The scripture says, “Anyone who Trusts in Him will never be put to shame.” Romans10:11

Progress Not Perfection

…. “I was taught that the way of progress is neither swift nor easy.” – – – Marie Curie

Perfectionism

Perfectionism is a side effect of addiction. Trying to be perfect (impossible) we beat ourselves up, judge, and distort ourselves. We are never enough. Trying too hard and not trying at all are two signs of the coin of perfection. Unfortunately it is a coin that never ever pays off…

Illusions

“It’s our illusions that hang us up.” – – Anne Wilson Schaef Our addictions lead us into a life of illusion. They feed our illusion of control, our illusion of perfectionism, and our honesty. Our addictive behavior allows us to deny reality and justify not living OUR life. One of the significant qualities of being

GOD’S Timetable

God’s Timetable is not necessarily Our Timetable. Events will happen as scheduled and for a bigger picture than Our ego will permit. I will take a long look at where I am today and be grateful for my place. It’s right for me now and is preparing me for my next adventure.
