God has asked me to be a lot, to be His daughter, to be a living witness for Him, to be my mechanic's wifeykins, to be a mommy to be to our munchkin, but there is one thing He has not asked me to be, He has not asked me to be perfect. When the house isn't fully cleaned and I am going to take a nap, when I have barely managed to get dressed and then sit on the couch and read all day and knit, it's okay.
I have always tried to live my life like I am the perfect angel, like I have everything under control, but I don't always. And you know what? That's okay! :) As long as I have a smile on my face, and somewhat of a supper ready for my mechanic, right now, it is okay. I am not using that I feel super sick as an excuse, and I have been trying to follow my daily routine, that I have called my Calmness routine.
So, thank goodness, God has not called me to be perfect, and I need to convince myself of that! :)

It is something I think we all struggle with... wanting to appear "perfect" to others. Everyone has a besetting sin or burden they have to deal with. We are to do our best with a heart's desire to serve Him - that is what He wants. :-) You've got the heart for Him, keep going forward. --Our lives are a journey of growing in our walk and faith!
So glad to see you posting again!
Love you!
Are you expecting, Clarissa? Congratulations!
