I
not only expect these changes to occur, I know they will through his grace.

I
expect:

        
to
live unlike ever before

        
to
breathe the air of cultures I have only ever dreamed of

        
to
be broken into a man of God in which
there is no return

        
to
sing praises with my guitar around the world

        
to
be a light to the lost

        
to
eat authentic food everywhere

        
to
play with children in
Africa

        
to
return safely at the end of my trip

        
to
finish the race

        
to
encounter darkness

        
to
still have my gear when I return home

        
to
have fun

        
to
never lose faith, hope, and trust in my teammates

        
to
see exotic animals in the wild

        
to
not get eaten by exotic animals in the wild

        
to
eat authentic Thai food

        
to
find my calling in a career

        
to
understand kindness

        
to
find patience

        
to
be a miracle

        
to
see a miracle

        
to
touch lives I never knew existed and for those lives to carry in my heart
forever

I have too many expectations honestly. God has
called me to leave everything to travel for 11 months around the world
spreading His Word so I expect much. But just as I submitted to his word to
apply for this trip, so will I to all he holds for me during my travels.
