Expectations for the Mission Field
What do I expect from the mission field? To put it simply, I expect the unexpected. I have no idea what to expect, and that is scary. I do not know what awaits for me in the next 18 months, and that is an uneasy feeling. But what I do expect is to be forever CHANGED. I expect to never be the same. To see things that breaks my heart, to have a burden for Gods people all over the world. I expect at times to be broken, for God to break me completely down, on multiple occasions.
I have so many questions; it keeps me up almost every night. Who will be in my squad? What will I see? Who will I meet? Where I sleep? How will God use me? Will I get sick? What will I have to eat? How will I handle being away from my family? How will I be changed?
Although I have so many questions, I also expect to receive some answers to some major questions. What does God want from me? What do I want to do with my life? Where will I end up? I know that God is going to use this experience to show me the impossible and to mold me into what He wants me to be.
I not only expect God to forever change me, I expect to see God forever change the WORLD, and for me to merely be a participant in His plan 🙂 I believe that if I go into this experience expecting the unexpected that is exactly what I will find. I expect to see the broken hearted DELIEVERED, the sick HEALED, the lost FOUND, and for Gods children to be FOREVER CHANGED! And this excites me to no end!
I expect to have a rude awakening. Here in the states it is so easy to get wrapped up in our own little world, and we do not see that God has a great work for us to do! I want God to give me a new vision of the world. I want to see the world the way He sees it!
I am so excited to see what God has in store for me! And I know that it is beyond my wildest expectations!!
This Is One of my All time favorite songs! Thought I would share 🙂
