Expectations

My flight leaves tomorrow morning, at 7am. It seems surreal. Not going back to Westmont, not seeing everyone, not going to chapel, not hiking up Emerson's hill, not pulling allnighters, not going to the DC...

I'm beyond excited for this semester. To meet so many new people and to live in community with them. I can't wait to bake, to see the kids at CityCrossroads, to explore the city, to grow, to be broken, to struggle, and to find my strength only in God.
I don't know what my internship is going to be, but I know that God has an amazing one planned out for me. One that will break me, that will drain me emotionally, but will cause me to grow, to be stretched in new beautiful ways. One that will cause me to gain a new perspective, God's perspective. I know that it will make my future career choice clearer, whether that will be similar to my internship or not.

So with that, my expectations for this semester are: to recenter my life on God, to spend time with Him daily, to not divide worship, work and waiting in my daily routine but for all 3 to interact together in my life, to gain an unconditional love for the brokenness seen in this city and in our world, to be more intentional with friends especially through prayer, to grow overall and to see God in this city.

This is not my story, it's God's. I hope to be used for His glory this semester, not mine.
