Just Thinking

I was just sitting here and thought I should blog. I don't usually come up with intelligent things to blog about. My thoughts are usually quite unique and entertaining. If you only knew the things I have considered blogging.The only thing that keeps me from doing so is that then there would be incriminating evidence against me...in print!! Heaven knows I do not need more.Anyway...

As many of you know I love quotes I found a really good one from Grey's Anatomy a while back and it has got me thinking again.

"You got to wonder why we cling to our expectations because the expected is just what keeps us steady...standing...still. The expected is just the beginning, the unexpected is what changes our lives."

I think this is kind of a nice way to say that we sometimes limit ourselves. We have these certain set of expectations that we think we should meet, either because we put them on ourselves or society puts them on us. If we do not meet, or feel we can not meet, these expectations what do we do?

We sometimes forget that there is so much more!! We not only limit ourselves but we limit what God can do in and through us when all we want is the expected!! There is so much more than what we think we should be or do or have.

So, the next time you feel you are not measuring up or you wonder why things aren't as you think they should be...look beyond the expected to the unexpected!! Where does God want you and how is He going to use you if you strive beyond and if you believe beyond the expected to the unexpected?
