Be strong (confident) and of good courage... ~ Joshua 1:6
He makes my feet like the hinds' [firm and able]; He sets me secure and confident upon the heights. ~ 2 Samuel 22:34
And you shall be secure and feel confident because there is hope; yes, you shall search about you, and you shall take your rest in safety. ~ Job 11:18
In peace I will both lie down and sleep, for you, Lord, alone make me dwell in safety and confident trust ~ Psalm 4:8

Reach for Him!
I have never seen myself as a perfectionist until yesterday when I was looking out the kitchen window reflecting on the beauty of spring like weather. I have been living life with the mindset of reaching for perfect conditions but never getting there. It's a mindset that effects how I see things, circumstances and situations. Therefore, I stop myself from truly living. Living how I really want, living how God wants and enjoying the life Christ died to give me.
As I was thinking all this, I heard His still small voice say to me, "You think your reaching for perfection but it's not perfection because it's by your standard of perfection, not mine. Reach for me! I'm perfect". It was in that moment that I ran down a list in my head of all the areas I have been reaching for perfection by my own self and not Him...
My marriage
My house
Cooking
The kids
School
Relationships
Myself even. There is just so many things and so many details. His plan is the only perfect plan. I have missed out on so much and He wants to turn my life around with this one mindset, reaching for Him!
