Chasing Rainbows of Perfection

Posted in Faith2 Comments

I have a problem. Trying to write about it has only made the problem more glaringly obvious. I sat down to write about perfectionism paralysis on Monday.

Instead of thinking there’s a…… Continue reading Chasing Rainbows of Perfection

I forget things, important things sometimes, and miss the details of life like parent-teacher conferences for example. Super smart…… Continue reading Girl on a Mission

Brooms and Band-Aids

Admitting we are wrong is tough business. As someone who’s followed Jesus for nearly 17 years, realizing I have blind spots of self-reliance and self-righteousness is no easy truth to swallow. Part of me (a big part) wants to be a perfect daughter for my perfect Heavenly Father. One of Jesus’ messages to His followers…… Continue reading Brooms and Band-Aids
