Everyone has expectations. Expectations for ourselves, our kids, our bosses, our family & friends—even, and especially, expectations for God. But expectations often don’t translate into reality. And when that happens—when our expectations don't match our experiences—frustration enters the picture, along with anger, depression and hopelessness. But what if we saw our edited expectations as “Divine Detours?” What if we embraced them as opportunities for God to show up in bigger and better ways than ever before?

You don’t have to live very long to realize that other people will have expectations for you. They will expect you to look, talk, act, and live a certain way. And if you’re not careful, you may find yourself adjusting your life to live up to other’s expectations. But true fulfillment is not found by editing your life for the approval of others, but by living life for an audience of One.
