Expectations!
The only expectation I have for this trip is that God will provide us leadership and guidance. His words will be provided with the many people we come in contact with. My expectations are to grow spiritually and as a person. I expect to enjoy myself. Although, I don’t want to expect to much, but to glorify God. I am going on this trip for Him; not me. Although, I am glad he chose me to tag along on the journey 🙂
My worries are basically getting homesick. Once I meet the other girls, I know things will be all right and that God will be with me. I am a busy body, but I do love to be home every once and a while. I have never been away for more that two weeks so this will be challenging. I know I will miss my family, friends, and church and just home, but God will be with me. I know the other girls and I will become great friends and help each other through lonely times. Other than that, nothing about sharing God’s word scares me. I’m doing this for Him- so who am I to worry? God is taking care of me each and everyday and we should not worry for tomorrow because each day has enough trouble of its own 🙂
The only prayer request I have is that we just continue to pray for our team that we can reach out to others and become close to work well as a team! I’m so excited to get to know each and every one of you! ya’ll seem awesome!!
In Him,
Laura b!!
Its funny when God tells us to do something we think “okay.” and instantly act, and the only fear we have is missing our family too much or missing out on stuff back at home. I feel this way too, and I think it is a healthy fear. (its so much better than fearing for your life!!! lol) I think God will show us each how much home will mean to us over that month, but also so us how much our Home in Heaven we will desire. And ultimately want to serve so much that he may call one of you into Missions.
Awaiting-
Annie
