Each Holy Saturday, I try to comprehend, just a little bit, of what that day might have been like for Jesus' disciples. The person for whom you gave up everything to follow was just beaten and killed. What now? Everything you based the entire last 3 years of your life on seems pointless. You saw… Continue reading God Sighting Saturday {31 Days of Imperfection – Day 22}

The Essense of Brokeness {31 Days of Imperfection – Day 21}
Nothing I could say today, quite captures what I want to say about what's in my heart. This blog post, The Essense of Brokenness is the closest I've seen in the last few days.

Because God’s Love is Perfect… {31 Days of Imperfection – Day 20}
"Because God's Love is Perfect, I Don't Have to Be" Before I got past even this chapter's title in a book I'm currently reading (A Confident Heart by Renee Swope), I knew it would likely have things to say to inform my 31 Days of Imperfection blog posts. Within a couple pages I was overwhelmed… Continue reading Because God’s Love is Perfect… {31 Days of Imperfection – Day 20}
Open Our Eyes, Lord {31 Days of Imperfection – Day 19}
I think sometimes we get so blinded by our imperfections that we forget that we have a Savior who can heal if we'd just ask. We forget that our imperfections may be the things that draw us closest to Christ. Open our eyes, Lord. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ It was an ordinary day… like every other day. I… Continue reading Open Our Eyes, Lord {31 Days of Imperfection – Day 19}
Pure Delight {31 Days of Imperfection – Day 18}
Sitting in the parking lot of the grocery store talking on the phone with a friend. Life is overwhelming and she needs a friend to just talk through it with. I gladly listen, I encourage, I pray. Getting food can wait; some souls need fed. My mouth may be saying the words, but my ears… Continue reading Pure Delight {31 Days of Imperfection – Day 18}
A Sabbath from Perfection {31 Days of Imperfection – Day 17}
About a month ago, I blogged about some new realizations I've been having about the concept of Sabbath keeping. In summary, I realized that while I was good at not being at my job for a 24 hour period, I very rarely took a true break from work. My "days off" were filled with shopping,… Continue reading A Sabbath from Perfection {31 Days of Imperfection – Day 17}
God-Sighting Saturday {31 Days of Imperfection – Day 16 }
I see God in my weaknesses... "But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me." (2 Corinthians 12:9 NIV)
Messy Hearts, Messy Lives, and a Messy Savior {31 Days of Imperfection – Day 15}
I sat in my kitchen last night ... sad. As I thought about the past few days, I was reminded that we really do live in a broken, hurting, imperfect world. While it doesn't take much to realize that, this truth has been right in my face everywhere. From friends who are suffering physically to… Continue reading Messy Hearts, Messy Lives, and a Messy Savior {31 Days of Imperfection – Day 15}
(Im)perfect Love {31 Days of Imperfection – Day 14}
This morning I found myself thinking more about yesterday’s post about looking back at times when our past keeps us from action in the present or future. I think one of the biggest hindrances for almost every single human is remembering times when they were hurt in relationships before. Maybe someone did something that betrayed… Continue reading (Im)perfect Love {31 Days of Imperfection – Day 14}
Looking Back… {31 Days of Imperfection – Day 13}
This morning I received a text from my mom with a picture of the first house I lived in. She was in the neighborhood at a meeting and decided to drive by. While we moved out of the house when I was somewhat young, the picture evoked many memories from the house... girl scout cookies… Continue reading Looking Back… {31 Days of Imperfection – Day 13}
