Surrender Your Expectations
You are officially looking at a winner!
Or reading, I guess, is better terminology.
For the past 30 days my 2 sister friends and I entered a challenge. For 30 days, take 3 TLC products and work out for 30 minutes. The 3 teams with the best transformation win. The exercise, I’m good. The TLC products, I’m good. The eating…I still need your prayers. But that’s another story.
Consistency for 30 days got us to the finish line against 9 other transformed teams. I was excited. Then I found myself anxious. Looking at the numbers, the comments, the likes. My Instagram timer on my phone kicked me off. I ignored it for the day to keep scrolling. I began spending the cash prize in my mind.
As morning came, I prayed. Sometimes we have to go to God for a real talk with ourselves. I was reminded to surrender what I wanted to ask God for in that moment. Win or lose, I’m in better shape. That’s the real trophy. I received a lifestyle of change and not just a challenge.
What is something that you want so, so bad? Whether you spend your time anxiously thinking about it, or peacefully minding your business until notified, the time is going to pass. And since the time will be going by in both situations, we might as well learn to chill and enjoy what we have regardless of what is to come. It’s okay to expect good things, but don’t put your hope in what you’re asking God for. Instead, surrender it to Him. That’s not a guarantee you will get it, but if it’s meant to be, He will definitely place it in your hands. Let God trust you with it by showing Him you trust what He wants for you more.
Well, hours later my girls called me screaming, “WE WON!” I was so shocked that all I could do was just say ‘thank you’.
The things we desire shouldn’t take our focus off of God or disrupt our peace. When we do our part and stay locked into Him, we will always come out the winner, every time!
