Do you ever feel inadequate?

It’s hard to imagine how anyone could love you with all your missteps?

As a recovering perfectionist it’s easy for me to feel like I could be better.

Every blog post could be better. I could be a better wife, mom, Mimi, daughter, or sister. My house could be cleaner. Whatever it is I could & should be better.

Bob gave me this plaque a couple years ago. I am learning that I really am braver than I have believed, stronger than I have seemed, smarter than I think, and loved more than I know.

This plaque is super special to me as I know it’s from his heart. I have had to learn to accept that he really thinks and believes these things because I realized it made him feel bad when I didn’t believe him. It’s crazy when I think about it now. I thought about how it would make me feel if someone did not believe what I said about them when I had said it from my heart.

With God you are Stronger and Braver than you think.

I wonder if God feels this way about me when I don’t believe I am good enough or I don’t believe his grace is big enough to cover my sins. There are times when God brings things to mind that I need to deal with.  I need to deal with them then accept His grace and move on.

The devil will always be there trying to make me believe that God’s grace isn’t enough.  That I’m not enough. God’s grace is enough! Because Christ is enough, I am enough, and you are too!!
