To give without expecting...expecting anything in return. It's not easy...maybe not for everyone but it's hard for me at times.
I mean in the case of volunteering by helping shelter dogs I find myself not expecting anything frim those dogs or from anyone honestly. Haha yea probably only when working with dogs I'd have that mentality HAHA. Working with humans...well yea that's different.
I would always have this expectation of how situations would turn out, how I hope situations would turn out, and when I hope I kinda 80% feel like it'll come true. And so yea when it doesn't, I get really disappointed haha! So shallow of me to think like that but sometimes it's a real struggle especially in relationships. Relationship I have with Ben, with friends, even with family. And yea I tend to either get mad or annoyed or just really hurt when these expectations are not met.
Read Romans 1:8-17 today and saw how I shouldn't actually be expecting anything from humans because we do what is right, not what is for pride.
Haha yea all these are head knowledge and I'm still working on exercising it in real life situations.
It's so easy to be sucked into this world where what we do is being judged, being witnessed by those around us. So we have the tendency to seek approval from others and when we don't we just felt like it was bad or maybe just other random thoughts.
So I gotta learn
This is a really random rant, but yea some thoughts that has been bugging me for a while now.
