Expectations

 Expectations leave no room for surprise much less delight.  Expectation just get in the way.  When they don’t work out as we want, we get resentful, angry, and irritable.  Not much good will come from that.  It is all driven by ego which is easily enraged.  So why not turn from expectations to hope?  Hope requires a bit of humility and surrender to trust.  Ego is not much interested in all of that.  So today, I have hope and trust in a power that is not me.  I can do the footwork where necessary, but pray I stay with trust that God is at work.  Oh, I guess this takes a bit of prayer to keep me on the hope path.
