Im not giving up my expectations!!!!!!! When you start the world race the number one thing they tell you to do is to get rid of all your expectations when it comes to your trip. I have to admit, when I think of my expectations of this trip and what I have to look forward to I feel like my expectations are realistic. I expect that this trip will be one of the hardest things I will ever do in my life. I Expect to have moments were I want to quit, moments were people will get on my last nerves, moments were I will not act like a disciple of Christ, moments of selfishness and pride, but I also expect to see God radically move in my life and the lives of the ones around me. I expect to see God in a new way, expect to learn more about him and what it means to be a true disciple of Christ. I expect to learn and see first-hand the power of the Holy spirit. But most of all I EXPECT to be changed
And that is the one expectation that I REFUSE to give up.
Im going on the trip expecting for God to work in my life and change me. I don’t know what that change will look like but Im not planning on coming back from this trip not having learned anything or grown in any area of my life. I can stay home and experience the same ol same ol. I EXPECT for God to move, to teach me and to open my eyes to who he is. I expect to learn more of what it means to Love God with all my heart soul and mind. I expect to learn what it means to be a part of the kingdom of Christ. I expect to learn more about how God loves me and how I should love others. These are not expectations im willing to give up. When it comes down to it, this journey is a journey that I am taking with Him leading the way. I expect him to lead me, teach me, show me, comfort me , love me and guide me. After all, He is my heavenly Father. He knows me better than I know myself and he loves me more than I could ever know. And He promised to never leave me nor forsake me.
So I expect my God to show up and show out on this trip. I expect for Him to blow my mind. I Expect my God to amaze me.
I expect all of this because of the simple fact that HE IS the great I AM.
