“Expectations of My Mission Trip”

We were asked to write a blog about how we felt before leaving on this mission trip.  here is what im expecting….before i officially made my mind up about going on this trip, fear was always on the back of my mind.  what would people think?  what would my parents think? would we be safe in india? etc.. but as soon as i gave ALL of my fears and worries over to God, an overwhelming peace came over me and now all im feeling is anxious.  i’m so anxious to see how God is going to use us to minister to the kids.  I expect God to fill voids in peoples lives they did not even know they had.  I expect God to show himself to us through the relationships we will build with the people there and with each other.  Basically I expect God to be glorified like ive never experienced firsthand.  This kind of mission trip is WAY WAY WAY out of my comfort zone, i dont think id ever want to go to India specifically either, but i do believe that God has a purpose for me on this trip, that He is gonna humble me and use me to show the kids that God’s love satsifies. and that it is enough.
