I know where the peace lies, but it's a difficult thing to maintain, isn't it?

Someone once told me 'expectation is premeditated resentment.' I like that. I strive to do my best and just believe others are doing their best as well, and the intention is not to hurt or disappoint.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2081925465275931199.post-64833891827291201632016-01-06T16:49:10.921-06:002016-01-06T16:49:10.921-06:00Jeanette: Yes, Yes, YES!

I always looked forward to events as I wanted them to be. I had to learn to trust God for the outcome. But I am so much happier since I stopped trying to control things.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />quietspirithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06086016141181470311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2081925465275931199.post-3706199702749347042016-01-06T09:54:28.422-06:002016-01-06T09:54:28.422-06:00Hi Jeanette!

I don't know what He would want, so I just go with my gut. And my gut usually wants to be praised and noticed. Not a great way to go.<br /><br />I like the idea of changing my expectations. Or just trying not to have any at all. Trust that God will take care of the situation, and just move on ahead. That's what I need to do!<br />Happy Wednesday! And congrats on your Amazon best seller!<br />Ceil Ceilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06293917798735764739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2081925465275931199.post-73371975321186858162016-01-05T22:35:29.886-06:002016-01-05T22:35:29.886-06:00Oh I can so agree with the above.
