Ever feel as though no matter how hard you try you can never live up to the expectations other people have for you? It could be the expectations of friends, family, employers, or complete strangers. This is a bit how I have felt this past week.
It seems that friends always have someone else they'd rather hang out with or share their life with. Family has the expectation to be everywhere at once and to move on with my life. Employers expect that employees will pick up the slack of those other employees.
The world is getting to me this week. Somethings that wouldn't normally be a big deal, are getting me down. It seems like the world is spinning too fast and I just can't keep up.Maybe it is the added stress I have been under this past week, the fact that I am getting sick, or the dreary weather. I am not sure. But what I do know is that I am praying that life will soon slow down and those things that I can't control or change on my own begin to work themselves out.
"For I know that plans I have for you says the Lord!" That is a great deal of hope as I struggle with ways of the world this week.
Smile, for there is ALWAYS something worth smiling about!
