we were asked to write a blog about expectations..
id love to say I expect to have no expectations but that would be a lie, I have “expectations” I would love to happen but I dont want to wake up every morning hoping that I get to check off one of these “expectations” but if I do great if not, that was Gods plan, what happens during this race is completely in Gods hands and His plan, He already has the journey wrote out for me. I was also on facebook.com last night while being sick even though I could have been doing more productive things I was bored and the first status I see is ” expectations are not crucial to great performance. expectations, infact really only bring disappointment.” That is probably a quote from someone else or someone famous but it is so true.. so here are my expectations..
 

                                               I expect to depend completely on the Lord like I never have before

                   I expect to cry often, either in pain for these countries, to the Lord, for my family or even to cry

                                        I expect to be scared and to be completely comfortable in the same day

              I expect to forget where my actual home is, (it has happend while on a missions trip) because my home is where I am at

 I expect to have to face fears like big bugs, spiders, and other creatures I have never seen before but will make me cringe ehh

               I expect to take cold showers that will make my scalp hurt they will be fast and every few days, if I am lucky

                                                         I expect to miss my family and community here, but then I know their prayer will help me

      I expect to be a bit intiminated going out to preach the gospel to so many nations, but very rewarding and joyful

                                                                                    I expect to be made a new women of God

                                    I expect to come home and not live the same life, and not want to stay, my heart already isnt here

                                                       I expect to want to return to a country my heart becomes attached to

                     I expect to witness  many miracales and see so much beauty from our Lord

         I expect to fall in love with the orphans we witness to, if we do and my heart will become attached to them

                                                      I expect God will teach me so much more than I thought I could ever learn and how big He is

                        I expect that living in another country wont be my hardest challenge, but leaving that country will be

                                                I expect my heart will ache for all the amazing people I come in contact with

                              I expect my team will become my new family and best friends

I expect my expectations will probably be wrong and I will have more than I listed.
