Expect the Great!!

Last year was a very difficult year for me.  I battle with emotions and feelings that I have never felt before.  For the first time in my life I even contemplated suicide.  My outlook on life had become so grim that I could no longer see a reason to continue.  I wanted to give up and just leave everything and everyone that counted on me.  My children, my family, my friends, my life.  I can honestly say that although I doubted Him so much over the past year, God kept me.  Without Him, I would not be here today.  Life is such a topsy turvy mystery.  And you will never truly know what's will happen from one day tot he next, but if you hold on and stay stronger, you can make it.

This next year, I am expecting great things to happen.  I am expecting to overcome some struggles that I have been dealing with most of my life.   I am expecting to prosper in areas that I long stopped believing that I could prosper in.  I am expecting to grow exponentially further that I ever have.  I am expecting that every encounter and relationship I have will further propel me forward into the great that is planned for me.  I am expecting fear to no longer be the force that drives my every decision.  But most importantly, I am expecting God to continue to prove Himself to me and be my source.


I stopped making New Year's resolution a long time ago because I realize that I can't resolve to do anything that I can't expect to happen.  Why resolve to lose weight, when I don't expect to gain any?  Why resolve to live a healthy lifestyle, when I don't expect to get sick?  Why resolve to love more, when I don't expect to hate anyone?  In other words, I need to expect great things before I can resolve to accept them.  In this New Year, I will expect confidence, I will expect prosperity, and I will expect to be a blessing and be blessed.


What are you expecting this year?  Be Blessed!!
