the situation.
I am also expecting to have the time of my life. What could be better than putting all you have in the Lord and living in his blessing. I know that in order to change and to bring change that I am going to have to trust in God, and not just a little but whole heartedly and without limits. I am also expecting to meet many new amazing people and to form a new family while on the trip and after. I am looking forward to seeing how things are going to move in my life and continue to form who i am and who i will be.
I am expecting:
tears and joy
tiredness and rest
weakness and strengths
long sleepless nights and moments that seem to fly by
painful times and life changing experiences
but above all i am expecting Jesus.
