Expectations

Hey in the city of my birth this morning.
Early as normal.

11.5 weeks pregnant. Praying constantly for our lil one.


So  I want to write about expectations. Specifically, our expectations of other people. My mama gave me a piece of advise - and it is something that has stayed with me continuously. My mama said, "Kiki you expect to much of people"....

I have learned to lower my expectations. At the end of the day you have to be able to evaluate the people in your life and say ok. God has you hear for a reason or a season. Maybe your season has come to a close. Or maybe I need to realize just as I am complex and have my faults so do you.

In that understanding, I need to be prayerful and deliberate in looking at you as a whole and if the sum total of you is mostly good as I see it then it is up to me and my level of maturity to understand that that is enough.

It comes from understanding that no one person, mama, family, or spouse is going to bring you happiness. Happiness originates in and sustains by the Lord of Lords, and when you realize that you can accept that although your relationships are not perfect and although you as a person is not perfect its ok. I guess to say I have lowered my expectations of people is bad to say, it may be more correct to say I have realized no one person is everything and they were not intended to be.
