What does God expect?

Laura Skarie, Staff Editor

“But what will other people think?” 

Sure, we all want to be kind and respectful by trying to make our peers, family, and friends happy. But sometimes it can feel as if the bar of expectation is set too high and we’ll never reach it. Or worse, you might feel that others set the bar low and expect you inevitably to disappoint. 

So what if we looked higher than opinions pulling us in all directions and listened exclusively to what God expects of us? No high or low bars, just the freedom to accept our existence as God sees it—whole and harmonious.
