Expectations
Yesterday was a thought provoking day for me. I again feel like I disappoint my family. Its sad I try and not let it bother me but the more and more I try the more I fail and it bothers me. I know for a fact I'll never live up to the expectations of this world. I know that the only expectations I have to live up to are those of Gods. Which I continually try to do. It hurts though when it seems like you fail.
I often doubt myself, mostly because I dont think I can live up to others (mans) expectation. Yesterday a friend told me two things which were food for thought. One: If I'm doubting myself that means I'm doubting God and what He is capable of...do I really want to doubt God and His awesome power?
Also, I've been struggling with change. I want so much for change however I'm terrified of it. I often thought if I left where I am then I would naturally have to make the commitment of change. However that wise friend of mine said "sure you will be geographically in a different place but then you will find you're routine and go back and do the same thing time and time again. The only change that will happen is if you make it happen and decide thats what you are going to do, but moving to another place isnt going to make that change."
So, my challenge for you people are only live up to the expectations of Gods because mans expectations are false. Also, make the change happen dont just think a different place will do it.
