No expectation.

TIJUANA, MEXICO

On Sunday, June 26 i will be leaving for Tijuana, Mexico.  It's only for a week, but i have a feeling this week is going to break me down and build me back up again. For the past 7 years my youth group goes on this week long trip with Spectrum Ministries.  For 7 years God has provided $20,000+, every stinking year.  This year to raise the money we did service projects for our church community.  Basically we raked yards, pulled weeds, and did anything else these wonderful people told us to do.  It's impossible to raise $24,000 doing yard work, but yet again God pulls through and provides for this trip that he is so in love with.  

This will be my first mission trip ever, to say i'm excited is far beyond and understatement.  We will be building two houses, visiting two orphanages, having a bath day for the local kids, and going to the dumps where some families live.  I'm trying my hardest not to go into this with expectations because i know God will shatter them.  I'm bracing my heart for the hurt its going to endure and i'm just leaning on my Savior through this because i know its going to rock my comfort zone.  My heart will be changed and my eyes will be forced open.  Everything i think i know i'm sure will be completely out the window.  

So, this is what i would like all of you to do. Pray for me and my team.  Pray for our hearts, pray that God moves and runs through this place.  Pray, pray, pray.  The power of prayer is so strong and we so would appreciate it.  I'm so ready to serve, i'm so ready to be changed for the Kingom, i'm so ready to Jesus.
