1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,000
Speaker 1: I'm always asking questions because the fund begins when you

2
00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:06,480
start researching for answers such as do we expect too

3
00:00:06,599 --> 00:00:10,519
much from God? Plus? Why are we constantly having to

4
00:00:10,560 --> 00:00:13,119
make a decision? My name is Errow. I'm a daily writer,

5
00:00:13,199 --> 00:00:15,800
a silent wolf. That means I stand on the sidelines

6
00:00:15,839 --> 00:00:19,079
and do nothing but watch, listen, study, then activate. I

7
00:00:19,199 --> 00:00:21,519
call it the daily Mess, a chronological walk through in

8
00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:24,519
everyday world. Yep, it's my morning pages. As a receiver

9
00:00:24,600 --> 00:00:26,839
of thoughts and ideas, we as people tend to throw

10
00:00:26,879 --> 00:00:28,679
things to the side because we think we're going to

11
00:00:28,679 --> 00:00:31,320
get to it later on. Well, when a subject arrives

12
00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:33,880
inside of me, I know it is time to dig in.

13
00:00:34,399 --> 00:00:37,119
It's still keeping a journal, but by doing the research,

14
00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:41,640
the picture becomes clearer. This is the daily Mess. Do

15
00:00:41,679 --> 00:00:44,679
we expect too much from God? At my place of study,

16
00:00:44,719 --> 00:00:47,880
we are endlessly reminded to give our challenges to God.

17
00:00:48,359 --> 00:00:50,799
Just give it to the higher power and keep growing forward.

18
00:00:51,079 --> 00:00:53,399
Then we have moments where you can't help but feel

19
00:00:53,399 --> 00:00:56,880
like you're taking advantage of such a loving spirit and creator.

20
00:00:57,719 --> 00:01:00,240
The idea of expecting too much from God is an

21
00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:04,200
avenue of exploration that moves in many different directions. Many

22
00:01:04,239 --> 00:01:07,319
people in the pulpit remind us that God is worthy

23
00:01:07,359 --> 00:01:10,680
of our expectations and desires. Then there are those who

24
00:01:10,719 --> 00:01:14,319
emphasize the importance of relying on God's grace and power

25
00:01:14,519 --> 00:01:17,719
rather than their own abilities. The true calling is to

26
00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:21,000
locate a personal balance. One spiritual leader reminds us that

27
00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:24,640
power is superbundant and we should never limit our potential. Now,

28
00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:27,480
where I slip up is when believers physically find themselves

29
00:01:27,519 --> 00:01:30,239
in a place of admitting that we should live a

30
00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:32,439
greater life, which is every bit the reason why I

31
00:01:32,519 --> 00:01:36,400
was asking, are we expecting too much from God? Human limitations,

32
00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:39,120
entitlements and timing. Oh, they get in the way of

33
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:43,760
hope and sovereignty. He coming up next? Why are we

34
00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:48,400
always trying to make a decision? Hey, welcome back to

35
00:01:48,439 --> 00:01:51,879
the daily mess. Decisions are made every single day, some good,

36
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:54,359
others not so much. You kind of like feel like

37
00:01:54,359 --> 00:01:58,200
you're face planting. Making bad decisions is life, It's what

38
00:01:58,239 --> 00:02:01,519
we do. Taking action has the strength to improve our

39
00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:04,560
failure of decision making. When we make the choice to

40
00:02:04,599 --> 00:02:07,400
make a bad decision, we instantly go into a mindset

41
00:02:07,439 --> 00:02:11,400
of regret. It becomes too easy to overthink, place blame

42
00:02:11,439 --> 00:02:15,639
on things, and become worried and become extremely anxious when

43
00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:17,639
you've made a bad choice. There are five ways to

44
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:21,879
help relocate your balance. It starts with forgiving yourself. No

45
00:02:21,879 --> 00:02:24,840
one is perfect and you can't change the past. Number two,

46
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:30,000
determine how you can move forward. Three, evaluate what's happened.

47
00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:33,879
Time to set aside your emotions. Decisions are only bad

48
00:02:34,039 --> 00:02:38,400
if you keep repeating them. Number four. Improve your decision making,

49
00:02:38,599 --> 00:02:42,680
do more research and consult with others. And five use

50
00:02:42,759 --> 00:02:47,560
a decision making process. Define the problem, establish the criteria,

51
00:02:47,759 --> 00:02:52,800
consider your options, identify the solution, develop a plan of action,

52
00:02:53,599 --> 00:02:58,199
evaluate and assess a solution. Give yourself permission to explore,

53
00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:02,240
but do it by making the right decision. I'm Marril,

54
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:03,599
and that's the daily mess.
