I’ll be honest…the topic of my expectations for the World Race is a hard one to put into words/write about. I have many…
I expect…
- To see Jesus in a completely different way.
- To grow closer to God than I’ve ever been.
- To face my junk.
- To become close with people I never would have met if it weren’t for the WR.
- To miss my family more than I ever thought possible.
- To be ok with not having constant Internet access/cell phone use.
- To smell and have greasy hair (if you know me, you know I like to be clean) and not care!
- To trust God more than I ever thought possible.
- To get rid of the “plan” I’ve always had for my life and give it completely to God.
- To ache for my nieces and nephews.
- To see some of God’s most beautiful creations.
- To have my heart broken for what breaks God’s heart.
- To experience the greatest joy I’ve ever felt.
- To wish I could pick up the phone and call my friends or get a hug from any of my church family
- To gain new family in 11 different countries.
- To come back wanting to adopt as many kids as God tells me (I’m already talking about it).
- To have culture shock in other countries and in the US when I get back.
These are just a few of my expectations. They change daily even hourly but one thing I know for sure is I expect to NEVER be the same. This is going to be life changing and I can’t wait. It has already started. I also know that my expectations will be exceeded. That’s just how God is.
Thanks for reading! =]
Heart and Soul,
