I Don't Have To Be Perfect
Lark

My hair is a mess and I have gained weight and my clothes don't fit and I don't want people I have not seen in a long time to see me until I can get my hair styled and lose weight and my clothes fit. I will go out and allow myself to be enough. I will remember. I don't have to be perfect. I don't have to be perfect. I don't have to be perfect.
My car is a mess and my house is in chaos. My intentions are good but the work does not get done. I wish I were different. I wish I would keep everything in place. I want to scold myself and put myself in time out. I will remember. I don't have to be perfect. I don't have to be perfect. I don't have to be perfect.
I should be tracking the hurricane. I don't have an escape plan. I can't imagine where we will go if we go. I think I should know and that I am letting go of something very important. I will remember. I don't have to be perfect. I don't have to be perfect. I don't have to be perfect.
Please, God! Help me to remember that only you are perfect and that you are in charge and I don't have to be perfect!
Amen!
