Perfection is an illusion

Do you ever have days where instead of resting in the perfect love and peace of God, you keep striving to achieve this goal of being the "perfect person". Then you get caught up in this cycle of relax, trust, strive, fail at being perfect, feel really bad about it, mope for days or some length of time, then repeat....Where does that come from?

The really cool thing is I have these moments of clarity where I can see things how they are and not through the distorted world view I often judge things by. I really enjoy those moments. Thank you for them, Jesus you are more than I could have ever hoped for when I signed on for this ride called "being a christian". I thought it would make me a better person (and it did in some ways) but mostly what it brought me, was a closeness with you. In the words of Tom Cruise in Jerry McGuire, "You complete me". Thank you for being so very there.

That said, I'm out...


PS Pats play Jacksonville on Sat...I'm hoping for a win and a really good game!
