Expectations of My Missions Trip

I have been thinking about my expectations quite a bit lately. I
wish to write some of this in pencil so that I can come back and erase
the insignificant stuff. I can’t think of a lot that I would feel
comfortable writing in pen–the permanent and important stuff. The
great news is, though, that I have a password and log-in to this site
so I can change anything I want if I choose to do so later. So with
that said, I’ll procrastinate no longer and put into writing my
expectations for this trip…

 

I expect to be completely changed and transformed.
And I hate saying in what ways because I don’t think I could imagine
the best possible change or transformation.

I expect to witness God move in ways that I have
been too blind and arrogant to see previous to being taken out of my
comfort zone. 

I expect to meet and form relationships with AMAZING people.

I expect to be broken, brokenhearted, lost (in any sense of the word), worried, etc. etc. etc.

I expect to be joyful, content, excited, encouraged, etc. etc. etc.

I expect so much. But I also expect God to give me more than I could ever dream of and less than what I think I deserve. 

I expect to come back and look at this and say, “you had no idea…”

 

This
is my most brief blog, but I think that’s okay. There is more great
news: I have a year to describe to you my travels, desires,
expectations, and God’s will that over-rides, debunks, empowers, and
changes all of it!
