“My Living Expectations “
We where asked to write a blog about how we felt before leaving on this mission trip. Here is what I’m expecting…
So, the same weekend that I am assigned to write this blog about my expectation, I hear the Sunday church sermon from my pastor titled ‘Killing Your Expectations’ (what timing huh?). But the expectations that limit God and demand a certain outcome is the matter that is subject to death.
I do expect me and my team to listen to the Lords direction and be obedient. And I expect the Power of the Lord to go before us and be in the mist of us at all times. Of course there are so many expectations within the mention of those three such as healings of the sick, salvations, all needs provided for, deliverances and so on… 
I also have great expectations for the unity between me, my fellow team members, and all of our partners who have chosen to be apart of His ministry of reaching the world through their mighty prayers in faith and their generous financial support.
I expect to find a sense of understanding in how to reach multiple cultures and people of different backgrounds, beliefs, and spirits. I expect to serve the Lord and His will with all my heart, soul, mind, and strength. And I expect to establish and build lasting sister/brother relationships throughout the whole world and right here in my own home town.
There are many expectations that flood my mind when I think about this mission and the part that I have in it and the part that the Lord has in it. Still, I dwell on all His promises that are in His Word, and trust Him to live through me in ways that I would never imagine.
