Nothing more needs to be added to that or said! Praise God for that characteristic only HE has.<BR/><BR/>I am so thrilled you took the time to ask that challenge question and your friend took the time to fully answer it. It's not something we are used to doing, but it's important to see ourselves sometimes through someone else's lens...someone who has your best interest in mind. Thanks to BOTH of you for sharing.<BR/><BR/>I prayed for you by name tonight!<BR/>Lisa :)Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16078650219972404293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7277715203048174179.post-51732121234791668992008-10-02T13:49:00.000+10:002008-10-02T13:49:00.000+10:00Oh so much in this post to reflect on.

Sounds like you are doing a good jobe of juggleing your time as a single mom (been there done that and have the t-shirt.) Don't worry about not having acquired the 'great Australian dream' of a mortgage as I was 45 before I had my 1st mortgage. Thanks for the great post and I look froward to getting to know you better.Pat N Flhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06093116422058151714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7277715203048174179.post-78721829225551604692008-10-02T11:00:00.000+10:002008-10-02T11:00:00.000+10:00Thanks for your encouraging words, Paula - so grat...Thanks for your encouraging words, Paula - so grateful.

I'm not that good at showing my emotions outwardly, but God is changing that. Also that our strive for perfectionisim is not a flaw, but what God uses us to remind us that we need him. <BR/><BR/>I'm so glad to be on this journey with you. Also what a wonderful note from your best friend. We do tend to be hard on ourselves, we are our own worse critics.<BR/><BR/>Have a wonderful day,<BR/>Love,<BR/>CarolCarolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09550650176617319950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7277715203048174179.post-31137163067599762912008-10-02T05:02:00.000+10:002008-10-02T05:02:00.000+10:00That's a wonderful thing your best friend said. I...That's a wonderful thing your best friend said. <BR/><BR/>I don't know that I believe being real and striving for perfection is a clash. Maybe it's better to say we want to be real while striving to do our very best in every aspect of life. I mean, what harm is there in wanting to try to crack the eggs correctly into the bowl, or to type a grammar-free document, or to whatever. You know what I mean? <BR/><BR/>Maybe we just need to change our perspective and remove that word perfection/perfect. We want to be real while doing our very best. <BR/>I say this because when I read your statement of being real but trying to be perfect, I thought of myself and how that is me. I think I will change my focus to just do my very best. If I have to pick a shell out of the egg or leave one extra letter in a document, then my response is what matters. If I was striving for perfection, I am going to be very disappointed at that shell or letter. If I was striving for my best, I'm going to just try harder next time but not be that disappointed over it.<BR/><BR/>I hope that was not too long winded and crazy. <BR/><BR/>Love the definition of perfection. Maybe you can submit that to Webster's.<BR/><BR/>Love,<BR/>PaulaPaula Vhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13948349907036852384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7277715203048174179.post-91851355848544771102008-10-02T00:15:00.000+10:002008-10-02T00:15:00.000+10:00Hey Paula!

But I just had to tell you, I love what you said here in my comments:<BR/>"We need to cast off what others may think of us, and stop our minds from guessing what they might be thinking, otherwise we will be held captive to it...always. God's opinion is all that matters."<BR/><BR/>I need to hear that again, so thank you. God blessed me with your words this morning.<BR/>Darlene{darlene}https://www.blogger.com/profile/17310243306735564898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7277715203048174179.post-53492420368914849272008-10-01T13:44:00.000+10:002008-10-01T13:44:00.000+10:00I love your definition of perfection!
