I have always been a dreamer. I usually have crazy ideas of trips to take or other random stuff. My mind is constantly on overdrive. While this isn't always a bad thing, I have been finding that it's so easy to center my life around my expectations of the future. One thing that the Spirit has really put on my heart is letting go of expectations and being present for the process.
This little concept has been able to be applied to a million areas of my life. With school, relationships, new yoga poses, and most of all my relationship with God. When I am able to put all my expectations of what I think my faith should look like or what I think God should be saying to me (because really that's what my expectations are: words in His mouth), He shows up in ways I couldn't imagine. My devos are so much more real and honest. The only expectation I want to hold is that He will show up. It sounds like such a simple concept but it is so freeing.
What expectations do you need to give up?
What do you believe who God is?
What is He trying to show you that you've interrupted with your own stuff?
Don't stop dreaming and miss out on the ride.
Be blessed.
