You touche...I have to agree with Savannah...Whhaaa!<br />You touched a nerve. It's one that isn't as raw as it used to be, thank God, at least not when it comes to my house and my inability to welcome people because of my perfectionistic and then when I don't rate, shame tendencies. Some progress there. However, when you address the impact this has had on my family. Well my feeling that I don't measure up has left them feeling the same about themselves.

I never realized the goal was unattainable because I expected perfection.

I read chapter 7 last night and it started sinking in that I am a perfectionist and need to address this. thanks rachelJennifernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6451874990236641064.post-10282791884280058082011-04-19T12:35:47.671-04:002011-04-19T12:35:47.671-04:00Oh, and I forgot to mention...Jonah and I have alr...Oh, and I forgot to mention...Jonah and I have already been introduced (http://mydevotionaloutlet.blogspot.com/2010/11/gods-word.html), but it was amazing what new insights his little book brought me this morning.

Oh, this chapter is sooo ...Good morning Rachel :-)<br /><br />Oh, this chapter is sooo me! I really enjoyed you describing what happens every morning when I hop on the scale :-) Without a stitch of clothing...after I go to the bathroom...before I can even truly focus on the numbers...that's the only time I'm going to suffer to read what poundage I am currently weighing in at!<br /><br />But, better yet was the rest of the chapter and your post this morning. For the longest time I thought I was lazy because my house is a mess, my carpet is dirty, dust adds texture to all my flat surfaces, etc. But, it really is me giving up because I can't have my house perfect. I have three men and two cats doing their best to ruin any effort I make in that regards (oh, don't get me started on them! :-)).<br /><br />Fortunately, I have realized this about myself and will now clean well (but not fanatically) and am satisfied that I've done it and realize that it won't stay even "good enough" for long.<br /><br />What I need to work on is my dissatisfaction with my lack of spiritual perfection. This will definitely be a week of prayer and using my devotional outlet!<br /><br />Thanks so much for digging in deep and exposing the tough stuff for us!<br /><br />LeahLeah Kelly Cullenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16178753518013168618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6451874990236641064.post-79385328208578944212011-04-19T12:01:08.806-04:002011-04-19T12:01:08.806-04:00Thanks Rachel When I read this this morning and th...Thanks Rachel When I read this this morning and the perfectionism as it relates to others. I had to stop and examine myself ( and I haven't gotten to the chapter yet) but instantly I switch to how I want to change hubby and how wrong that it, and this came to me before coffee , maybe that helped cushion the blow of a truth revealed. <br /><br />DebiConnecting to the soulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17880943173532146894noreply@blogger.com
