WE WERE ASKED TO WRITE A BLOG ABOUT HOW WE FELT BEFORE LEAVING ON THIS MISSION TRIP.
HERE IS WHAT I AM EXPECTING……………
I EXPECT TO SEE LIVES CHANGED; I EXPECT MY LIFE TO BE CHANGED
I EXPECT TO MISS MY FAMILY AND FRIENDS; I EXPECT TO BECOME FAMILY WITH MY TEAM
I EXPECT TO EXPECT THE UNEXPECTED…..I DON’T KNOW IF THAT EVEN MAKES SENSE?
I EXPECT TO ABANDON EVERYTHING, AND TO FIND FREEDOM IN THIS
I EXPECT TO HOLD THE ORPHANS
AND DEMONSTRATE
THE LOVE OF CHRIST
I EXPECT TO GROW TIRED AND WEARY, BUT TO FIND REST IN CHRIST
I EXPECT TO CRY AND TO LAUGH
I EXPECT TO HAVE COMPASSION FOR THE LOST (MATT 9:36)
I EXPECT TO BE
DEPENDENT
ON GOD FOR
EVERYTHING
I EXPECT TO LEARN TO BE VULNERABLE
I EXPECT TO FIND JOY IN SERVING THE PEOPLE OF THESE DIFFERENT COUNTRIES
I EXPECT TO HAVE TO TRY NEW FOODS
I EXPECT
TO
FACE
MY
FEARS
I EXPECT TO LOVE / HATE LIVING OUT OF A BACKPACK
I EXPECT TO LEARN MORE ABOUT WHO I AM IN CHRIST
I EXPECT TO LIVE SIMPLY, BUT EXPERIENCE EXTRAORDINARY THINGS
I EXPECT TO
BE AMAZED BY
THE BEAUTY
GOD CREATED
AND LASTLY, I AM LEARNING TO RELEASE ALL MY EXPECTATIONS……….
