Category: 31 Days of Imperfection

When I was younger and would imagine what it would be like to be "mom", I never could have imagined I would first be in this role with a teenager, let alone one from another country.  A colleague who found out about my AFS journey recently made the comment, "Good luck!  I think there's a… Continue reading Comparison and Grass Watering {Day 6}

I always am frustrated trying to wrap up something like this.  For 31 days (with a few grace-days) I've posted about imperfection.  A month ago I walked into this challenge hoping, praying, desiring that in the process I'd become (at least a little more) "okay with imperfect".  In everything from sharing Bible passages God brought… Continue reading 31 Days of Imperfection – Day 31!!!

When you forget your daily blog post... for the second day in a row... When your attempt to catch up on sleep by going to bed early gets interrupted by your own thoughts... When you struggle... with THAT... AGAIN... When your alarm goes off and you just roll back over creating a hurried morning without… Continue reading When… {31 Days of Imperfection – Day 29

Just realized that I completely forgot to write a blog post yesterday (day 28).  Rather than worry about it, I just decided it seems quite appropriate in a series about imperfection.

Repost from December 16, 2011 Ever have those days when a message gets repeated over and over and over in various contexts? …one of those days where you start to think that maybe God might be trying to tell you something? Today is one of those days for me. The “something” isn’t anything grand or… Continue reading Giving Up on Perfect {31 Days of Imperfection -Day 26}

As I expected, once I finally got into my devotion/Bible study yesterday, I found myself amazed and in awe.  One of the things God brought to life in my time with him centers around a passage in John 4. This story is of a Samaritan woman Jesus meets at a well.  As the story goes… Continue reading Worship in Spirit and Truth {31 Days of Imperfection – Day 25}

No matter what our perspective on our faults and failures (our imperfections), there's a truth that trumps it all: Jesus is alive and He's coming back for us! Enjoy this song today that I wrote a few years ago for Easter. (Tried to get the audio up of it earlier, but it's not working.  Check… Continue reading My King Lives {31 Days of Imperfection – Day 23}
