We were asked to write a blog about how we felt before leaving on this mission trip. Here is what I'm expecting...
The expectations I have are vague. I basically am expecting to go to South Africa and serve God in ministry.
I expect a different culture and having to adjust to it. Although I've never been homesick, this will be the longest time away from home for me, so I expect to miss the comforts of my family and home at times. I'll definitely miss hanging out with my friends, but I expect to create new friendships and make memories with them that will last a lifetime. I expect to go deeper spiritually and draw closer to my Saviour. I expect God to do awe-inspiring things that will continually challenge the limitations I sometimes put around Him.
In short, I expect to experience adventure; it's about time! I'm eager to leave and see what God has in store!
For the kingdom of God is not a matter of eating or drinking, but of righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit, because anyone who serves Christ in this way is pleasing in God and approved by men.
~ Romans 14:17-18
