Perfection and Control
When women wanted to take control they also strived for perfection. (1920s)
Loosing control is a testimony to those around us ... Winning our husbands by our "good works" ... Adorned with "good works"
It's not about control and accomplishing, or looking, or living like the magazines and movies say ... It's not about "making it happen"
As women we can "do it!" The problem is that we become so focused on the goal, the perfection, the image that we are blinded to the consequences that follow.
Distance from those around us (family and friends).
Judgmental
Insecure
Self righteous
It's important to trust God an align ourselves to his word and will!
Loose control - die to ourselves
Become a servant to all (start with our families). When we loom at our lives first of all we have to be honest with ourselves and then take deep analyzing reflective look are my priorities: God and Family? Everything that follows is our own choice, but these too MUST be our priority. God must be our focus, our heart must beat for Him. Secondly our families. As a mother, a wife it is my responsibility to set the stage for the home. My ultimate goal is to live a life of Christ centered sacrifice, serving, love, and joy - to set the atmosphere in the home as I teach and train my children and help my husband.
Perfection is impossible ... Maybe your surroundings look perfect(every thing is in order), but somewhere your priorities are suffering because of it. We all know the stress and anxiety that comes from striving for perfection. ... Let go! Let God be in control.
This is one of the most important things for us to realize in order to have healthy relationships with God, our creator - the one who longs to walk with us. Our relationship with him is to model a Friendship ... What kind of friend are you?
I don't want to be a social friend. I want to be a friend that hides with him in a secret place. The kind that pours her heart out and trust without reserve. I want to be not only the talker but the listener. I want to hear his heartbeat.
