In an effort to remain completely transparent, I admit I struggle with feeling adequate.
I want to make sure I'm a "good enough" mom, stepmom, wife, Christian, teacher, daughter, sister, aunt-you name it.
I have a hard time allowing myself grace and forgiveness when I mess up. I fret over a lot, a lot more than I should and I fret over things that are inconsequential. It's easy to say, "Give it to God." But the giving part isn't so easy. I feel like a burden, like there are so many people with such bigger problems that I shouldn't bother God with it and I'll just handle it-eventually (maybe).
Don't get me wrong, I don't feel I can handle it all better than God, I just feel I shouldn't "bother" Him with it.
This has nothing to do with how I was raised in my faith or what my current church practices, this is all on me-for whatever reason.
So, my first step to being "better" or stronger in all the above areas is to take a page from the Disney book and "Let It Go" (to God).
