i definitely have no idea what to expect on this trip and i like it that way. i am expecting for my mind to be blown, thats really all i know. with that said, i’ll try to list a few things…
to be shaken out of the american routine i live in
for my heart to physically ache
to be hungry all the time
i expect to feel awkward and stupid
to get to see some pretty awesome places i may have never seen otherwise
to cry unashamedly
to fight against the change that will be happening in me
to be dirtier than i have ever been and to not worry about it
to not think about work, clothes, shopping, retirement, cell phones, cars, tv etc for a year
to be forced to deal with conflict
to live in and see true community from the way we live, how we use our money etc
to learn to love people who i consider unlovable
to be humbled over and over and over and over and over
to learn to be still and quiet and patient
for this to be the hardest thing i’ve ever done
to be wrecked and not be able to live life as i know it
i’m pumped.
