Never Be Surprised at Disappointment

Happy New Year Everyone ! 

I am simply grateful to be alive and well and strong and I am believing God for an excellent 2013. I've declared that this is my year of getting closer in my walk with Jesus !

This afternoon I was just thinking about how disappointment is a fact of life. No matter who you are, at one point or another we've all been disappointed by someone. And it appears to me that those experiences are especially painful when the offending party is a close loved one. 

One of the lessons I am learning early in 2013 is how to never be shocked at disappointment. No. I don't intend on going around being all cynical with a "nobody-loves-me" kind of mentality. However, as I am maturing in my walk with Jesus, I'm realizing that expecting no-one to offend me or disappointment is about as realistic as pigs flying (although I did see that GEICO ad with a pig on a plane. So hey !) .
