"When God doesn't do what we want it's not easy; it never has been and it never will be. Faith is the conviction that God knows more than us ... and he'll get us through. Disappointment is caused by unmet expectations ... and it's cured by revamped expectations. Don't panic ... don't give up ... be patient ... God is in control."-Max Lucado
We've all experienced disappointment in our lives and inevitably will experience disappointments in the future ... But in those disappointments are lessons to be learned, wisdom to be unlocked, and believe-it-or-not ... opportunities in disguise. Disappointments can help us to grow if we allow God to reveal His purpose and if we trust that He will reveal His plan to us in perfect time ... It's important that we don't let ourselves get stuck in our disappointment by allowing bitterness and resentment to replace our hope and trust in GOD. How we respond to disappointments greatly determines the ultimate outcome ...

Just because we can’t figure out what God’s doing right now, doesn’t mean it won’t make sense later .. This story explains this ..

A daughter is telling her Mother how everything is going wrong, she’s failing algebra, her boyfriend broke up with her and her best friend is moving away. Meanwhile, her Mother is baking a cake and asks her daughter if she would like a snack, and the Daughter says, ‘Absolutely Mom, I love your cake.’
‘Here, have some cooking oil,’ her Mother offers.

‘How about a couple raw eggs?’ ’Gross, Mom!’Yuck’ says her daughter.
‘‘Would you like some flour then? Or maybe baking soda?’
‘Mom, those are all yucky!’
To which the mother replies :
‘Yes, all those things seem bad all by themselves.But when
they are put together in the right way, they make a wonderfully delicious cake!’
God works the same way. Many times we wonder why He would let us go through such bad and difficult times. But God knows that when He puts these things all in His order, they always work for good! We just have to trust Him and, eventually, they will all make something wonderful!
God loves us .. He sends us flowers every spring and a sunrise every morning …Whenever we want to talk, He’ll listen .. He can live anywhere in the universe, and He chose your heart .. Life may not be the party we hoped for, but while we are here we might as well dance …
