Perfection

DEAR GOD,
I can be such a perfectionist! Why do I feel the need to control everyone and everything? I know you love to work through imperfect people and circumstances, and the biggest disasters are often your best opportunities. When I think about it that way, Lord, it's a relief to know that you have everything under control. Help me to trust you.

*** Even perfection has it's limits, but your commands have no limit. PSALM 119:96 ***

Man, does this prayer and verse hit the target! I know I am a perfectionist, Iv'e been medically labeled so OCD. I often struggle with seeking perfection over the smallest things, silly things that matter only to me. Just the other day I had a quick and enlightening conversation with a friend about imperfect and rushed work. As crafters, we want our work to turn out how we had envisioned it. PERFECT! Over the years I had come to learn that often the work that didn't come out exactly how I wanted it had received the most praise. Then I realized, why was I stressing so much about it being perfect as long as it was pleasing. We need to let go perfection and trust that the end result with turn out just as its was meant to.
