That title pretty much sums up my expectations.
#1—-Healing. I expect God to move in ways I have never seen before. Previous racers' stories about God answering prayer give me chills. I have never seen anyone healed in front of me, but that would be the most amazing thing in the entire universe.
#2—-Humility. God has already begun this process of humbling me. He has shown me how prideful I can be and if I am to be like Him, I need to knock down every ounce of pride. For me, there is no better way to learn humility but from someone who has way less than I do. I expect to feel ashamed at how prideful I have been.
#3—-Dependence. This is an extremely hard one. I like to think being independent is a good thing, but I know I take it too far. Leaving my comfort zone and depending completely on God and His people around me will be difficult. I'm already having a hard time humbling myself to accept support from others. I like to do things on my own, so depending completely upon others is opposite of my comfort.
I expect to laugh, cry, and embrace other believers around the world. I expect to experience a lot of amazing cultures and fall in love with the people. But above all,
I
expect
to
see
the
heart
of
Jesus.
