However I can’t help, but have high expectations for this trip. I know that it’s going to be a long difficult time, but I also know that the entire time I’m gone I will be growing closer to Christ. I’m planning on not only telling people about Jesus, but showing them what he has done in my life. I’m sure there will be not only physical exertion, but I also expect to be mentally and emotionally drained and renewed at the same time by the time I get home. I know how wonderful I feel after just spending a weekend or a week at camp or a convention with God. Getting to spend and entire 9 months in that atmosphere is indescribable and I haven’t even experienced it yet!
I know that even though I expect great things God is going to show me even greater things while I’m out on the field and even when I return home! I just want to let God use me in whatever way He can and as much as He possibly can. I am so excited to work with people and use my hands and every ability that I have to help people outside of my own little world here in western PA.
