Expectations, expectations..

This week in iCare we talked about expectations that could lead to disappointment and bitterness.
It got me thinking for a long time about the things that happened  and that didn't happen in my life.

I have so many wants in my life, and when I didn't get them, I nudged God for sooo many times asking Him why.
Then I realized, could this be one of the reasons? To 'save' me, or at least prepare me, for all the disappointments that could follow?

A random example:
I want to make dish A. I've never made it nor tasted it before, but I've seen it done. Yet, when I want to make it, I cannot find this one important ingredient, so I couldn't even attempt to make it at all and have to change the plan. Will I be disappointed? Of course.

However, remembering that I've never tasted it, I only expect it to be super nice and delicious. I have a high expectation of that dish. But who knows? Maybe after I make and eat it, I won't be happy at all with the result. Maybe the effort of finding this one ingredient won't be worth it.

Maybe it's not worth it.


Although my mind still wants to resist the thought, it's a fact. High expectations don't always lead to superb results in the reality. Maybe this is why some of my wishes are not gonna come true --> because my expectations have been to high, and the 'fall' will be too much for me.



But do not fear!
One day, God is going to give all of us something that exceeds all our expectations!
You'll see!
And most importantly, the waiting time is worth it :)


12 days!!
