No Expectation

God will do something that will shock you
Things you wouldn't have expected
For example they just selected somebody to be my supervisor
That for a million years I wouldn't have expected him to be my supervisor
It's not that he is not qualified, he is
It's just that I would have picked some other persons
That is to show you that you are not right on everything
And the things you expected, well, may not be
So there baby, throw you a curved ball
That really changed my thinking
So I am not right after all haha
I was so sure that He wouldn't get the position
Make me think what other things I would not have expected may happen
So there God here we go again
You just do things - the unexpected
And we just learn things - no expectation at all
Is that good?
So that when it comes it may be a good surprise
Because, well after all we don't know more than you do
If you say "go that way", who are we to say "go other way"?
Anything God - lead on
He may turn out to be good after all
And I may say "God - You are right"
But I do know that I will not expect any more
You teach me once
Don't need to teach me twice
I got it hehe
