during training camp we learned a great deal about having expectations,  here’s what I’m expecting for the next 11 months-

 
my thoughts
* overwhelming to plan the next year of my life to be away from home & to be on an adventure away from home in only 2 months
* the events in my loved ones life that i will miss by being away
* my cat
* what struggles will my team face, as a whole & individule
* safety and health on this trip

 
my feelings:
* excited for such an adventure, people & places
* really love my squad & team mates, growing deeper in my faith
* cant wait to see how God will use me and show me my gifts
* anticipation of how God will stretch me this next year
* missing my family / friends, but knowing they will be taken care of
 
During this trip i believe that the Lord will teach me how to depend on Him, hear Him, move me on this trip by stretching me, showing me my gifts, allowing me to come into my own self, and show the Lord’s love through gentle grace.
