i really have no idea what this year will bring, but i do expect a few things…..
-I expect to have my heart broken for the lost, the marginalized, the mistreated, and the lonely
-I expect to learn to what true sacrifice looks like.
-I expect to learn more about myself than I want to know.
-I expect to grow in my knowledge of the Lord.
-I expect to be in awe of God’s grace and mercy, captured by His Love, and marveled by His compassion.
-I expect to be wrecked in the absolute best way possible, my life turned upside down and my heart filled
with more love than it feels capable of holding.
I expect to miss my friends and family an inexpressible amount.
I ALSO EXPECT……
to laugh.
to be so exhausted i want to sleep for 74 hours straight.
to dance.
to crave Bojangles 4pc Chicken Supreme combo with BBQ sauce.
to make things we experience somehow relate to an episode of Friends.
to teach Dance Marathon dances to anyone willing to learn.
to find a starbucks and order a triple grande caramel macchiato.
to want to pick up a child we meet and hide them in my book bag to take home with me.
to cry….. often. due to many factors, but it will happen.
to miss my roomies, LA CASA VERDE, and the CIRCLE OF LIFE
to long for something familiar.
to make great friends.
to be forever changed.
