We were asked to write a blog about how we felt before leaving on this mission trip. Here is what imp expecting…
I expect…
To miss my family, and friends.
To miss seeing my little nephew Jace turn two
To miss axiom on Wednesday nights
To miss working on my truck with my dad, and grandfather. Who knows… maybe they will just finish it for me while im gone?
To miss all the flavor filled, unhealthy food I love to eat here
To miss the awesome feeling I get after I have fixed someone’s car for them
To sadly forget a lot of what I have learned as a mechanic
To acquire a lot of amazing new friends
To meet many wonderful people from all types of cultures
To be broken of my material needs, and learn to fully rely on God for everything ill ever need
To at times just want to come home.
To at times never want to leave where I am
To cry, whether they be tears of joy, or sadness
To find out where God want me to be, what he wants me to do, who he wants me to serve
To acquire a new taste for foods I would have never tried here… or just get so hungry that I don’t care what it tastes like and I just want something in my belly
To see God in ways I had never seen him
To be pushed to my braking points, both mentally, and physically
To learn to hear God better when he speaks to me by growing closer to him
To learn that I am in no way in control, and to just give everything I have up to God
To see God do great things for his kingdom with this group of people he is bringing together
To at one point, if not many times to be lost in a country ive never been to.
