Wednesday coffee talk

Good morning everyone! Man, it's good to be back! I missed you guys and thought about you all! I hope you had a great nights sleep. Time to rise and shine now though. So, let's get up and get going! Our challenge today is to expect. When we expect we should expect the best. The best WLS life. The best jobs. Expect the best in life. This is YOUR life. What are you expecting from it? I have decided in the last year that I am EXPECTING better than EVER! No more bad things. That's God's will for us! He wants us to have HIS best! I know Job! I've been through the fire. I've been through the ashes. Now, I'm expecting the BEST in ALL things. God wants that and I do too. How bout you? What are you expecting? Who's up? What cha sipping on? Me? I'm sipping on some Starbucks coffee this morning and man it is so good. So good to make some coffee in my Bunn (thanks guys on the Men's Board!) Coffee maker. Only takes 2 minutes! What are you sipping on? Water? Coffee? Tea? Protein Shake? Let's hear from ya today! I hope you have a blessed, wonderful, and EXPECTING the BEST day! Randall

Thank you for the inspirational message this morning. It is so easy for me to fall into that trap of being complacent. I know God wants the best for me, His best! I will expect that and not fall prey to the lies of the enemy. I'm drinking folgers with cool whip lite. Yummy! Kim M.

I had two really neat discussions yesterday about this very same subject. The first was with two friends of mine. One of the friends husband is getting out of prison in April. He was found guilty of a weird thing. They were involved in missions in Russia and through their church they came back to the US with some people from Russia and they had them working for their business (I think cleaning houses/offices). Well, the people who own the company did not file correct paperwork on the people from Russia and so they were working here illegally. Well, Bob was managing the company and was convicted along with the owners. Long story short, he is getting out in April. He is looking for a job and his wife was just not sure if anyone would ever even give him a chance. They have submitted his resume and cover letter expaining that he is a convicted felon, etc. Well, one of the companies called and wants to talk to Bob about a job when he gets out. She was telling us that she was surprised at this. The other friend said that she needs to say all the time "I believe that ...". And that she should believe for the best. My friend is concerned that this felony will be the limp that Bob has to walk around with for the rest of his life. We of course told her to believe the best! God has our best at heart, not just mediocre things but the very BEST. That same night my daughter and I talked about this too. She was preparing a bible study for her school bible club. The subject was on God's discipline. She talked about how God's discipline is a good thing for us because it helps us grow and learn. She quoted the scripture in Hebrews about how our parents correct us because they want the best for us. I explained to her that the really cool thing about this is that we as parents really do want the best for our kids, but in our human selves we at times do not and can not always know what the best is. We make mistakes. But God never makes a mistake and he truly knows what is BEST. I just thought it was cool that I had two conversations yesterday and then today you talk about expecting the best! Cool! Hugs, Robin
