We were asked to write a blog about how we felt before
leaving on this mission trip. Here is what I’m expecting…

 
I am expecting The World Race to be a lot of things. It will be a time
to serve, a time to learn, a time to lead, a time to follow, a time to love and most of all a time to
surrender
.
 
The World Race is a opportunity to serve the people of the world that were not blesses with
even the basics in life, the ones that have had to fight for everything they
have ever gotten, the people that are hungry, sick, lost, lonely and abandoned.
Matthew 25:31-46
 
The World Race
is an opportunity to learn about the Lord and all his wonderful creations. It is an opportunity to be surrounded by
solid, caring, loving Christians.
Hebrews12:1-3 
 
The World Race is an opportunity to lead. I have been blessed with the opportunity to be a team leader and I am
excited to see what God has in store for this portion of the trip. Joshua 1:9
 
The World Race is an opportunity to love. Gods greatest two commandments are first, love the Lord your God with
all your heart with all your soul and with all your mind and second, love your
neighbor as your yourself. My expectation for myself is that I will center the
trip around those two principles and everything else will fall into place. Matthew
22:36-40
 
The World Race is an opportunity for me to surrender all my worldly desires and live by but His will not mine. I throw up my
arms Lord, you have my life. luke 9:23-27
