When expectations exceed experience...

...expect to be disappointed. Not really sure why I am posting this. My mind was blank and then this phrase popped up. So before it flitters away I am just letting the fingers get to typing. How often do we express disappointment with something? I know for me it's pretty often. We get something in our head. And it doesn't matter if we have anything to back up this train of thought. Such-and-such is gonna happen (usually when relating to a sporting event)... but then the reality of the situation hits and we are left looking like Wile E. Coyote - our jaw handing lose and our eyes bulging out of our head. For me I just try and remember that although I am going through life as an observer, I have faith in the orchestrator. That He already knows all of my days... and not just my days... those of my family... and my favorite football team. :) When we are disappointed about something we need to take a step back... let it go... learn a lesson - either in how we conducted ourselves (i.e. things to do differently/better), or to just trust in what God is doing. Well, that is all I really have for today. But I am happy about yesterdays games... Guaex Panthers! The rematch in December - in New Orleans - will be a battle. Updates: none Verse for today: Proverbs 2:1-8, esv My son, if you receive my words and treasure up my commandments with you, making your ear attentive to wisdom and inclining your heart to understanding; yes, if you call out for insight and raise your voice for understanding, if you seek it like silver and search for it as for hidden treasures, then you will understand the fear of the Lord and find the knowledge of God. For the Lord gives wisdom; from his mouth come knowledge and understanding; he stores up sound wisdom for the upright; he is a shield to those who walk in integrity, guarding the paths of justice and watching over the way of his saints.
