by social chick~ i don't know where this blog is coming from, but it is something i was thinking of. do you know some one who always tries to be perfect? their goal in life is to be a perfect wife, a perfect mom, a perfect dresser, their hair has to be perfect, they have to have the perfect life, they have to have the perfect kids. well what is perfect? who says that you are perfect?
perfect to me is not that i can't talk about the things that are going on in my life, because someone will know that i have a crazy life at times. it isn't that i can't share with the world that my chicklet bit her cousin last night, because now she may not be perfect. it isn't going to Wal-Mart with nice clothes on with my hair fixed and my makeup done. what is perfect to me?
perfect to me is doing my best. my perfect life is being the best that i can be. it is trying my hardest at being a great wife, mom, daughter, sister, and friend. it is doing my best at what God has called me to do.
so to all of you who feel that you need to be perfect, just try your hardest at everything. who says that you are not perfect? if us perfect people would stop trying to be so perfect we would lower the level for the rest of the world. if we all shared our children horror stories, the rest of us could find peace with in our own devil moments. if we would all stop trying to look our best when we are just going to Wal-Mart, then the rest of us would not feel that we have to look like beauty queens. relax, have fun with life and just be perfect by doing the best that you can do in every aspect of your life.
Perfection is Christ. Our goal is to be Christ-like. So yes you sre right, trying our best in all areas of our life by doing God's will in those areas. Making Him the center. By the way I think you do a great job. Love you. Susan

you know, it gets so tiring trying to be everything to everyone, and i for one am ready to stop trying, we can never do it by ourselves anyway. its only through the Father that we are able to be anything to anyone. I am ready to stop being a people pleaser, everyone cannot be happy with me all of the time, everyone will not always like me, and i am just going to have to accept that. that is my area that i try way to hard to be perfect in! (i told you i had a blog on it, LOL)
