perfect

ahh. perfect. i wish i was. or do i? i don't know. all i know is i'm not. i make mistakes. we all make mistakes. sometimes they matter, sometimes they don't. what i have come to realise over the last week is that you need to be honest with yourself. you need to be able to stop and say bugger. i stuffed (sorry mum - she hates that word for some reason) up. it doesn't really matter if anyone else knows or not, though if someone else is involved you do need to fess up. the point is to be honest with yourself first, then anyone else you might need to be honest with. it's no good walking around thinking you are the only perfect one, and we all do that at times i am sure...unless it's just me.

it's tuesday night and i can tell you that i made mistakes on monday and i made mistakes today. so far i'm 2/2 for the week. while for once in my life i am not trying to get 7/7, i won't be surprised if i do.

i've often heard or picked up the idea that people think Christians are supposed to be perfect. well i'm definitely not. what it does mean to me is that i try not to make mistakes, but when (notice i say when not if) i do, i have a responsibility to recognise it, apologise if necessary, mend whatever i can if appropriate, learn from it and that i can ask for forgiveness from God and man/woman. i'm blessed that God forgives over and over again, coz i sure need it.

(p.s. just wanted to point out that in the picture of me and beth from RAWards, she has dirt on her nose - it was part of her costume!!!)
