ARE YOUR EXPECTATION REALISTIC? 

I’ve come to understand that what we desire and what we look forward to aren’t always what we get.  Sometimes we set the bar too high and are disappointed.  Sometimes we set the bar too low and accept second best.  How do we find that happy medium?  How do we get to the place where we can be disappointed in the past, yet still have hope for the future?  What will it take for us to realize that we are precious to God and we can expect more from life?
