Crazy days. My mom and dad are in town. My house is a mess because we are trying to pack. But, it's ok, because we are having a good time. I mean we can't stop laughing. I have finally made it to this relationship with my parents where I don't scrutinize every word they say. You know, I am not trying to prove myself to them nor am I looking for their approval. I don't feel like they are judging me and so I don't read something into every word, sigh, or facial expression. I don't panic when they are coming anymore and try to build the "perfect picture" of my life. They accept me for who I am, right now, a person growing toward perfection. Not earthly perfection, but heavenly perfection.
Recently someone asked me if I have any regrets, if there was anything I would do over. I was the only one that said no. I think that is because, as a Christian, I see my life differently than some others. I have learned not to try to be the perfect daughter, wife, whatever but rather be the perfect me. The me that God created me to be! I have learned this journey of life is a long road and if I take a detour, that's ok, I learn and get back on the road. The most important thing I have learned is not to take this journey alone, to let Jesus be my guide. So, next week I will be 30 and I am pretty proud of me, the me I am right now. I hope I will continue to grow in the future but I am satisfied knowing I am a work in progress.
So, are you the perfect you right now? If so what makes you that way? If not what does the perfect you look like in your mind?
