Expectations
June 18 2005
So at Big Stuf, Rachael and I had a conversation about having often set our expectations too high. I know I have high expectations for myself, which I often don't fulfill, and then turn around and expect the same things for other people, and then I feel hurt and get upset when they don't fulfill them.
We can all be so stupid sometimes.
Anyhow, here's a great quote from Captivating that I read the other day... apparently all women have high expectations for others (I don't know how much of this applies to guys- y'all can let me know):
"For a woman to enjoy relationship, she must repent of her need to control and her insistence that people fill her... In your friendships, in all your relationships, you will disappoint others and they will disappoint you..."
The good news, however, is that Christ will never disappoint you. That doesn't mean that everything will go your way or that you will always be happy with what God allows to happen in your life, but He truly does know what is best. If we let Him work and move, it will be great. He is always there for us if we are willing to turn to Him. He goes beyond our expectations, and is more loyal than anyone on earth ever could be.
"I put you on like an old pair of shoes... but now I need you... why this love never leaves me... why are you holding me tonight... can't deny this love that is given to me... why this love never leaves..." -part of Bethany Dillon's "Why"

good stuff amy! very true. i guess we need to work on that whole expectation thing... knowing that only Christ can meet and even pass all of our expectations and NEVER let us down like some silly boys or other people. maybe you and i, and the rest of the female population will be less confused...and i must also say that some boys need to get a clue and just like good 'ol clint said, we need that confirmation!!!

He's pretty solid from what I've been able to research, really. He's still tight with Giglio and that whole crowd, so I doubt he's that whacked. Dunno.

That's what the guy told dad at the leaders meetings they do while we're in "small groups."
