Progress over Perfection

July 22, 2019

I’ve always struggled with perfectionism. Whether it’s me not feeling pretty enough, smart enough, skinny enough, curvy enough, healthy enough, like I’m doing enough or just enough period, I had to realize that none of those thoughts are from God. I am beginning to see the beauty in my progress, how far I’ve come and just how much God loves me, flaws and all. Yeah, I fall short, but His grace covers me. She is progress, not perfection.

As women we are so bombarded with with the world’s standards of how we ought to be. If you’re not a certain size, then you’re overweight. If you aren’t eating 100% plant-based or according to the new fad diet, then you’re unhealthy. If you aren’t cleaning your home daily or if it’s not Pinterest-worthy, then you’re dirty. If you’re a working mom, then you don’t care about your kids. If you’re a stay-at-home mom, then you have no personal ambitions or real goals or you’re just lazy. If you’re an entrepreneur or striving to be one, then you need to be working just as hard, if not harder, than the next entrepreneur. And so many more. I have to admit that I fall under the influence or pressure of many of these worldly standards and I become so hard on myself when I don’t measure up.

I shared a while back that I struggle with perfectionism and I’m overly critical of myself. If I make a mistake, don’t meet a deadline, feel like I could be doing more I will beat myself up about it. I will constantly think about it and end up feeling stressed and anxious. It wasn’t until I started inviting God into my life on a daily basis in an intentional way that I started realizing what I was doing and understanding why I did it (I praise God for my social work background and ability to be self-aware). God had to show me that the world’s standards of perfection are #1 not from Him and #2 are a lie because the world is not perfect. He showed me that as long as I continue to chase after worldly perfection I will never measure up and will continue to feel inadequate – it’s a never-ending cycle.

God has shown me that His love and His grace covers my shortcomings and all the things that I think I am not. He doesn’t expect any of the above mentioned from me, He just wants my heart. The more I surrender those thoughts, those unrealistic standards to Him, the more I realize that His yoke is easy and the burden/pressure of worldly perfection is not from Him. He’s most concerned about perfecting my character for His kingdom and I’ve come to appreciate the progress in that.

I want to encourage you to focus on the progress you’ve made in allowing God to perfect your character for His kingdom. Romans 3:23 reminds us that we all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. We all mess up, we all make mistakes and do things over and over that we said we wouldn’t do. We don’t measure up, we have many flaws, but God’s love and His grace covers all of that. You may not be perfect, but you are God’s work in progress ?

It’s my BIRTHDAY 🥳🎉💕

Today I choose joy, gratitude, peace, abundance, love, hope and all the good things! Year 35 was filled with many ups and downs, but I’m so thankful for the growth, to still be here and to be in purpose. Although I was certain this birthday would look different, I know that God still has a great plan and a promise to fulfill. So, I enter chapter 36 with expectancy and faith 🙌🏽

Also, now that I’m over 30 and closer to 40 I can never remember my age. I always ask my husband how old we are because who keeps up with ages after 30?! 🤷🏽‍♀️ 

Anyway, cheers to 36 🥂 (P.S. if you want to bless your girl with a little birthday coffee money check my stories 🥰🙏🏽)

It’s June which means it’s my birth month 🎉💕 

I remember last year at this time feeling sad about June because our daughter would have been born in June. But then God turned those feelings of sadness into joy as He began to show that He was doing a new thing for us as it related to our fertility journey.

I realized recently that this will be our third year of treatment, our third round of IVF, our third embryo transfer and we’ve lost three little babies (I’ve also had three surgeries and have seen three doctors). I’m always curious about the significance of numbers in the Bible. I remember experiencing a series of sevens during our first round. I found that the number three means harmony, God’s presence, new life and completeness. I don’t know if or how this applies to our next steps, but I’m choosing to hold onto His word that reminds me to forget what has passed for it is nothing compared to what He is going to do. I still believe God is doing something new and as I enter a new month, I’m claiming new blessings, new mercies, new paths and new streams 🙌🏽

What are you claiming this month? Let me know below ⬇️

Today we are celebrating the most special woman in our lives, our mommy @ms_dap21 🎉💕 Today she turns 60 and I’m so thankful that God has blessed her with another year of life and to see a major milestone. We’ve learned so much from her and she’s such a great example of a loving, hardworking, determined, strong woman of God. 

Growing up we always celebrated her birthday together and when we all moved to different states, it made that tradition a little harder. So, to celebrate together this year in Mexico is such a blessing 💕 Thank you God!

I remember last year at this time feeling sad about June because our daughter would have been born in June. But then God turned those feelings of sadness into joy as He began to show that He was doing a new thing for us as it related to our fertility journey.

I’m always curious about the significance of numbers in the Bible. I remember experiencing a series of sevens during our first round. I found that the number three means harmony, God’s presence, new life and completeness.

3/5
Today we are celebrating the most special woman in our lives, our mommy @ms_dap21 🎉💕 Today she turns 60 and I’m so thankful that God has blessed her with another year of life and to see a major milestone. We’ve learned so much from her and she’s such a great example of a loving, hardworking, determined, strong woman of God. 

Growing up we always celebrated her birthday together and when we all moved to different states, it made that tradition a little harder. So, to celebrate together this year in Mexico is such a blessing 💕 Thank you God!

4/5
God has really been working on me in the area of worry. During my 21-day fast that was one of our focuses, to abstain from worrying. Someone asked me, “how do you stop worrying? That’s so hard.” That was my question as well because for so long worry has been my first response to any type of threat, problem or challenge in life. Worry is the result of focusing on our inabilities instead of focusing on God’s abilities. The more I read about what God has to say about worry the more I realized that worry is a choice and we have more control over that thing than we realize. 

God promises us peace but peace doesn’t just come magically. That promise of peace is conditional which means we have to do something in order to receive it - thus indicating that we have a choice. God promises us peace if our minds are fixed on Him, not on our problems. God knows that we will be faced with situations in life that will cause us to worry, but the beauty in this is that we can choose how to respond to those situations. We can choose to worry or choose to accept peace. We make it so complex but when you think about it it’s so simple.

If you are like me and you often let worry dictate how you respond to life’s challenges, I want to encourage you to choose peace. When you feel yourself being filled with worry or anxiety, turn those thoughts over to God and practice that every single moment the enemy tries to tempt you to worry. It’s not going to be an easy habit to break but we know that practice makes perfect.

If you’re choosing peace this week, let me know in the comments and share this with someone else who needs to choose peace 🙏🏽🤍
