So, we were asked to jot down our expectations for this missions trip, but to be honest, I don't want to have expectations for the trip. Sounds kind of weird because how can you not have expectations for an 8 month adventure in a foreign field with God? Well what i have to say to why I don't want expectations is because I want to be completely maluable to who and what and the man God is making me to be.

 

Say, if I were to expect that during this trip I were to have an amazing time, its incredible, nothing goes wrong, but what if thats not what God has planned for me, and He makes everyday so hard or when I'm loving on people they kick dirt in my face or I get kidnapped and held hostage (which would be a totally rad story). Then the trip, in my eyes, is really gonna suck. But the way iIsee it, if I have no expectations of what God has in store, and I just toally let Him control everything and I keep an open mind, heart, and ears to God and not want anything my way, but His, then things should go pretty swell, even if I do get kidnapped.

 

But I can't wait, just to love and love and love...
