This post is going to be super short...on purpose.
My perfectionism has held me hostage from my blog this past month. Believe me, I've had several good post ideas. Several!! And did I write about any of them? Nope. Because I was waiting for the perfect.
...time, day, wording. Heck, maybe even the perfect lighting so I'd look super pretty while I poured out my ideas on my laptop!
So, the sole purpose of this post is to remind me of a few key things...
There is no perfect....time, day, wording, lighting, PERSON. The only perfect person was Jesus, and while we're supposed to try and be more like him, to try and be perfect is not realistic.
Remember the title of your blog, Jen. This is about the journey to wholeness, not about writing as you wave down to everyone else if/when you ever get there. It's about the good and the bad, the stops and the starts,and the fact that you're NOT alone. In any of it.
Stop waiting for the perfect. If you do, you'll miss everything else.
So to close, a question or two to ponder: How do I let go of the perfect, and instead pursue the "good enough," the "best effort" I can give?? How can I wrap my brain around that and make that okay??? How can I be at peace with the perfect?
