“Yet still we go forward.”
Paulo Coelho.
“None of us knows what might happen even the next minute, yet still we go forward. Because we trust. Because we have faith.” – Paulo Coelho, Brida
If expectations have taught me anything, it's been about trust. I’m not going to rattle off some fancy platitude about how all you have to do is trust God.
Trust is hard. It requires a decent amount of letting go and holding on in equal quantities. To trust is to fall back into the arms of grace knowing you’ll be caught, but not knowing where or how.
To trust is to keep on going forward. Sometimes we move forward only because there is nothing else we can do, and that is as good a place as any to start. But we keep going, we keep expecting, we keep on hoping, we keep on participating and problem-solving and seeking, because in the end, even if and when the unexpected happens, we can expect that we won't be alone.

Powerful, two minute reads that have helped change the script in thousands of people's lives.
Practice:
Rather than expecting a particular set of circumstances and situations to come to pass, take some time to think/pray/meditate on the expectation of Divine Presence in your life no matter what happens. Maybe you need to spend some time letting go of the disappointment around unmet expectations, and seek the gift that even it has to offer you. Maybe you need to be deliberately grateful for where you are and what you have. If you spend too much time dreaming about tomorrow, you’ll miss what you have here and now.
Even if all you have is the faith that you can and will move forward.
