Great Expectations

Most of the truly life-changing moments sneak up on us but there are rare times when you know that you are about to step into something monumental. It is exciting to stand on the brink of a moment that I know will change the way I see the world. As I am a few days away from a mission trip to Mexico, I know that I am about to embark on a trip that will teach me more about what it means to love and serve and sacrifice and hope. I'm sure that I will learn much and I am already excited to know that I will come back changed. I know that there will be much pain and brokenness in the world that I will step into. In the same way, I know that there will be much joy and beauty. And so as I experience change within me, my prayer is that I will then affect change in the world outside of me.
