~Happy Expectations~
What do you find yourself doing more? Being hopeful of happy expectations or dreading things going wrong?
Fear keeps us from hoping. You’ve heard people say it. “Don’t get your hopes up! It’s probably too good to be true anyway.”
Well, that may be true for a doubter. But for a believer in the Name above every name, the King of kings, and the Lord of all lords, nothing is impossible! Go for it! Dream big! Yolo!
As you can see in the pic above, I naturally am a doubter. That txt volley was between my BFF & I. She knows me so well and speaks freely with me as do I with her. You can see that she was used to me expecting the worst. I had to remind her that was the old me.
So the back story was that our family had planned a great vacay for this summer to include NYC and all kinds of fun. Well, some unexpected expenses arose that caused us to need to have a staycation instead. Soooo as amazingly faithful as God always is, we were afforded the opportunity by family to have a week at the beach that ended up being just what the Dr. ordered.
Honestly, I am so much more of a believer these days now that my mind has really been renewed with God’s Word to have happy expectations! Even though our summer didn’t end up as planned, I truly did have happy expectations for it and am enjoying every day of it.
I hope you are having a great summer and happy expectations for the rest of it!
Don’t let fear guide your life. Fear is what causes us to not have happy expectations. Just walk with God and do His will, believe, and be happy!
“…..Do as I say and you will be happy” Proverbs 8:32
This was such a good article. I needed this today because I was disappointed today when I went to my orthopedist today. My doctor had my back, head and knees x-rayed. The doctor told me that my bones were so thin that he could not tell exactly what all was wrong. I had a fall the other day. The doctor said that my back was a mess,, which I knew already. Dr. fontana said that I had broken my rib again because of where I was hurting. Then he said that my knee might have a chipped bone in my knee and that I needed to have an MRI because my leg could collapse if he didn’t make sure that I did not have a chipped bone in my knee. I was so scared at first when my doctor told me that my bones were so thin that he couldn’t diagnose exactly what was wrong. I silently started praying and a voice told me everything would be okay. Then I started telling the doctor everything will be okay. I could tell that my doctor was really worried about me. I told my doctor that I was a child of God, and God had healed me so many times before that I knew everything would be okay. I have been so happy since. Please pray for me not to have a chipped bone because God does hear us when. We call on Him. We have to listen to God, and He does bless us when we listen to his ways. Happy Anyway!!! Happy!!! Happy!!! I love you!!!!!
