I came across this former pastor's blog

Hope you enjoy it !!!
Pain brings us to a place where we wrestle with the true stuff of life.
Death, relational fracture, meaning, who I am, deep disappointments
(this is not the way I thought life would turn out!)
all of these give us transformational opportunities why?
Because we come to realize we have been on autopilot with some assumptions…and those assumptions always determine how we understand the self.
The WHO AM I question.
What are some of the assumptions you have operated with over the years that you have come to realize in your awareness were actually causing some of your suffering or preventing you from experiencing full life?
One of my big assumptions
• If you obey God you will be blessed and life will be better and easier for it!
Recognition of our assumptions that inform how we form our identity help us loosen control and dissolve the pain coming from those assumptions
Obedience brings blessing…I can’t tell you how many people I know that have experienced deep pain over this issue because they came to realize after years and years that they were disappointed with God because this was the hidden assumption.
SO
What are you assuming?
