Just Perfect

So "Be Not Afraid" is under spam review.  Welcome to "I Mean It".  I hope to be able to get Be Not Afraid back, but I'm afraid I probably won't.  I'd like "I Mean It" to be focused on my family, my experiences in mothering, homeschooling and reflecting and living my faith.   No tutorials - I just can't pull stuff together with the confidence that I could possibly inspire a tutorial...and that goes for the intangibles as well as the tangibles.   But the theme running through my posts is my struggle against perfectionism. 

Just as I'm typing this my 11 year old son came downstairs...and it's way early.  Hunger woke him.  He's ready for scrambled eggs on toast.  Before I even laid the pan on the new range we were forced to purchase on Christmas Eve I deemed it too messy to cook my precious prince's eggs upon.  I broke out the vinegar and putty knife and went to work.

20 minutes later Jake commented that the eggs smelled funny...was I cooking them in vinegar? 

See, perfectionism makes me procrastinate.  It stops me before I start.  I almost deleted this blog to change the name before I finished this post!

Last year, in the confessional, a newly ordained priest gave me wonderful counsel that I repeat daily at one point or another:  Only God is perfect.  You are not He.  God revealed, "I Am Who Am" and I am to rest in Him.
