We were asked to write a blog about how we felt before
leaving on this mission trip. Here is what I’m expecting…
I know this trip is going to be an amazing experience for me.
God has a plan for my life that maybe right now I am unsure of, but I know if I
just set my hope fully in his grace that he will lead me in the right
direction.
Therefore, on this trip I expect to see God in all of his
glory. He deserves all of us and I can not wait to see each of us giving our
lives to Him completely in everything we do. My hope and my prayer is that I
learn to block out all the worldly things going on around me and learn to
listen to his quiet whisper. I pray that I continue to learn to trust in Him
and when I do not think I know the right things to say to someone that I will
trust Him to speak through me.
Growing up in a Christian home then coming to College Station where the
Christian community is very large, I have never really had to step out of my
comforter zone. This trip for me is taking a leap out of my comforter zone,
learning to live on fire for God, and spreading the good news! I expect that I
learn to see the world through the word and that I fully depend on Him alone.
My prayer is that I learn to be content where I am in life and that I look to
God instead of the world for answers.
Also, never did I imagine that I would go away for two
months with complete strangers, but as the trip draws closer I do not feel I am
going with strangers at all. I already see the relationships building, and I am
so excited to how God is going to grow us together so we can glorify Him. I
know this trip is a trip that will be in my heart forever and truly change me.
God is an awesome God that has never failed on his promise. He will always
provide and his love for us is abundant. I continue to pray for our team, our
leaders, our supporters, and people of Kenya! I can not wait till we take the adventures of our lives!
