An intricate flaw.

The Fall semester in a two days away from being over for me. I can't even tell you how much I'm going to sing, dance and burn every Chemistry paper I can find with a little too much pleasure. :) This semester has wrapped up in a blurry mess. I can't say I've ever experienced so many extremes all at one time. But it has been good. A good, hard 5 months of nonstop stuff. That's really the only way to describe a a season like that. Very...interesting at best.

But as you know, there's a lesson to be learned in the midst of the confusion and madness.

I have become less of a perfectionist as time goes by. I have, what is rumored to be, an artists mind. Always full of creations and sometimes, clutter. :) I don't exactly like to keep things organized, (except for my planners and to-do lists which I am OCD about), but my books spill over on shelves and my shoes don't line up perfectly in closet...and I'm ok with that.


I hate the word "perfection." It walks around on it's glossy red high heels and smirks at those of us in last season's rain boots. (Again, a creative mind...:) The word itself just plainly says: "You don't measure up."

There is only one person who is perfect in all ways. And personally, I'm more than okay with letting Him get all the attention and praise. I am designed with an intricate flaw. I'll never be perfect (although I may wear red high heels. ;)I have strengths and talents but I also have the counterparts that balance me out. What do we do about those though? I mean, who is comfortable living with (gasp)flaws??

I'm just going to be blatantly honest: We need to get over it....this pettiness. We are all too familiar with wasting time on trying to reach the perfection mark. We won't get there my friends and that's good news. We strive to be people of Christ, to follow His lead and example on our lives. If we were prefect, why would we need him? I'm loving the journey. This crazy, beautiful, invigorating adventure of my life! He has much in store if we forget our misfortunes and amount of flaws and just enjoy the wonderful details of our lives.

Time passes quickly, live with abandon.♥
