picture me {im}perfectly.fighting this life

do you sometimes fight this life?
i do.

do you sometimes let thoughts seep in
about what you would do
that would change your circumstances?
i do.

but i know that is not from the Lord.
and that there isn’t anything good
that comes from those thoughts.

 

 

 

i sometimes find myself thinking
that if this wasn’t this way
or that wasn’t that way
then i would be able to do this or that
much more easily
or without struggle.
but God is in the struggles.
He needs us to struggle in this life
so that we can come to Him
and grasp for His hand
through this imperfect life.
throughout this imperfect life.

 

 

take a look at Gabe’s blog

where she recognizes our limitations
but see’s God’s lack of limitations.

 

picture me {im}perfectly
is a weekly project to reveal
that we don’t have it all together.

 

i will post a

picture me {im}perfectly

blog post every wednesday

where you will be able to link up to your blog

revealing that:

you are not picture perfect,

your kids are not picture perfect,

your house is not picture perfect,

your crafts are not always picture perfect,

 

let’s

encourage,

inspire and

remind

other women

that none of us have it all together.

These things happened to them as examples
and were written down as warnings for us,
on whom the fulfillment of the ages has come.
