When you start expecting something good you start thinking, “Hey, something good is about to happen to me!” When my Dad died, we had one guy on staff. We were trying to deal with all of the change, and our expectations were low. But then I started hanging around with the right kind of people who started stretching my mind.
Think Bigger!
I started realizing that if I was the smartest person at the table then I was at the wrong table. I saw a saying that said, “Show me your friends and I’ll show you your future.” By spending time with people who thought bigger than I did, it helped me to think bigger as well. A mind stretched never goes back to its original size.
God Provided Supernatural Connections That I Never Anticipated
Then God supernaturally connected me to Joel Osteen through my spiritual mother, Joyce Meyer. I didn’t expect that to happen. Before I knew it, I found myself standing with Joel Osteen on a stage, praying while 45,000 people stood to receive Jesus. That was a BIG experience that stretched my mind beyond what I ever knew was possible. It was at that moment that I realized that maybe God CAN do something big in my life. THAT is when I changed my expectations!
Don’t Underestimate God
I’d like to encourage you to dig into the Bible and realize that God creates opportunities for people all through the Bible. God does not show favoritism (Acts 10:34); he’ll do it for YOU! Allow my experience to encourage you. Always be EXPECTANT for amazing possibilities. Go get BIGGER relationships that STRETCH you. Be OBEDIENT to where he leads you, and watch God put his SUPER on your natural!
