The Power of Expectation
Good Morning Girls! First of all, I have a mini dilemma.....I received my first blog comment from a man, and now it feels odd starting off each day with "Good Morning Girls". Not sure what I'm going to do as for me this intro is the equivalent of "Heeeerrrrrrrrrre's Johnny" from the Johny Carson Show. To the men who are cool enough to read these posts: "Welcome and God bless you! I promise you will not have any PMS symptoms if you continue to read this blog".
I finished off last week by telling you I had been struggling. I was on a roller coaster ride that would not end, and by Friday I was feeling rather unglued. I was someone of a "blown fuse" you could say. I was heading up to a friends cabin for the weekend and I could not let my week ruin the weekend. I had been looking forward to this weekend for 6 months give or take a day. On the car ride up to the cabin, I told the girls "I am fully expecting to be emotionally healed this week-end". I meant it with all of my heart. I had no idea how I would be healed, and I didn't care. All I knew is that I was claiming my healing, and after I confessed it, I let it go, and waited expectantly for it. There is great power in expectancy. When you confess your expectations, it is essentially a statement of your faith. You are saying "Not only do I know that God CAN do this, but also that He WILL do this". God is faithful, and He likes to hear our confessions of confident hope in Him. I am not exaggerating when I say that within the first 10 minutes of being at the cabin, I was healed! It was truly amazing, a feeling I cannot put into words. I am thankful to the Lord for His faithfulness! I'm sure you are all wondering how the healing came.....you'll have to wait expectantly until tomorrow to find out!
Psalm 5:3 In the morning, O Lord, you hear my voice; in the morning I lay my requests before you and wait in expectation.
Love you all-
