Thanks for reminding me to take my thoughts captive and focus on what His Word tells me to focus on—and stand in the gap for others who don’t “measure up”—because I don’t either!

In reply to Heather. Ugh. I'm a recovering perfectionist. I know that battle. Keep on, sister-friend.

In reply to Christine.

It is hard. We battle against emotion — real emotion — and it is so very difficult. So thankful he did not leave us to fight the battle alone. What grace.

You are seriously getting to the nitty-gritty here, Lara. This has been the lesson God has wanted me to learn in this decade of life, and it has been hard. He has given me more opportunities to release others than I care to admit. Beautifully written, friend.

Thank you for this reminder. Perfectionists want to be perfect now and we don’t give ourselves the grace to know we are in process. We also get angry when others are not meeting those “perfect” expectations. Thank you for the reminder to pray instead of belittle.
