So….after reading blog after blog after blog after blog about any and everything that could possibly educate me in preparing for this incredible journey I've begun, and after talking to a friend who was a former World Racer herself the biggest common denominator is to lay down my expectations…any and EVERY expectation. However, I find it quite difficult not to have just a couple of expectations (that's normal, right?). So here I go…my top 10 expectations (in no particular order) for next year:
 

  1. That I WILL get dirty. This one seems to be a bit of a given.
     
  2. With that being stated, I'm also expecting to smell at times…possibly more times than not.
     
  3. This one I'm pretty sure is the reasoning behind my first two expectations, and that is not having clean clothes and the luxury of baths.
     
  4. That God will use me as his puppet. I am at HIS will for him to use me however HE sees fit, so I'm expecting for him to do just that with me.
     
  5. I will grow stronger in my walk as well as in my relationship with Christ.
     
  6. That I WILL form a bond with my squad and my team that is tighter than any other bond. This is more of a hope than an expectation for me.
     
  7. That lack of sleep is going to be inevitable.
     
  8. That I WILL definitely be forced out of my comfort zone (committing to the World Race was my first glimpse into that).
     
  9. Being that I am sick right now with strep, I'm thinking that at some point I will come down with some sort of illness (this is an expectation I'm completely willing to lay down, and pray does not happen.)
     
  10. That I will ultimately fulfill God's will for me, and be a disciple among men.

 I'm looking forward to see how these change once I start the race, and to see how God opens my eyes and changes my perspective on all of these ''expectations'' when I return.
