I am very hesitant to talk about my expectations.

Why?

Because I feel as though every time I have expectations of my own, God blows them out of the water!

For this trip I expect…

God to move:

mountains.
across the world.
in & through me.
in & through my team.
in & through the people we will meet.
in & through those who read my blog (and my teammates’ blogs).

 
 

To miss:

my family.
my friends.
Olivet.
toilets.
watching the White Sox & Jazz games.
Kalyn’s clothes.

 
 

To be broken:

by the things I see.
by the people I meet.
through the tragedies I may encounter.
completely.
wholly.
sweetly.

 
 

To love:

God more & more each day.
my teammates.
the people I meet.
new types of food.
new cultures.
& be loved.

 

To laugh.
To
cry.
To
share.
To
pray.
To be
filled with joy.

To LOVE LOVE LOVE!

 
Most of all, I want to expect nothing. I want God to take any and all of my expectations and blow them out of the water just as He has been doing all along.
