-I expect to feel scared at times
-I expect to talk to God and feel His love
-I expect to be changed
-I expect to eat foods that may be really weird

“I cry out, for Your loving hands to heal me…I am weak, and I need Your love to fill me. You are my hope, and Your promise never fails me, and my desire is to follow You forever.”
