How to Decide What Perfect is!

As a woman, we struggle with the idea of being perfect or at least making everything look perfect. I can’t tell you how many times I have cried and overwhelmed myself based on what I wanted others to think or what others didn’t think. We, including myself, always find ways to be our harshest critics. Whether we admit it or not. Daily we find new ways to tell ourselves that there’s something about our appearance or lives that we need to change in order to be one step closer to “perfect”, but how do we decide what perfect is?

Over the years there have been many people who have stated that nobody is perfect, and I would agree and just move on to another topic or task. The other day I read something that changed my perspective on what perfect really means.

“With one sacrifice he made perfect forever those who are being made holy”

Hebrew 10:14 NCV

As believers of Jesus Christ, we are perfect in God’s eyes. He knows what we look like, outwardly and inwardly, our mistakes and our regrets. He sacrificed his own son in order to save us all.

Therefore, we are PERFECT! Never allow your wardrobe, stretch marks, or outsiders to make you feel anything other than perfect. We tend to measure perfect when we compare ourselves or our lives to someone else’s. Let me tell you something I heard from a podcast a while ago that has stuck with me, the fastest way to kill something special is to compare it to something else. Stop comparing yourself to your friends, social media influencers, YouTubers, and celebrities.

Right now I want you to redefine the meaning of perfect. This meaning can be forever changing. As long as you remember that you are perfect and God said that! Every day I want you to look at yourself in the mirror or front-facing camera and say, I am perfect and God promises that! Remain confident and blessed!

I love you but God loves you more

As mentioned in, 5 Daily Me time Ideas, journal your thoughts and reflect on how perfect you already are.

Living or Existing

By Marissa Craft • June 11, 2023

Hey friends, I’m back!! I know, I know… it's been a minute since we’ve last talked. If I am being completely honest I’ve just been very inconsistent with my blog and other things that I once was very consistent at doing. But all in all I'm back and I have a question for you… Are you living or existing? For a little over a year now I have been a single mom and with that comes a lot of ups and downs. I found myself feeling sad, betrayed, and ashamed. Sticking to routines and trying to make sure that I was everything for my children while still trying to have time for myself. I found myself overcompensating for things that I felt they lacked because our family dynamic wasn’t the “traditional” family. Of course I carved out times throughout the day that I considered my me time and yes I still have those set times I realized it wasn't enough. As I reflected on how things were going and compared them to the life I wanted I realized I was only existing on this Earth and not living. I decided it was time to change that and start living. Let me be very clear, I made a conscious decision to start living in a way that benefited me and my kids! It was time for me to embrace the grace that God had given me and grasp the blessings he was providing me. So while I have been away there are a few things that have been accomplished along the way. For starters, I earned a promotion!!!! I have been at my with my current company for a little over a year and they have already given me a leadership position :) I’ve started working out at least 2 days a week, most weeks I get an extra day in. Since my kids were born I have continuously said I was going to workout and always found the excuse that I had no one to watch them. In addition to working out, I’ve been traveling. I never knew how I could financially travel and be a present parent at the same time.But like the old people say, where there is a will there's a way. I’ve been to Hawaii, Washington D.C., and Detroit. Now of course the girl’s trip was a blast, I am most proud of the trip with my kids. As many of you know, I’ve been fighting the anxiety bug when it comes to taking the kids places by myself. Well guess what… I did it! We took a weekend trip to the beach and BAAABY we had a time! We explored museums, playgrounds, dolphin tours, brunch, and more. So yes I have been a little inconsistent with my content and yes I have been MIA from the website but it was with all great intentions! I have been living! I want to encourage you to identify the life you want and find a way to live it! Do not spend a lot of time existing and following through with other people's plans that you forget about your own assignment!
