Expectations
I have been trying to accept things as they are and not to control how things happen. I guess I'm trying to say I am trying not to expect things to happen, but just let them happen. I asked the Priest about it, and he said I should expect the things I want to happen to happen; the Bishop also confirmed this. I am afraid of getting my feelings hurt if they don't happen the way I want them to, but I've also accepted the fact that if some things don't happen, it wasn't part of the greater plan.

Good to here from you. I've been wondering how you are doing. Good post. Weird thing, I was reading a passage from 1 John 5:14-15, about this exact thing. If what ever you want is asked in a spirit to seak God's will, we can have confidence that we will get it. His timing is another story. I'm a huge control freak so waiting is hard, however the more transparent you are about your intentions, the less stressful the situation.
I'll have to check out that scripture. God takes his time; Father Cyril likes to say "God's old and he's slow".
