We were asked to write a blog about how we felt before leaving on this mission trip. Here is what I’m expecting…
I’m having a hard time coming up with what exactly to write for this blog. On the one hand, I don’t want to have too many expectations because I’m really excited to just see how God shows up and provides. But on the other hand I do have certain expectations that I don’t seem to be able to put them together cohesively in a nice little list. I do expect to come back from this trip completely changed and having seen God move in powerful ways. I do expect to fall completely in love with him and see that love grow. I expect to experience community in a way I have never before considering I have never spent this much time with this many people in this type of way. I expect to be uncomfortable and have days where I get selfish and want my own way, a warm bed, my own space, and I start to miss all the comforts of my life here, but I also expect to be used to spread God’s love and give hope to people in ways I never thought possible. And I also expect to see a multitude of different places, experiencing different cultures, and different ways of worshipping God.
