We were asked to write a blog about how we felt before leaving on this mission trip. Here is what I'm expecting...

I have a few expectations about this trip, but I also have no idea what to expect.  Right now I have to continually surrender the efforts of raising support for this trip to the Lord.  I know in my head that He will provide but its not as easy to apply that to my heart.  Other than that, I don't have too many worries...at least not right now.  I do wonder what it will be like to live so far away from my family and friends for so long; I have my emotional moments.  However, I can't wait to get to know my team and really bond together as we spend 8 months on the same mission field, serving the same people.   The Lord is going to move is mighty and powerful ways while we are there and I can't wait to be apart of it.  I know that because I serve a God who it beyond the understanding of the human mind, I can hardly begin to dream about what He will do through us while we are there.  My prayer is that I (as well as my team) will continually seek the Lord so that we can live up to our full potential while we are there.  I expect to be challenged, pushed out of my comfort-zone, and broken while I am there.  I just don't know what that is going to look like.

I am pumped up about this trip!! :)
