We recently started the huge task of downsizing (where did all this stuff come from?!), and the reality of the monumental changes ahead has instigated a few tearful conversations between God and me.  A couple weeks ago I woke up in the middle of the night and in my half-asleep state I told God that this journey just wasn't what I was expecting.  Suddenly, I heard a voice say, "BINGO!" 
 
What?! What does that mean?  And then God, in his oh-so-gentle way, explained, "Audrey, this journey has never been about YOUR expectations--it's about MINE!  And my expectations are so much bigger and better than yours.  So if you're ready to let go of your expectations, we can get on with what I have planned instead of what YOU expect."  Ouch. Ok God, I get it.  Please help me live it.
