Expectancy Defined: Trust!

Remember my friend, Christian, the love doctor? Well, he has posted another great podcast on a topic that's been on my heart a lot recently: the difference between expectations and expectancy. I wrote about this very thing a year ago, and it is back on my radar. Check out my blog post on expectations vs. expectancy if you haven't read it yet or want to read it again. I outline the difference between the two and how to navigate single life with expectancy instead of expectations.

I love what Christian says in his podcast. Expectancy is just another word for trust. It's so true. Listen in and see what a difference this revelation of having a heart of expectancy has made in Christian's life.


If you want to explore this topic even further, listen to Danny Silk's message and be encouraged. Here's to releasing expectations and embracing a posture of expectancy!

Resting in the Trough of Uncertainty

Uncertainty. It’s normal to experience this in the journey of singleness. And in life really. If it is left unembraced though, we can end up striving, disoriented, weary, and troubled. We can even choose to swim against the current God has clearly marked for us making the journey much harder than it was designed to be. I’ve done this a time or two. Ok – maybe more than a time or two. When uncertainty has hovered around me, it’s my thoughts that have wandered and ultimately exposed the weakness of my trust muscles. There have been times that I have thought myself into a frenzy, rather than fix my gaze on Jesus and simply trust Him to lead my heart when the path before me seems unclear. Can you relate? I’m still learning to choose to fix my gaze on Jesus daily. I’m thankful for those moments God has chosen to expose my weakness, though. It’s given me an opportunity to invite God to transform me, to be my strength in weakness, and to expand me into the identity God gave me even when
