Imperfect

You know, I’m human I get sad, I get angry and I get hurt, but the power of the Lord gives me the strength I need to not let those emotions overtake me. I have to pray for discernment in all things because I’m dumb! I’m foolish! Why can’t I ever say the right things? Because I’m human. And honestly, I hate it. Why can’t I always do and/or say the right things? Because I’m human. I just want to be a perfect mom, wife sister, daughter & friend but all that entails different things for different people so I’m never going to be perfect. So many different people have so many different expectations of me. Why am I so caught up in perfection? Is it because I want to please everyone? Why do I feel the need to please everyone when the one I’m supposed to be pleasing is up above? My heart hurts because often times I feel like I’m failing everyone. I’m harder on myself than anyone is on me. I’m sure I’m loved and valued for exactly who I am that’s not the problem. The problem is me just being okay with being me. Imperfect.
