Just in case anyone out there was thinking that I might be perfect, I'd like to assure you that I am far from it. Perfection is something I will never achieve. I make mistakes every day. Yep, every single day. I don't really like to admit that either. I wish I were able to say that I only mess up twice a week or something like that, but that's just not going to happen while I reside here on this earth.
You see, there are days that I think I have it all together and then bang! I stubbed my toe and something slipped out of my mouth that should have been bleeped. I might see a person in a store that I strongly dislike and my mind automatically says, "Ugh! I hate her!" when my heart knows better than to have let hate slip in. Maybe I yelled at my children one day. Maybe I told them to shut-up. Maybe I was secretly planning the demise of someone. There's always something that's going to slip up on me. Thankfully, I know how to battle those things. I have a Savior that left me a map and a key to show me how to navigate this life. I can promise you that I struggle daily. I can also promise you that I have to tap into His love and mercy every single day in order to survive.
I don't think this life is about attaining perfection, but rather the journey towards a fulfilled life. A life where Christ is the captain of my ship. Ahoy!
