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
Yeah that’s my sister!!! Live outside of the expectations and push yourself to bettering!! Love you and and am proud of you! Will miss you and can’t wait to see you again!
Wow! I am so proud of you & excited for you. Be flexible & patient. Remember to laugh like you’ve done at home. I love you sooo much!
Since when, exactly, do you use the British spelling of words? Normal Americans spell Savior without the ‘u’. 🙂
I like your awe-inspiring expectation. I think that more people need to have that desire. 🙂
I’m sorry you dropped your ice cream on your lap. 🙁 I hope it didn’t stain your clothing.
