I know that I do that, too - yet, God can use our weaknesses and our mistakes to draw us to Him and to depend on Him. And He can bring beauty out of our mistakes.

Yes, I so often have put the pressure of "perfection" on myself, too. It is so beautiful that God does not expect this from us at all; and in fact, our imperfections and our weaknesses are opportunities for us to experience His strength and His mercy. Have a very special Mother's Day, filled with His grace and love for you.Cherry Warrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09514526416067526357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2579937009982882894.post-90506845942110163372013-05-10T22:23:18.896-05:002013-05-10T22:23:18.896-05:00Thanks, Melissa.

My sons are both young men now and I often feel regret about all the times I have not been the mother I would have liked to be, but one thing I do know; even though I made many, many mistakes, I tried my best and loved them with all my heart. Well, I still do.<br />Blessings and love to you<br />MiaAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02765891733244054084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2579937009982882894.post-5526092479300201892013-05-09T14:16:17.012-05:002013-05-09T14:16:17.012-05:00I have LIVED in this idea of perfection.

It was pressure that I put on myself. This post is so beautifully written from a heart of experience. Young mothers everywhere should lay eyes on this post. It should be printed and framed as a gift for new mommies. The first quote is a powerful one.MommytheTeacherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12368144294328546497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2579937009982882894.post-70271950125967320832013-05-09T12:48:18.553-05:002013-05-09T12:48:18.553-05:00I've been pondering this idea of perfection th...I've been pondering this idea of perfection that has been placed on mothers a lot lately. We are called to be holy, but will never reach perfection. This was written beautifully and spoke to my heart today.
