Why is it that we as women (and Christians in general) feel like we have to be so perfect? I struggle with this constantly. I am a perfectionist and beat myself up when I don't meet my own standards. So many times, my standards have no foundation in Christ, but in my own need to "look" good.
Unfortunately, this attitude often takes over our churches as well. Someone that I follow on Twitter posted a link to this article. It was MORE than worth the read!

Don't forget to vote
Tuesday is primary voting here in SC. Please go out and vote!!!! Don't just vote, educate yourself. This is an important election. When choosing your state level candidates, please consider (or ask them if you don't know) where they stand on reforming the foster care system. Are they going to stand by the Governor's new law to expedite the adoption process. How are they going to help these children and the families caring for them.
There are thousands of children in this state affected by this everyday. Just this week our family has been greatly affected by this.
Vote and stand up for those that can't stand for themselves!
Tough Day
I am not a crier, but yesterday was one of those days. I woke up 2 hours before the alarm went off and had a lot on my mind. Met with my student and to say it was a rough session is an understatement. Left the session to drive to a graduation luncheon in Simpsonville. While in route I got a call from Reese's case worker. Somethings have happened with the case and we most likely will not be going to court next week and have no indication as to when we will. This is the third time since the fall that we have thought we were going to court and it didn't happen.
There is still a chance that it will happen, but at this point I am not counting on it. Please pray for us! Pray that things will move on and that we will be at peace about the situation.
