(Quick side note —If you’re reading my blog you’re going to know that as much as I empathize about deep levels of grief, I equally desire growth for you and cannot stop from encouraging you to push you beyond your perspective and if you can’t handle that, I need you to know that I understand that we are all at different places that this is a very touchy subject. We are all very deep vessels. But I will always want what’s best for you!)

We will all experience grief from a small as…

-expecting that rich dark coffee to brew in the pot but the coffee filter folded over and all we got was some very weak substance 🤦🏻‍♀️

.

to coworkers or “understudies” not doing their job to our expectations

.

to expecting our vehicle to never have a problem or need maintenance

.

to a response we were hoping for -oh…to say, for example, like a high percentage of teenagers may do 🤷🏻‍♀️

.

to a lifetime of someone being ripped out, that we envisioned would always be there. 😭

•But what if all these things were meant to lead to greater things if we could just anticipate/view things differently?

•What if we were to learn from every “let down”?

•What if we were to let go of expectation?

*What if that weak coffee taught us to be more careful or get up earlier.

*What if instead of being disappointed in our coworkers we realized how much we have to offer.

*What if instead of being upset and frustrated that our vehicle needs repair we planned for and prepared, even financially for this.

*What if that response taught us of all the possible outcomes and to be prepared to react in love and truth.

*What if that loss taught us to treasure the people we do have and to love them more fervently or at the very least tell them how we really feel about them.

(This is what it has done for me. And that’s how I know it’s possible.)

•There’s nothing we can do In this life to control the things that will grieve us.

We do have a choice to move forward. We can become resentful and bitter, hurtful and reserved or we can set our mind to thinking on the things that we know are true.

– “We KNOW that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to his purpose.”

-We can let go of NEGATIVE thinking. All the scenarios where we fall short and fall completely into His arms!

It’s so freeing!

-Open handed, with complete trust in every detail, big or small!

-While I know this is not easy, I can promise you it is far worth the effort required!

He loves you! He does not see you the way you see yourself, at times (or how others see you) it’s just not possible. You are incredible and adored! You have a lot of things to do and see and experience in this world!

Go forth! Believing, trusting and expecting in his great miracles!

“For where your treasure is there will be your heart also”
