There's No Such Thing as Perfect People...

There's no such thing as perfect people.

There's no such thing as a perfect life,

so come as you are, broken and scarred,

lift up your heart and be amazed, and be changed

by a Perfect God!

~Natalie Grant

I heard this song on the radio yesterday, I had never heard it before (even though it is on my iPod, but I also have 734 other songs on there, so there's a good chance, I had never heard it) These past few weeks have been quite challenging for me.  There's not just one big thing in my life that's challenging, but lots of little things. So while in the car yesterday, this song really struck me....I have been trying in the past few weeks to be the "Perfect Person".  I know that I can't be...I want to be though!  I want to be the perfect Christian, the perfect nanny, the perfect daughter, the perfect sister, the perfect friend.... and the list goes on.  I have tried and failed.  I get so upset at myself when I fail, but this song reminded me,

I'm not perfect,

I don't have the perfect life, and will never,

but I do have, a Perfect God.   

And because of that, I can be changed, my life can be changed by that Perfect God.
