- to experience brokenness
- to grow closer to Christ
- to be renewed and restored
- to face challenges that will push me to my limits mentally and spiritually
- to find comfort within my community
- to see things that will forever be a part of me
- to miss eating dill pickles
- to miss my family but find strength through my new family
Those are just some basic expectations. It is hard to look at a year of your life and set expectations, especially when called into missions. There is no guarantee of what is to come. I do know that God is going to move in some powerful ways, ways that I can’t even imagine or comprehend at this moment. I realize that I will probably come to a point on this journey where I feel like I can’t go on. That is when I will pushed to rely solely on him! Change will be constant inside and out but the growth I experience will be everlasting. I hope that it sets me so on fire for God that , when the race is over and its time to go home, I won’t be satisfied to returning to life as it was.
