I saw another blog today that was about being imperfect. I think it was such a great idea. We all have Facebooks and see a SMALL glimpse into other people's lives..but it doesn't always help us. Seeing these things can lead to jealousy, envy, and anger, towards your own FRIENDS! I know people that get this way about what they see all the time(and I have before, too) but most of it isn't reality. These people aren't "perfect" at all. They aren't alllwayys happy with themselves or in their relationship. They don't have prefect families or things like that. Not to say these people are lying but it is just that they don't exclaim when they are unhappy and so on. Obviously, we know that the perfection we see on TV isn't reality.. BUTTTT- when it comes down to things happening in our own lives, we wonder "Why aren't things happening this/that way like it did for so and so..?" or say "It shouldn't be happening this way!" Right away we don't think about a movie or television but you are usually comparing yourself to another person/character that you've seen before. That's what makes it hard! It's subconscious thinking! Love isn't always pretty or fun. Children aren't always on their best behavior. Jobs/school doesn't always go great!! Everyone has their challenges!
Anyway, I just want to remind people that this is life.. YOUR life! It's 87334082347x different than the next person's. Being Imperfect is what makes us so wonderful. Maybe we can better embrace our imperfections by putting them out there and not keep them floating in our heads to be "ashamed" of. Keep in mind.. everyone is critical about so many different things about themselves. As long as you know that God created you JUST the way he wanted. He is ultimately in control and He loves you no matter what! This world is only temporary and at the end of days we will be able to sit with the Lord alone and talk with him about anything. God is Omnipresent, he is everywhere all of the time. You can't hide from Him and He knows every feeling you've ever had. Don't be ashamed!! Embrace who you are and who He wants you to be!
WHAT I THINK ARE MY IMPERFECTIONS:
- Stretch marks (Thank you, Noelle.. Mommy loves you)
- Always having to do things MY way
- When I get nervous I ramble
There is honestly sooo much more but I can't list them all. But my silly imperfections can be crazy to anyone else but they're something to me. Like yours are something to you! haha!
Here's to being yourself..
